I have two photos of Joseph.One is very small, and appears to have been taken in the early 1850's - probably shortly after his graduation from West Point.The second is larger, must have been taken in Richmond about 1863; in it he is wearing the uniform of a colonel, CSA.
I also have a photo of his wife, Cora (Semmes) Ives.This photo is a bit confusing.It has a caption, the source of which is unknown to me, that says it was taken in 1848, but that is CLEARLY incorrect.The actual photo, in the possession of a descendent, has the date 1870 on the back, in Cora's own handwriting, and that date looks to be much more reasonable.
Anyway, let me know which of these would be of interest to you, and where to send them.All three are in electronic format, so easiest would be e-mail.
