#387:

On reverse: "Mrs. Barker Crandall" is handwritten in pencil. Photo Type: Original vintage Victorian Cabinet Card Photograph. Photographer: Blessing, Salamanca, Cattaraugus County, New York. (known to be photographer John H. Blessing, John Blessing) 

We found evidence in public records of a Martha Barker Crandall, who was related to Revolutionary War hero, Captain Consider Law and his Descendants. She is listed as a descendant of Martha Law Eastman Comstock (wife of Luther Eastman and William Comstock) of the Oneida, NY area. This would point to DAR Daughters of the American Revolution and SAR ties. A beautiful piece, found in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. 

Size: 4.5 by 7 inches
      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)
