The photo is a copy that I scanned into my computer so I don't have any photographer info on it. The photo would have been taken about 1891. Thanks for keeping such a great site. Andrea Allison

Sorry, I guess I wasn't thinking about what info you would need. Jessie is the daughter of Avilla Watkins and I believe Polly Cox from Monroeton, Bradford County - Pa. I've also seen ( foot of Plane off rt.21 in 1900 Monroe Township directory of Bradford County, Pa. ) She was married to an unknown Northrup and had a child Ruby with him and later married Henry H. Shults my great grandfather who was a section hand at the Barclay RR in 1900. At this time the couple and several of their children lived with Jessie's parents. I'm also including a snapshot of Henry when he was older. He was from the same area but the photo was taken at my grandparents place in Bath, NY. All the others in the photo are unknown to me. Henry is the son if Godfrey H. Shults and I believe Arrilla Northrup. He also has a twin brother Fred.

Hi Joyce,
I just received these photos today from my aunt.
Unfortunately they were small photos arranged on a page and copied for her from
a cousin. We do not know exactly who the people are in the photos but they
were kept in Jessie Mae Watkins Shults bible. So I would guess they are
some of her children and grandchildren. I'm forwarding them along because
my aunt was also given a photocopy of the backs of the photos. Bottom left
says copyrighted 1889. The family was located in Bradford county, usually
around Monroeton, Powell, Towanda & Wysox. I hope these will be helpful.
My family seems to be so small and hard to locate I was hoping by submitting
some of this info that I'm currently collecting that I will eventually run into
some other long lost part of the family. My mother, 3 siblings and 1
cousin are all that are left of the direct family and they know so little.
As I am currently stuck with dial up sevice I can't send
many files in an email but I have a couple of pages from Jessie's bible as well.
I'll send them in a seperate email.
