Thanks to everyone who put me on the right trail from VA to OH --had many responses and some good tips of where to look. I have another question for everyone -- I have an OLD photo of an ancestor CHRISTINA HEDGE from Polkadotte, Lawrence, Ohio -- it is about 1840-1860 she is wearing chains around her neck they are not small chains but rather large and then look as though they go down her front -- photo only goes to waist. My husband and I are wondering WHAT they are for?? Was this a style or was it for mourning or what?? Anyone have any ideas on this one.
