This photo was found in Rochester, Monroe County NY. Does she have family in that upstate NY area? It is slightly trimmed on bottom edge to fit into photo albums. Eunice would have been born in the early 19th or possibly even the late 18th century. A beautiful piece. Do you know this Allen / Kennedy / Kenedy family? We believe Kennedy is simply misspelled by the writer.

      Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
