Taken in San Antonio

This photograph, a cabinet card, was taken in San Antonio, Texas, by D. P. Barr according to the photographer’s markings.

While following “shaking leaf” hints on ancestry.com, I found another copy of the photograph attached to a member tree.  The date was noted as 1887.

The people in the photograph are:

[(adults) Jessie Mercer Alldredge, Margaret Melvina Melton Alldredge (children, oldest to youngest) Oscar Alldredge, John Mills Alldredge, Lillian Alldredge)]

I contacted the person who had uploaded the photograph to her Ancestry Member Tree and made a connection to a distant cousin.

Margaret Melvina Melton Alldredge was a first cousin of Amanda H Davis Edmonds, the “original” owner of this photograph.
