Who is this?
John Paul sent me this tintype years ago. He thought it to be Jessee Waggoner, his great grandfather, and father of Charles Lafayette Waggoner, Granny’s (Sallie’s) mother. But Jessee died in 1854, at least a year before tin types were being used. It certainly could be of his other great -grandfather, Ishom Jessie Walker, who died in 1898. But could also be Charles Lafayette Waggoner, Jessee Waggoners son. There is some writing on the back. I have scanned and played around with tones and colors trying to decipher what it says, but can’t make heads nor tails of it. I have no other pictures that might of Charles Lafayette Waggoner, CHarles was married twice, first to Elizabeth Martha Spencer. I have written decendants of chilren from this first marriage hoping that maybe some of them might have a photograph of him, but no luck yet.
