People in photo include: Vancyil Verdine Vermillion
Hi, I do not have a direct connection to vermillion but know that my great great grandmother, Sarah Foyil, had a sister by the name of Annie Flanagan who married a Vermillion, possibly Hugh S. Vermillion. I think Sarah was a second wife for my great,great grandfather Robert S. Foyil....e
My grandmother's uncle, Joseph E. Unsell (b. 1864), from Pike Co., Missouri married a May Vermillion. My grandma, who died at age 104 in 1998, gave me a brooch that was painted by May Vermillion.
I would very much like to contact ejhensly. My great grandfather was Hugh Vermillion, and we know he married a woman named Nancy Ann Flanagan. That is all the information we have been able to uncover. It sounds like ejhenslys great great aunt may very well be the woman he married. If any one can help me with any of this, please let me know.

I have found information on the Vermillion family which states that every Vermillion in the United States are related, as the only person with that name to ever migrate to the United States came here during Colonial times and that was Giles Vermillion. My family says there were three brothers who came here, however there is no proof of this being the case, but there is a history with Giles. He was a Hugenot, and was only 13 when he came here as a bond servant, bonded to a fellow by the name of Green. This was in Maryland. Giles married a Hutchinson girl he had met when on a business trip with Mr. Green that was with her father, a wealthy land owner. Giles himself ended up well off himself. During the Revolution, Giles son voluntered his own services as well as his horses and wagons to Col. George Washington's war efforts against the British and then again when G. Washington became a general. Two separate inlistments. This part of their history is somewhat easy to research, it is Nancy Jane Smiths mother, father, and other relatives I'm having trouble finding a history on. The Smiths and the Jones familys; two of the most prolific families in the country, it's something else to try to do.
I should have added that there were four Texas Rangers who were Vermillions, this was back in the time of the Alamo, the Indian Wars and the Civil War era. There were Vermillions in the Tennessee Civil War Troups, Ninth Calvary I believe, they were from Texas but volunteered there thinking it would be best. The Blounts in Texas are sons of my Aunt Cassie Vermillion Blount. There's was James Blount, David Blount and Robert Blount. There is a Jeanette Blount, I have her last name here somewhere. My cousin Alan is living in Bonham Texas, he's a Vermillion and his daughter is into doing geneaology as well. My computer crashed and I lost her information. Good luck.
I know of a Joseph D. Vermillion who was with a handful of Texas Rangers out hunting for Santa Anna after the Alamo and Goliad, one of them stumbled across him, and took him back to their commanders. I belive he was my mothers great uncle. My grandfather a another Texas Ranger was James Harvey Vermillion. He married Nancy Jane Smith in Altoga (I believe that's where they were married). His brother Marvel was a farmer and mayor. One of the other brothers was a jeweler besides being a Texas Ranger. There is a huge extended family. My mother Eula Maude Vermillion was one of ten brothers and sisters. She married William McGrady Winkler of Bonham, Texas. All of my mothers immediate family lived there. Her mother was Minnie May Hinton from Chicago, another impossible person to try to search out information on. I don't even know if there were any brothers or sisters in her family, (the Hinton's).
My name is Isabelle Quivaux from France and I am searching relatives of Rene M Vermillion born in France in 1928 (seems to be dead in 1992), and adopted by M. Burke S. Vermillion in January.,
If I'm looking for that it is because my mother in law (82 years old), discovered that her father has a son Rene, from a first marriage. She would then like to know more about a familly she could have in the Us.
People didn't seem to smile in the photos as much in that time period. I don't think they were unhappy, Having professional photos taken was a big deal and I suppose it was all about getting the right pose in a timely manner.Just my opinion anyway.Does anyone else have any ideas on why the children aren't smiling.
I guess it is easy to overlook how much has changed when it comes to taking a photograph especially when we live in a time when we have so much technology
Part of it was about the current interpretation of dignity--smiling in general wasn't as prevalent. There was more of an association with grinning strangers as dishonest and on the make, as wanting something, selling something, etc. Socially it was considered a little pushy, especially if you hadn't been introduced to people. It also suggested superficiality (maybe a holdover from an idea that the simple-minded grinned happily all day). Look at coins, statues, portraits. And second, the camera speed, as people have said.
Gina thank you for your very informative answer.That makes a lot of sense when you added in the attitudes and perceptions of people ina different time period.I hope others like your reply as much as I did.
"A photograph is a most important document and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever." - Mark Twain
I love AncientFaces, but this has to be the most unsettling photo that has ever been posted on this page.
It just screams : "I never knew Stepmama had so much blood in her. Look what she's done to the carpet!"
Portrait photographs and paintings of our loved ones and ancestors.
Before photos we had paintings of family members - most usually these were reserved for the well off. The era of modern photography began with the daguerreotype, in 1839. Since the advent of photogr...
I am related to the Vermillion and Winkler familes. I have found quite a bit about the Vermillions and have found a little bit about the Winklers, not there are brick walls in searching for each and all of these relatives history. I lived in Wilmington California when my father worked in the shipyards when I was very little, we then moved to Hermosa Beach, California where I grew up. I have tried to find old friends from Wilmington, like Phylis McFadden, Lynn Austin and Arlene Wearing(Homes-married name, who were my junior high friends, and not knowing their married names or where they're now living, they are lost to me as well. Any news of them would also be appreciated.
