I was browing through old papers I had collected from you all and elsewhere
from the past and I came upon a bad Xerox copy of an old photo which
contained Carmack family members of the Cornelius Carmack - Ingabo Gore
family. It was taken before 1879 the year of Ingabo's death because she is
in the picture. Some identified individuals in the picture are John Short
and wife, Elizabeth Caroline Carmack Short (Dau of Ingabo & Cornelius),
Lettice Ann Carmack Nelson (daughter of Ingabo & Cornelius), Lineura
Rodgers (Dau of Ingabo & Cornelius and...there are Five other men in the
picture and 3 additional women that are unidentified. The note states that
it is presumed that these are other sons and daughters or in'laws. It
also notes that
the ORIGINAL of this picture is the property of Mary Elizabeth
Abbott-Butterfield, (whoever that may be). Since they were from the
McDonough County, IL area, I assume it would be someone in that family group.
If anyone has this photo of 6 men standing behind 7 seated women with
Ingabo Gore Carmack in the center, I would surely love to have a decent
copy of it. Can u help?
Thanks, Ya'll keep digging out there.....and I'm always looking for new
connections to my GG Grandpappy, John Wesley Carmack and Susanna Carr
Carmack !!
Love to all,
