This tintype I suspect is from around 1870-1885. My grandmother’s family came from the Tennessee area so I think this man could be from that area, otherwise I have no idea. He could be a great great grandfather, so please help me identify this photo.
Date & Place: at Unknown in Tennessee United States

I’m trying to finish my Dads book on the family while he can see it. He is 98.6.
My Wilsons are descended from the Norse Wulfings Clan: son of Wolf. Beowulf was composed at our clan home. At the end of the Viking Age, we went to Scotland and mainly to Ireland. William sailed here on the James and Mary, and the family moved through the Carolinas, Kentucky, Arkansas, and settled in Indian Territory. Somewhere along the way we picked up considerable Lenape Indian DNA. Our family book is : Those Wilsons on the Rollin Fork.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
