Nathan And Mary

Roma, a 3rd cousin of my Dad, who shares the same 2x great-grandparents, Mark Heathcoat and Alice Jones, very generously shared some pictures with me.  Below is one of those pictures. 

The two adults seated in front are my 2x great-grandparents, Nathan Hethcot and Mary Jane Harper. This picture was taken about 1885, which means that my great-grandmother, Emma, in the back left, is likely about 13 or 14 years old. 

Roma’s comments and credit on the photo: “Parents are Nathan and Mary Harper Hethcote, standing from left, Emma, Timothy Milton, Benjamin Franklin, Sarah, boy sitting is Henry Harrison, girl is Esther. Alice Belle and James Madison are not in photo. According to Alice Hampton 2008.”

As you'd expect with a photo nearly 140 years old, there were some scratches and dust but I cleaned it up some with Photoshop.
