Everly(Everley)- Shelby Co, OH -1860s
I have in my possession, an album of tin-type photos. Someone, I don't know who, has written in pencil under the pictures who the subjects in the pictures are. The style of the handwriting leads me to believe that the notations were made long ago. The notations are as follows:
1) Grandmother McKinney, Pa's mother. She was a Hughes [picture of an elderly lady]
2) Laura Jane Everley [a young girl]
3) Everley Family & Vina, my mother's half-sister [in picture, Father,Mother, Sister and
5 children-2 girls & 3 boys]
4) Rachel Ann Legg & son Eddie [a young boy], Pa's sister
5) Frank Legg
6) Sam Wilkinson & Emma (was Everley), just after they were married [a young couple]
7) Edna Wilkinson [an infant, I presume to be the child of Sam & Emma]
8) Vina Colby (was Hall or Hale), maw's half sister [a young woman, see (A) above]
9) Zeb Colby [a very thin, gaunt looking man, see (A) above]
10) Laura Everley & cousin Frank Legg [Laura looks to be in her teens, Frank possibly in his twenties, same Frank as in #5 above, am not sure if the Laura is the same as the Laura Jane in #2 above. If so, this picture taken some years later.]
Of the above notations, those enclosed in ( ) were written in the book as I found it, those enclosed in [ ] are my comments.
2) Laura Jane Everley [a young girl]

Of the above notations, those enclosed in ( ) were written in the book as I found it, those enclosed in [ ] are my comments.There are no other notations in the album as to where or when these pictures were taken, but how I wish there were!! The only clue I have to the location of any of these people is the marriage certificate listing Shelby County, Ohio as Zeb Colby's and LaVina Hall's residence at the time of their marriage. My husband's mother told me Zeb and LaVina lived in Logan County, Ohio at one time.
Anyone have any knowledge of these families?
