tin type photo of Ben Pedigo

This is a copy of an old tin type that was made around 1875 of my greatgrandfather on my mothers side of the
family. He died in 1925 in Barren Co. Ky.
The story states Ben Pedigo was walking down the road and met the man taking tin type pictures.
He made a picture of Ben and as far as we know this is the only picture of him. He appears to be in his early 20s.

Date & Place: 1875 at Ben Pedigo in Monroe Co., Ky. U.S.A
