Several of the pictures have names on the back and I was able to do some preliminary research on these people. I am trying to repatriate these pictures with their family. The following is an outline of the family connections as far as I have been able to determine: Picture 1 is a tintype of Eddie FRENCH son of Erastus and Mellisa (HAWKINS) FRENCH, m. Spt. 30, 1868 in Sullivan Co. In the 1880 U.S. census for Turman, Sullivan, Indiana we find Erastus & Malissa FRENCH with a Anna L. ADAMS who is 11 yrs old in 1880 making her birth around 1869. Picture 2 is of Anna L. ADAMS (BAILEY) I found a marriage in Sullivan County between a John H. BAILY and Anna L. ADAMS, Mar 13 1887. His parents were Oliver BAILY & Lillis PHILLIPS. Her parents were Owen ADAMS & Sarah HAWKINS. Picture 3 is of Jesse E. ADAMS. He married Florence B. YATES on Dec.2, 1897 in Sullivan Co. Her parents were Isaac R. & Mary A (AUSTIN) YATES. His parents were, you guessed it, Owen & Sarah (HAWKINS) ADAMS. Picture 4 is of Mrs. M. ADAMS & boy. I assume this to be Jesse E. and his mother. Picture 5 is of Miss Lina(?) ADAMS. I think this could be the sister of Owen ADAMS, but no proof. Picture 6 is of Sally ADAMS. It looks contemporary with Owen ADAMS & his wife & sister but I don't know if it she is an ADAMS by marriage or not. Picture 7 is of Mr. L(?) ADAMS & girl. Too hard to read the first initial. Picture 8 is of John? It doesn't look like ADAMS but I can't read it. This one has a photographers name printed on the back. It states; PECKOVER'S Photograph Gallery, Paris KY. Most of these pictures are the same size and are the same design as the above-mentioned PECKOVER'S style. There is also the name E. L. WELLS (?) written on a few of them but I am pretty sure this is just the recipient of some of the pictures. There are also a few other unnamed pictures all on the same type of stock as the PECKOVER'S paper. Also included are about 6 or 7 unidentified tintypes. One is of 3 gents and is dated Aug 13/84. Please contact me if you would like to discuss these pictures further. Thanks soooooooooo much, in advance! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
