I have this family in the database. Salmon data from "History of Trumbull
Co.OH. His son Salmon's data came from <mroth(a)bigbear.com>. Hope
that is still a good url. No this is not my line.

I and another member just received an interesting post....so here is
what it said:
"I hope you will excuse the intrusion, but while looking through some
offerings of early photographs on Ebay I noticed a stunning
dagguerreotype of an elderly man identified (according to an old
pencilled label inside the photo) as Salmon Case. I'm a firm
believer that identified photos should be in the hands of family members
or descendants, so I wanted to bring this image to your
attention in case you or others are interested in purchasing it. I have
no financial interest whatsoever in this offering.
On some of your Case family genealogies, I see there is a
Salmon Case 163BA b.1797 d.1844 (1840?) F:Timothy M:Esther BROWN W:Mary
CADWELL
Based on the technical aspects of this daguerreotype and the shape of
the brass frame plate, I would estimate that it was taken
in the early to mid-1840s, so the date would be about right.
Here are the details:

Auction for this item ends on Oct-27-01 08:42:25 PDT .
Current bid is $125, but I would guess this one will go over $150.
Even if you aren't interested in buying, you can download the excellent
scan of the photo to distribute to interested
descendants. I'm attaching a jpg file of the image with this email.
I hope this is of interest to you,
Yrs,
