Update on the effort to identify the photographs.
The locket is an Ambrotype photograph.These were made from 1854 to the 1860s.
My first thought was that this was Mary Ann PEEBLES b.1840, but I'm inclined now to think that it isn't.
1. I received a picture of Mahala PEEBLES, the sister of Mary Ann PEEBLES.Mahala looks nothing like the picture. Doesn't prove that it isn't Mary Ann, but there is no family resemblence.
2. The tin type photo that I found at the same time was Myra PACE and her sister May PACE. I would date this photo around 1892. Myra married William Henry BROCK b.1866, TX.The box I found these pictures in was a box of BROCK photos, but these pictures were evidently saved by Myra (PACE) BROCK.
3. Instead of Mary Ann PEEBLES, I think that this picture is Myra's mother -- Julia Ann BOONE b.1843, IN.There is a strong resemblence between another picture of Myra taken around 1900 and the picture taken around 1865, who I think is her mother.
Would like to dialogue with anyone that might have additional insight.
