After a busy week I just had to take a moment to share a wonderful photograph that recently was shared with me. Wednesday I was fortunate to have dinner and swap family stories with my second cousin, Suzanne. She and I met through Ancestry and then we began to share photographs as they came into our possession. Through her thoughtfulness I finally got to see the faces of my paternal great grandparents. When she shared this copy of an old tintype photo of my 4th great-grandmother, Naomi Williams Coxwell, I was thrilled. She was born in 1804 in South Carolina and died in 1889 in Walker County, Georgia. I noticed a few details immediately upon getting this photograph. What do you see?

Something interesting about the hands. They seem to be very unsymmetrical. Would love to know more!

Yes! And for some reason she has a glove on one hand, but not the other. Rather unusual I would say!

Wow Jen! What I wouldn’t give to have a pic like that! Very cool!
Your 4x g-grandmother looks like she was a hard working woman. I wonder if her hand was injured in an accident or something like that.
What a treasure!
