Dear JB,

The clothing style dates back to the late 1850's but this gentlemen could have worn his best suit for years as he is an older gentlemen. Do you have time periods for your 2nd ggrandfather and 3rd grandfather? I would guess that this gentlemen is at least in his late 40's and possibly 50's.

Sincerely,

Family members think this is my 3RD GGF. I think it may be my 2ND GGF. I am hoping someone may have an opinion as to:

1) the age of Pete Fine
and
2) an approximate age for the photo itself.

Thank you again Laressa!

I was hoping is was prior to 1860. Thanks for your help!

I hope I can return the favor someday.

Nancy,

I could not find anyone with bangs before 1873 in all of my books and this woman's hairstyle was very popular from abt 1873 to 1876. Prior to 1860, all of the hairstyle I saw had the hair brushed over the ears or ringlets in front of the ears for very young women. It is hard to tell from the photo exactly what her dress was like.

Thanks Laressa!!!!

At least it gives me some lead on ID of these ladies!!
Just in case others may see this, I think they could be some of Thomas Winters Terry and Susan Akers daughter. They were living in Montgomery Co., VA and moved to Montgomery Co., Indiana after 1873. There are 11 daughters affilated with this family group.

Nancy,

I give talks of clothing styles and the hair with the bangs and the rest of the hair pulled back into a bun above the ears was a major fashion in the early 1880's and the standing collars with the white above the collar came in around 1880. The girl in the middle back with the unusual collar was the fashion in the late 1870's. By 1883 the bustle came back into fashion and it doesn't look like these women have the bustle although between 1880 an 1883 there was generally some padding to make the skirt fuller in the back. I would estimate that this picture was taken in the early 1880's probably before 1883 or 1884.
