Thank you Stacey!
I love the old pictures with the clothes..your great grandma was beautiful in that studio photo..Sue J
Stacey, Those were great pictures! I love older pictures and I have some of my great and 2nd great granparents in old frames. The pictures of our ancestors are priceless as far as I’m concerned. I wouldn’t take all the money in the world for them. Thank you for sharing.
Stacey,
I thank you with all my heart for sharing these. Going through old photos of my mother’s was such a favorite treat for me when I was little, that I just found a great well of peace inside me, and it’s because I got to see old phot’s of your family. Thank you for that! It was kind of like a mini vacation. You have a very beautiful family and I so appreciate you sharing them with us. Love & Light, Lynella.:)
Anna Elizabeth was certainly Indian looking. She reminds me of the photos taken of the students at Carlisle Indian school.
Thanks for all the kind words.
The studio picture of my great grandmother is kind of a mystery to me. Did people in that timeframe (ca 1890 – 1899) normally wear a robe and tie for pictures? I have wondered if it was a graduation picture of some sort. High school? College? Etc.? But, I don’t know if she went to college, or even if she graduated from high school. My aunt told me that after Anna got married she taught botany in Florence, Alabama before moving to Tullahoma, Tennessee and Indiana. Did a person have to have any higher education to teach then? According to Lauderdale County’s Library, there were three possible places she could have taught with the most likely being the Baptist University.

Stacey,
I noticed that too, and was wondering if she had been attending a private school or Christian accademy or something where everyone wore the same thing, because of dress codes. It’s an interesting question.;) Love & light, Lynella.
Tried to attach pics of my Jones women ancestors. The attachment function said file was too big. The pics were down to 150 pixels.
I don’t have a website to send folks to. Any advice on how to send pics?

Ps. it looks like my computer will let me send photos to My Family site, using something called Share-to-web, if I can figure out how. Gonna go try but any other advice about sending via email, for instance, appreciated.
Send them to me. I’ll save them to our image file. If you input them yourself, they’ll be lost in the database. If you still have them in the larger file size, send that
Hi Linda,
Did you ever get the pics? Is the image gallery accessible by viewers?
(Btw, I was re=reading something you wrote, mentioning the Cape Fear River and the Saponi connection. It meant nothing to me at the time but since then I’ve found that my earliest ancestor on my Wimberley line (also seem to be Vaughans and probably Birds on that side early on) lived near Apex, NC, where once they put in the railroad, rain on the train could flow down into 2 different rivers, one of them Cape Fear.
