Like many genealogists and family historian, I have photographs of people I cannot identified. When I first came into possession of them, I just assumed the photographs were of my ancestors. People in the family.
I may have made a wrong assumption.
Many of my unidentified photographs were among my great grandmother Eshter L Richardson's things. (I've written about Esther frequently here on my blog.) As I have gotten to know her through her saved letters and postcards, I learned that she was very social and had a lot of friends with whom she kept in touch. This was the early 1900's when photographs were becoming more popular and easy to share.
I had a lot of her correspondence with her friends (and beaus), why not photographs? Below are some of those photographs I still cannot identify. I believe the individuals to have been from Pittsylvania County, Halifax County or Mecklenburg County areas of south central Virginia.
Possible surnames might include: Farson, Clark, Satterfield, Meadows, or Roberts. Some Elliotts might be there as well.
Take a look. If you see anyone you might recognize, leave me a comment. If you know anyone researching these surnames or this area of Virginia, forward them my link. I am going to need help identifying these individuals.
