William & his wife Lettie (also English, born in England) worked as "Glovers" or "Glove Cutters" in Gloversville, Fulton County, New York. This town was once the hub of America's glovemaking industry, with over 200+ manufacturers in Gloversville and the adjacent city of Johnstown. This is a very clear close up image of William, who we also found listed as William D. Chetwynd in other census records. It was found in the Hudson Valley of New York in Albany County. We also found the British spelling of this surname as Chetwyn, as seen above in 1900 US census. A beautiful piece.

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)
