He is Nathaniel Burdine Wilson (b. 1795, d. 1875; husb. of no. 2, Jane Jones)

She is Jane "Jennie" (nee Jones) Wilson (DOB unk. but prob. ca. 1795-1800; first wife of no.1, Nathaniel Burdine Wilson, and mother of all his children.

She may have died ca. 21 Jul 1850--see her pastor's diary entry for that date.)

Photographer: "J. W. Cleary, Selma AL"

There appears to be a growth on the lower eyelid of her right eye (or perhaps this is a flaw in the photo).  At first glance, this growth looks like it is the pupil of the eye, making her look somewhat strange, as if her left eye were looking up and the other down.  Enlarging the photo makes it clear that this is not the case--both eyes are normal.  One can even see this in the current size of the photo if one looks first at her left eye then looks at the right, expecting it to look the same.

Marion would be Nathaniel Marion Wilson (b. 1837, 10th child of Nos. 1 & 2).  There were several pictures of this person in the album; this (left, bottom) is one of them.

The person standing, then, had to be Mary J. Wilson, but I could not figure out just who this person was.

Aha! I have found an M. J. Wilson (b. ca. 1849) and her mother Sarah Jane (Cole) Wilson as the respective eldest daughter and wife of Ezekiel Monroe Wilson!

I now believe these two ladies to indeed be Ezekiel M. Wilson's wife (06) and their eldest daughter (07).

She would be Rosann Carlisle Jones Wilson Gwin (b. 1822, 4th child of  Nos. 1 & 2, wife of Wm. Gwin)--see also number 20 below.

We believe this to be William Bramwell Wilson, (b. 1827, 6th child of Nos. 1 & 2).

Since she appears on the page opposite I. G. Wilson, we assume this is that wife.

A Richard Shields was the 1808 neighbor in Sevier Co., TN, of Isham Gwin, the father of John Gwin.  John married Jane Walker in 1812, and they were living in Dallas Co., AL, by 1816.  Perhaps Richard or one of his sons also moved to AL, in which case this Simon could be a descendant.

In 1880, Minnie Givhan, age 12, b. in AL, was living in Gainesville, Hall Co., GA, in the home of her uncle and aunt, James C. S. Timberlake,  and Mattie H. Timberlake, 30, b. AL (parents both b. in SC). 

Carole Rackley found Minnie in 1870: "According to the 1870 census records for Athens, [Dallas County] Alabama, Minnie was the only child of Dr. Joseph Philip Givhan and Mary Holmes Givhan. Minnie was born in 1868." (This could mean that the album's owner, Martha Roseanne Gwin "Guinn" Holley Lester, likely knew these Givhans not only in Perry County but in the Town of Athens, Dallas Co., as well!)

18--Isom Gwin, b. ca. 1816, son of nos. 3 & 4, John and Jane Gwin; m. Mary Burdine Wilson (sister of Wm.'s wife Roe, 1st child of nos. 1&2)-- d. 7 Dec 1853.

The picture to the right is from a stack of loose, framed photos Barbara received with the album.  I believe it may also be of William Gwin but at a younger age.  According to a book Barbara sent me, Guide to Dating Old Family Photographs by Judith A. Walters, the frame it is in is of early 1850's vintage, which would make William's age in the photo in his early 30's.

Photo was taken by "J. W. Clary & Co., Photographers, Broad Street, Selma, Ala."

Photo was taken by Barnes, Photographer, No. 87 Dauphin St., Mobile, Ala.

"...This morning I went searching for info on the Ramsey's that were listed in the album. In the 1850 census for Dallas Co.:

W.A.D. Ramsey age 29 b. Al
S.L.      Ramsey age 24 b. Al

Could be Wm. and Sallie; the ages would be right. They didn't look very old when the pictures were taken; probably in the 1860 and 70's. BARB"

She could also be the wife of one of the brothers of I. G. Wilson, perhaps even one for whom the below-pictured Nettie D. Wilson was named; however, it seems highly unlikely to me that I. G. Wilson would be posing with one of his sisters-in-law.

Why is she pictured here instead of with her husband on page 4B?  Perhaps this album was assembled after Lizzie's death in Jan 1882, and her grieving mother, Roe, chose to have the photo placed beside her instead.  Indeed, Roe appears across the page (15A) dressed in black as if in grief.

In October 2004, Katherine Hill wrote:

I wondered if this could be James H. Vaughan; he was a son of Fielding Vaughan and married "my cousin" Caroline Bell in 1856. My Milhous ancestors attended the wedding...they only referred to the man as Mr. Vaughan, son of.....
I think, but I am not certain, that this Mr. Vaughan died in 1870 and is buried at Pleasant Hill Presby. Church.

