Seeking identity of a Mrs. Martha Harris and a Miss Minnie Harris whose pictures are in a small family album dated 1864. Martha has dark hair and Minnie is a teenager (?). On the back is the name of the photographer and Shreveport, LA. Other Harris female photos in the album are Angelina Harris Taintor and Hypagia Harris Whepley. Angelina was born in Pittsylvania, Co., VA in 1819, married Giles Taintor in MS in 1839 and moved to Shreveport by 1850. Hypagia was born in VA about 1828, married Daniel Whepley in Natchez in 1846 and was in CA by 1850. She died there in 1863. The album was a gift to her son William by his father in 1864. No male Harris names are known. The Harris families in the specific MS counties and in Shreveport in the time frame known have no apparent ties to VA or to the females pictured. These girls must have been related to someone named Harris. Family story is that they lived on a plantation on the Mississippi. Liz Bawden
