Hi Joyce,
This is my mother's grandmother Jessie Mae Watkins (Shults).
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.

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.