I ran a search for "Charlotte Cureton" (all states) in the 1880 census and found only one who is white:

Name: Charlotte CURETON
Age: 63
Estimated birth year: <1817>
Birthplace: Alabama
Occupation: Keeps House
Relation: Wife
Home in 1880: Marion, Perry, Alabama
Marital status: Married
Race: White
Gender: Female

She could be wife of one of the Wilson boys, i.e., sons of nos. 1 & 2, the wives for whom have not yet been identified: John Jones Wilson, William Bramwell Wilson, James Washington Wilson, Samuel Rutherford Wilson, or Nathaniel Marion Wilson.

She also (and this makes more sense to me) could be Anna Turner who married King Gwin, and the recorder of this index did not know her maiden name was not Wilson but Turner. This makes sense for several reasons: first, the owner of the album placed husbands and wives on the same pages in numerous cases, and Anna and King were on the same page; second, Will and Roe (King's parents) may have found it somewhat embarrassing that their son was marrying his first cousin and may have circulated the story that she was a Wilson to hide her real maiden name, Turner.

Hers is the grave I found this summer (July 2003) in the cemetery of the old Episcopal church that was moved from Cahaba to just south of Orrville, both towns in Dallas Co., AL.

Barbara found these three pages between the relatively "known" photos on pages 24 and 28 with no apparent index entries.  The six photos  on 25, 26, and 27, then, were listed simply as unknown.

But looking carefully at the six photos, comparing them to the only known photo of Martha Gwin Holley to exist, it appears to me that the younger female at 27B looks the most like the older Martha on Isom's and Mary's page.

By the way, what looks like a possible bald spot in the front of 26B's scalp is clearly hair when the picture is enlarged. Whether it's dyed or naturally a lighter color, I don't know.

See #66 and 70 below.

For several reasons, I'm convinced that these two pictures are of the same person: 
(1) the album index of the first and the writing in the border of the second identify them as such; 
(2) the cheekbones, nose, eye shape and color, and eybrows all seem to match, and 
(3) --what I thought were flaws in the picture until I saw both pictures together--a birthmark is present in both directly above the right end of the right eye and about halfway up the forehead, and a second is visible in both (moreso in the later photo) directly above the left end of the right eyebrow and slightly lower than the first birthmark.
 

I found a letter written in 1890 from a John S. Timberlake to this same J. C. S. Timberlake, then living in Monticello, Florida.  It can be read on this website or at the good site from which it is quoted: http://www.castlen.homestead.com/Letters.html

But the 1880 census of Severe, Perry Co., AL, lists a Sallie L. Massey, age 14, living in the home of William A. Cook. The young lady in the photo appears to be in her mid teens

Sure enough, the 1880 Census gives the following listing:

Name: Aramintae CURETON
Age: 24

Occupation: At Home

Home in 1880: Marion, Perry, Alabama

John Jones Wilson, 
William Bramwell Wilson, 
James Washington Wilson, 
Samuel Rutherford Wilson, 
Nathaniel Marion Wilson.

However, in my opinion it would more likely have been the grandson of this John Gwin, John Wesley Gwin (b. 15 Mar 1851; d. 29 Aug.1877, age 26), since (1) JWG's picture/name appears nowhere else in the album/index, and (2) Sutton's and King's (JWG's brothers') pictures are here, likely taken in their teens, and John Wesley's age being between theirs would've made him a teen, too, living at home, if all the pictures were taken at the same time. So I believed we were looking for a teenager's picture at this slot. Sure enough, when I finally saw the picture, it became clear that this was/is John Wesley Gwin, who would soon become John Wesley Gwin, M.D.

However, in my opinion it is more likely Isham Griffin Gwin, Sr.--7th child of Will and Roe--(b. 25 Sep 1858; d. 21 Dec 1919; bd. Wilsonville Cem., Shelby Co., AL; m. 1881 to Mary Etta (Molly) Self; {1858-1940}), since (1) I.G.G.'s picture/name appears nowhere else in the album/index, and (2) Sutton's and King's pictures are here, likely taken in their teens, and Isham Griffin's age being younger than theirs would've made him an older child or young teen, living at home, if all the pictures were taken at the same time. So I believe we're looking for a picture of a child aged 10-13 at this slot.

Sure enough, the photos that Barb sent  that came to her on this page are the ones shown here, both older children or young teens.

Minnie, then, is William Sutton Gwin's (#49 above) double-second cousin; therefore, she is my (John Gwin's) double-second cousin thrice removed. 
And since she is half-sister to Mattie's son Smith Wyatt Lester by her second husband Bryant Brown Lester, then she is Barbara Ward's half-grandaunt.

But it gets thicker: Minnie and her mother, Mattie, married the Lester brothers, Thomas and Bryant, respectively, making Minnie the wife of her mother's brother-in-law and therefore her mother's own sister-in-law.  That means that Minnie's child is her own step first cousin.  And here's a cute one: Minnie is her own step-aunt!   :-)
