Who is Aunt Mae?

This photograph is a tin type, labeled only “Aunt Mae”.

Given that I think the photograph might have been labeled by Amanda H Davis (1861-1902), daughter of Emily Jane Melton (1835-1910) and William T Davis (1831-1863), stepdaughter of William T Olive (b 1838), of Fayette County, Alabama, that makes sisters and sisters-in-law of her parents good candidates.

Sisters of Emily Jane Melton:

• Mary H Melton m. William Threet Poe
• Louise H Melton m. Joseph B Barnett
• Helen E Melton
• Amelia Franklin Melton m. Frank M Black
• Martha Ellen Melton m. James Hillard Olive

Brothers of Emily Jane Melton, with their wives:

• Jefferson Melton
• Meedy White Melton m. Mary F Cannon
• William Melton
• Melton Melton
• Willis B Melton m. Flora Hastletine South

Sisters of William T Davis:

• Sarah E Davis m. M C Davis
• Martha Davis m. Joel Gibson
• Maranda Saphira Davis m. Thomas H Angle
• Matilda F Davis m. Green R Gibson
• Mary E Davis

Brothers of William T Davis, with their wives:

• John Minor Davis
• James M Davis
• Willis  Davis

Sisters of William T Olive:

• Sarah J Olive m. William J Campbell
• Mary E Olive m. Michael Richard Tierce
• Samantha Ann Olive m. Thomas Jefferson Davis
• Permelia F Olive m. Rufus H Davis
• Matilda Olive m. William E Kuykendall

Brothers of William T Olive, with their wives:

• Lewis J Olive
• James Hillard Olive m. Martha Ellen Melton
• Wyatt J Olive
• Robert C Olive
• Julus Olive
• John C Olive m. Neoma E Stocks
• Richard Monroe Olive m. Rosa Best

None of these people make an obvious “Aunt Mae”, but Mae could be a nickname, and many of the sisters-in-law are not yet identified.
