Hi cousins, I have gone through my "heiritage album" & have identified about 12 pages which may be of interest to my fellow ALLISON &/or GIFFORD researchers or others researching in PA & OH. It is sitting right here waiting to be copied - the pages are each 12 by 12 but some have only one larger photo mounted on the page. In any case, I can get the pages color copied at Staples sometime in the next 10 days or so for any of you who would like to have them. ALL of the individuals below are from the families which lived in Erie County PA, Lake Pleasant & environs, from the late 1790s. & some members of both families moved to OH (first to Lake County, then later elsewhere). The photos are from the 1800s for the most part, with only some of my grandmother Mary Ellen GIFFORD's (b. 1875) children & neices & nephews taken in the early 1900s Here's what they include. . . Photos of - * William ALLISON II (b. 1808) & wife Harriet CARSON (b.1805) &together, as young people ( I can't tell age, but certainly no more than their mid 40s & maybe even 20s??) - in any case, this was taken YEARS before the later ones below. **This is the son of the patriot William Allison who fought in the MtJoy (PA) militia in the revolution ** * Harriet Carson ALLISON as an old lady * William ALLISON II as an old man, both this & the one of his wife above must have been taken about 1890. * William GIFFORD b 1816 * Myrtie GIFFORD, daughter of James, grandaughter of William * James GIFFORD with wife Betsy & son & daughter * 4 teenage (?) children last names Monroe & Miller - notes say William GIFFORD's daughters' children * Mr & Mrs Leslie GIFFORD & son & daughter * Desire GIFFORD - (William's daughter) & husband Joseph Prialux & 2 young children who relocated to Maquokota LA * George GIFFORD * Rachel (Mrs George W) GIFFORD with daughter Nellie & 3 other ladies, dated 1901 *Jessie GIFFORD's son (Name unkown) * Unknown GIFFORD female * Nellie GIFFORD & mother Rachel & father George at family home in Lake Pleasant PA, with visiting neices Ina MILLER & Daisy MONROE * Postcards written to Rachel GIFFORD in 1910 * Postcards written by John GIFFORD to his mother Rachel, as he went on a trip through the American west & MEXICO dated 1911 & 1912 * & of course I have more of Nellie GIFFORD McMACKIN since she was my grandmother - some as a young girl & others with her children in the early 1900s Let me know what you would like if you're interested. I'm glad to be finally able to get around to doing this to do something to give back to other researchers who have shared their information with me. Of course I'd love to show this to you in person, so if any of you are near Cleveland or the area around Pueblo CO, maybe we can get together. I'll be flying to Walsenburg CO to visit my eldest daughter & family for Thanksgiving & will be flying to Cleveland to see my one & only & now quite elderly half sister sometime this winter or spring.
