Vicki: I remember an occupation of 'daguerrotypist' for a person enumerated in the 1850 census for Gibson County. I'm pretty sure that the person lived in the town of Trenton at that time. It impressed me that Gibson county had a photographer in 1850, probably less than 10 years after that art/science was introduced to the U.S. Dennis West in Knoxville, TN. =============== Vicki wrote: > My cousin found a daguerreotype of a gentleman that I think may possibly be > my B.F.
