Date this US photo of William Sutton
« on: Thursday 01 January 26 21:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi all.

I'm wondering if anyone can date this photo? I obviously have a name of who is in the photo but I have two men - a father and son - with the same name and I don't know which of them is in this photo. It was taken in North Carolina, USA.

The first William M. Sutton lived from 1867-1930.
His son, William M. Sutton, lived from 1892-1941.

Can anyone advise?

Neither.
This is an 1860's Ambrotype & the man looks in his 20's.

I agree with Jim.

Looks more like 1860.

I have two very similar images of my GG GP’s which are dated to 1855-1860.

Oh interesting! Ok. So the elder William M Sutton I mentioned - his father was also called William M Sutton so this must be him! He lived from 1837-1884!
