Description: Beautiful young identified captain's child. The piece of paper identifying this child was found behind the image. I acquired this item around twenty years ago at an antique shop in Trevose, Bucks County. Daguerreotype or ambrotype and I have not done any genealogical research on the family's history. Perhaps the girl's father, John Kelly, was in the Civil War?
More research may answer that question. Is is an unusual image that is worthy of both research and preservation. The case the image is in is missing one half, as it only contains the back part with the latch (no front part).
