William Halliday, 1797

This is a photo of William Halliday that I took of a painting that is in the possession of the Sykes Family in Chicago, IL. No one is sure who this this man is. On the back it is written: William Halliday 1797. We do have Halliday in our family.

My Grandfather, Aubrey Luse Sykes, was married to Anna Ruth Swallow, daughter of Thomas Swallow b. 1844 & Anna Halliday b. 1858. Anna's father's name was William Halliday b. unknown. Maybe this is his grandfather. The time frame would work...

If anyone knows who this man is please message me.
