1800s PHOTO of LUTHER PIKE Cheney - MASS
This is a reposting of a notice from Feb, 1999:
I am trying to locate descendants of LUTHER PIKE CHENEY and MARY TAGGART. They were married at Lawrence in Essex County, Mass., on December 4, 1848. They appear on the Mass. census records for 1850 in Lawrence, Essex County. Mary had a brother CHARLES "L. or S." Taggart.
I am assuming that "DANFORTH Cheney" is Luther's son but his photo was made at Brookfield, Missouri in 1891 (?). He appears to be about 20 years younger than Luther. Chas. Taggart's photo was made at Waltham, Mass. Luther Cheney's photos was made at St. Johnsbury, VT. A few photos were made at Albany, NY.
And there is a baby photo of "Ed Smith", a "Nellie Kellogg" St. Johnsbury, VT; "David Floyd JONES"; "Kate Francis Benedict CHILD"; Kate Child, mother of Bess Child SMITH; Mrs. Miller's baby; a group shot of David Floyd Jones, Nellie FERGUSON, Mabel Ferguson, John GRIFFITH, Mr. Ferguson, and Belle C. Smith; and others I have difficulty reading.
There's about 80 photos in all; many are not marked but obviously resemble one another.
What it is: I have a box of old family photos circa 1890 to 1930. I "rescued" them from a local Lakewood antique fair where they were being sold individually but it struck me that these were part of a family collection. The vendor said it came from an estate sale but the vendors at this fair come from all over the eastern seaboard. I hoped the postcards would be a clue but they are all addressed to a Jonathon Nelson.
I am in Atlanta, GA. If you have any clues as to who these folks might be, or where else I might post a notice for the descendents to claim their photos, please contact me. I am a genealogist and I'd like to add the genealogy to this photo collection for whenever it is claimed by descendents.
Thanks :-)
