These Photographs were found in the belongings of various different Tippah County ancestors. We are seeking the names of the people in the pictures. If you can help, send an email to the owner. If you have a picture you would like to add to this page please send me an email and attach the picture in jpeg file format.
This picture was
among the possessions of my aunt, Connie Estelle Hill Aldridge.
She
was born 1905 and died 1973. Her parents were David Daniel Hill and
Sallie
Eliza Gunter Hill. Her husband was Willie A. Aldridge. Other
surnames
in her ancestry were Kinney and Goolsby. These families all
arrived
in Tippah before 1850 and died there. Her daughter, age approx.
75,
gave the picture to me. She has no idea who it might be.
The
daughter married a Nance. Mr. Nance tells me that he does not
recognize
the photo as part of his family. Who is he?
Thanks,

Response: I believe the man in the photo is James
William Callicut married to Cornelia. John Harrington

Around 1840 John and Susan Murry/Murray
and children moved to DeSoto Co.,MS. Eventually different family
members also lived in Tippah, Pontotoc, and Benton Counties.
These
pictures, and others, are in a box that my mother had labeled
"Murry's".
However, there is only one of the pictures that we have been able to
identify
and that is a Willis Johnson Murry. His parents were Hardy P.
Murry/Murray
and Sarah Margaret Tucker.
Other children of John and Susan Murry
were William W., Hayden T., Marshall Howell and Martha(?).
I would love to learn the names of
these
2 people, and eventually identify the other photos as well.
Thanks,

 Found this photo in an album but we can't firgure out who she is on the back of the photo it says Wesley Carter Studio Of Art Ripley Mississippi |
 This could be John J. Howard and spouse, but not sure. We are hoping that someone can confirm this if not tell us who these people are. |
We found this picture in my father's pictures. They are from the
Tippah
Co., Benton Co. area. I have been told by a close relative that they
may
be of some Duncans and Jones of Tippah Co. I'm guessing they are late
1800's
or very early 1900's.
If anyone knows anything about this picture
please
contact me at gvc5017@comcast.net

This photo belongs to descendents of James S. Carter, 1837-1903,
of Tippah
County and noone has been able to identify who the gentleman
is.
This photo was sent in by Jackie
L. Carter.
This picture was found among the possessions of my mother-in-law
Hilda Harrington Luna. There is no name to identify the
gentleman
nor the date of the photograph. Is this gentleman a Harrington,
Callicutt,
or Luna? No one in the family can
give me a name. I would appreciate anyone's help in identifying
my husband's relative.
