Hello,
I've bought 45 photos and the seller gave me copies of 4 portraits &
numerous negatives in the hopes that I might be able to give them to a family
member.
I'm hoping that someone here on the list might know of these families and
somehow be connected or might be able to help me find out more about them so
that I may continue to search for a living relative to give these to.
Here's what I know....
These originally were the belongings of Marie D. (Crandall) Palmer Brickey.

Henry's bios. they had 5 children,but so far have only named 2....
1)Susan (his mother)
2) William S. b. Dec.11,1836 Talbot Co.,MD.

fondest wishes to get these to a relative who will cherish them.Any help at
all is greatly welcome and appreciated!!
Thank you for your time and attention.
