I know that the picture on the left is a picture of my paternal great-grandmother Carrie Terry Warner (see blog posts about Carrie’s letters). I know that the picture was taken most likely in the late 1870s or early 1880’s in NYC because the photographer was Rockwood of Union Square N. Y. I have been able to verify that he who worked in NYC at that time. Carrie lived about 65 miles East of New York City but attended a Normal School in Trenton, N.J. from 1879-1881. She made the trip from Peconic, N. Y. to Trenton going by boat, train, carriage and ferry.
The picture of the woman on the right is of my paternal great-great grandmother Sarah Hughes Rowan (see blog post Rowan and Hughes Family). Sarah was born, raised, married and lived in New York City. She died in 1885.

Debby - as soon as I scrolled down, I immediately thought "the woman on the left." Her mouth and her eyes are so similar to the unidentified lady. Her eyebrows and nose are also a match. I bet if you ran facial recognition they would set bells off.
ReplyDeleteHer oval face and small mouth matches the 2nd photo almost exactly! This is my first visit to your stunning blog. Wow. Beautiful work.
