Delays

I have not posted much recently due to computer problems. All my genealogy information and pictures are no longer on my computer and I am still trying to adjust. I hope that I will get reorganized soon so I can continue to share about my family.

Unknowns Part 18

This is another picture from Rhodees Lane's photo album. My father identified the woman as Nell Campbell Biglow. If you know these people please help me identify them! If you want to see a larger picture just click on the image.

Unknowns Part 17 (Updated!)

This is another unknown person from the photo album that belonged to my grandmother, Rhodees Lane. As always I would love to have these unknowns identified. If you can help me please contact me or leave a comment!

(This photo has been identified as Henrietta Meggs Lane by her daughter)

Bivens Family

I have this picture that has several of the Bivens brothers. I was told that my grandfather, Mose Bivens, is the second from the back and his father, Phillip Marion Bivens, is the fourth from the back. Those are the ones I know for certain. I have guesses on the three other boys, but I would love any help in positively identifying these family members. If I had to guess I would say the order is Henry Bivens, Mose Bivens, Charlie Bivens, Phillip Marion Bivens Sr., and Grover Bivens. I was told that the others in front were maybe a wife to one of the brothers and possible children.

Unknowns Part 16

This little girl is in several pictures in the photo album that belonged to Joe Price. I am not sure who she is, but she does seem to favor several of our family members. These pictures were taken in Atlantic City, NJ probably between 1900-1915.

Unknowns Part 15 (Updated!)

This is another picture from the album of my grandmother, Rhodees Lane. The woman on the right looks similar to Lois McKay. I am not sure who they are and would love it someone could tell me who they are.

(Update - 30 Jul 2012. My cousin, Barbara, told me that this is her mother, Connie Person Lane, on the right, and her aunt, Frances Mushlitt who is on the left. This was possibly taken on Connie's wedding day.)

Historian

My husband tends to make fun of my Lane family reunions. They are as organized as a Baptist Church business meeting! We have officers and a small business meeting at each reunion. This year after the reunion my cousin opened a Pandora's box for me. He gave me the two family scrapbooks and asked me to update them! There are pictures of my great-grandparents and most of their children and respective spouses. Included are some history of the family, pictures of reunions past, and updates on family members. So I am preparing to update these and I hope I can do a good job. I might post pictures of some of my progress.

Unknown Part 14

This is a picture that was taken in the yard at James Wesley Orr's house in Jonesville, VA. It was taken at the same time as a picture of James I have. I am not sure when they were taken. It does seem like the man in the middle is my great-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Orr, though I am not sure. I am not sure who the children are. If you can help me identify them I would be thrilled!

The Orr's Jonesville House

This is a picture that I took several years ago when I traveled to Jonesville, Virginia. This is the area where my Orr family lived for many years. The house is one that my great-great-grandfather, James Wesley Orr, built after the Civil War. The family sold the house in the early 1940's. As far as I know it is still standing.

Mysterious Jenkins Family

My great-grandmother, Martha Jane (Jenkins) Bivens creates a huge brick wall for our family. As far as I have heard from most relatives no one knows anything about who her parents were or pretty much anything about the family. I would LOVE any help in learning more about her family! Here is the link to my earlier post about Martha and her husband, Phillip Marion Bivens, and their children (link).

Phillip Marion Bivens, Carra Bivens, and Martha Jane (Jenkins) Bivens

The Jennings

This is Marian French Jennings and her husband. The back of the picture stated it was at their house Christmas of 1947. Marian was the daughter of William and Emilie (Ott) French. She was one of thirteen children (that I know of).

Loss Of A Loved One

Today my uncle Allen went home.
Please pray for my family during our time of loss.

This is Allen with his sister, Dorothy.

Unknown Part 13

This is a picture from the Joe Price album. I am not sure who these people are. There are a few other pictures where Joe is with the young man and lady on the top step.

Thomas Siblings

This is Ann Thomas Richards with her brother, Benjamin Thomas.
This picture is taken in front of William Richards home
in Oliver Springs, Tennessee

Unknowns Part 12

This picture has Joseph (Joe) Price and two unknown ladies. There are a few other pictures which include these women.

Unknowns Part 11

In this picture there are three women. Right to left are Mary Price, Annie Price and unknown. I am not sure what the deal is with the flower that Mary has. Below is another picture with Annie Price and a lady I was told is Mary Post. Mary Post has the same flower. Does anyone know what this meant or was for?

Sheltons

This picture is of the Shelton and Orr families. Mary Richards Shelton is the aunt of my great-grandmother, Mary Price Orr. From left to right the people are: unknown man, Mary Price Orr, Benjamin Orr, Mary Richards Shelton, Ann Shelton, Asa Shelton. The two young boys are Price and James Orr. The unknown man does favor the sons of Asa and Mary Shelton and could possibly be either William or Joseph.

Richards Family

From Left to right: Bill W. holding Price Orr, unknown, unknown, Mary Price Orr, Benjamin Orr (behind Mary), Price Orr held by William Richards, Ann Shelton, Ann Thomas Richards, Mary Richards Shelton, Annie Richards Price, unknown and Benjamin Thomas. Two girls in front are Mary Richards (dau. of William Richards) and Georgie Orr.

The unknown women might be Margaret Williams Richards, Margaret Richards and Ann Richards (wife and daughters of William Richards). I also am not sure who the Bill W. is.

Unknowns Part 10

I was fortunate enough to have a cousin of mine send me some pictures of our family. One among them was this picture. I know two of the three people. On the left is Mary Price Orr, next is Marie Price (the unknown), then James Orr on the right. I do not know who Marie Price is, so I would like any help identifying her!

Unknowns Part 9

Originally I thought this might be from one of the Lane family reunions, but now I think it might be the Campbell family. The man to the far left looks like Lee Campbell, the woman beside him is my great-grandmother, Roma Campbell Lane. At the end of the table (on the left corner) is my grandmother, Rhodees Lane Orr, holding my father, in the black dress beside her is Mary Price Orr (who is my great-grandmother), then it looks like my grandfather Price Orr or his twin brother James. Behind Mary Orr is, I believe, George and Lois (McKay) Watson. If you can confirm these people or name the others please share!
