    3. Good one, Tommy. I just finished a 100 page plus history of Wyly since 1700 " some Clevelands & Seviers since 1600s for the reunion next week. While prepareing it on the computer I found 5 tintypes in Mattiwe Roberts Somerville boxes. Photographic camers came in just before the Covil War. Some tell me one of the tintypes was of an ancestor of 1820- 1840's. How old are tintypes? Didn't they have them in France in early 1800's? I have seen this tintype on a photo film. It must have come to Mattie through Sparks- Wyly connections. Take care, Charles Wyly
