Title: Can you help me identify the brother?
Post by: CuriousCollector on December 03, 2010, 08:31:21 AM

So, I have this photo, and on the back is written "JC Morton".  Unfortunately, Lemuel Morton (the man in the drawing in the other post I wrote) had TWO JC Morton sons.  James Calloway was born in 1836, and Julius Caesar was born in 1859.  Any idea which JC this would be?  With 20 years' difference, I hope the clothing or photo style will tell us something!

Take off the goatee and the guy looks to be about 40?  So 1876 or 1899 for the two men.  I am guessing 1876 and James Calloway judging by the goatee style and length.  This site gives some hints and examples http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/photos/fashions-photos.shtml
