    1. [NJCUMBER] MEAD Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of photographs which I believe all belong to the MEAD Family of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The photographs included are as follows: 1. Hannah MEAD, no studio or location, dated 1899 or 1900, woman in her 70's or 80's, note "Mother's sister" 2. Hannah MEAD, D. Keller Studio in Bridgeton, NJ, 1870's or 1880's, woman in her 60's 3. Florence MEAD, Lippe Studio in Philadelphia, 1890's or early 1900's, girl in her teens, middle initial is included but difficult to read, could be "E" or "A" or "H" 4. Unidentified Male, Lippe Studio in Philadelphia, 1890's or early 1900's, man in his 50's or 60's Thanks to the help of a MEAD Family Researcher I was able to identify the family as follows: Hannah HALL b. 10 Apr 1827 in NJ to parents John HALL (b. 5 Aug 1798 in NJ) and Elizabeth NICHOLSON (b. 9 Jun 1798 in NJ). Hannah married Christopher C. MEAD (b. 3 Feb 1828 in NJ) on 19 Jun 1856. Together the couple had 3 children including, James L.; Mary E.; and George C. MEAD all born between 1859 and 1862 in NJ, the last born in Pilesgrove, NJ. Hannah HALL MEAD d. 2 Nov 1907 in Cold Harbor, VA. The oldest son James L. MEAD b. Oct 1859 in NJ, married Hannah BORDEN (b. Nov 1860 in NJ) in 1880 and they had three children including two girls Alice M. and Florence B. MEAD. Florence B. MEAD was b. Jan 1886 in IL and d. 26 Jun 1906 in Philadelphia, PA. I am hoping to locate someone from this MEAD Family so that the photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
