Tintype trio
I was unable to make the photo more clear. Someone had scratched through the man's face, there is a woman in this photo but you can barely tell as her face has been rubbed off. Back says, Uncle Woody, Georgette Marie Holmes and young boy, Perry Ringwood. We believe Perry to be one of the son's of Arthur Ringwood and his wife Catherine. Both killed in an accident. Catherine died in her husbands arms.

Tintype Child
This is a tintype of my great grandmother, Mary Genevieve Ringwood when she was about 6 years old, maybe younger. We are in the process of trying to connect to her Ringwood family. Born in 1876, she lived until 1963.

Riflewomen
By all appearances, this photo may have been taken toward the end of or right after the Civil War. Since the relative among whose things it was found was raised in Virginia on or near Lee's Plantation, the women may be part of, or even the co-founders of the Sisters Of The Confederacy. I need to find out if anyone recognizes this group or knows who the women are. There was nothing written on it, it is not in my possession. My aunt Sallie Marie Zahn has it. I photo'd it with my digital. It was in Gr-Aunt Lillian's things, she married a Davis. (Davis, Lee Or Zahn)
