Gracie Ford needs your assistance in identifying the folks in the photos below.

"I have two old photos taken in Ellis County, that I cannot Identify.  I would like to find the connection to my own Coleman's. These people are related to the Coleman Family but we do not know how."

Background on Gracie's Coleman family:

"My branch of the family has lived in Adair County, Oklahoma since the early 1890's (then Indian Territory). They came by wagon train from Gilmer County, Georgia.  Maybe some continued to Texas.  James Taylor Coleman b. 1857 in North Carolina to Alfred B. Coleman and Nancy Taylor married Nancy Jane Orr b. 1847.   Nancy was the daughter of James and Parthenia Orr of Gilmer County, Georgia.  Sometime soon after 1890 James Taylor and Nancy brought their family to Indian Territory (now Adair County, Oklahoma).  They came by wagon train, with about 100 other families.  Some of the other families included, Worley, Vick, Sitton, and Brannon.  That is how we came to be in Oklahoma.  I believe that another branch of the Coleman family continued on to Texas."

 

"I asked to have have them taken together

This is Pairy Gray your
cousin and Jim
Church a young man
that picked coton here
last fall."

 

"this is Walter and Nora Colman your cousin"
