    1. [NEWTON] DOLITTLE or DOOLITTLE - NEWTON Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the DOLITTLE or DOOLITTLE Family of New York. The first is a photograph of George DOLITTLE which was taken at the T. Henry Black Studio in Jamestown, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with George appearing to be in his teens at the time. In addition to his name, someone has written "son of Laura" on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is identified as Laura DOLITTLE, though there is not studio or location indicated the photograph appears to have been taken in the 1900's with Laura likely in her 50's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Laura Matilda NEWTON b. May 1847 in Crawford, PA to parents Amos B. NEWTON (b. about 1816 in Brattleboro, VT) and Maryanna ROSS. Laura married Ezra DOOLITTLE on 31 Dec 1868 in Jamestown, NY and died in 1917 in Kiantone, NY and is buried at the Ross Mills Cemetery in Ellicott, NY. George S. DOOLITTLE was b. about 1868 in Kiantone, NY to parents Ezra DOOLITTLE and Laura Matilda NEWTON.
