I'm not descended directly from that branch but can give more info which might help a descendant identify the pictures.

The Andrew Deeds in the picture is Andrew Deeds 3rd, born 1851, and Inez Slack was his wife. They had three children: Alvah, Cora, and Ralph. I do not have a marriage date, or birth dates for the children.

Andrew Deeds III was the son of Andrew Deeds Jr. and his wife Lydia Stoolfire (daughter of Charles Stoolfire and Elizabeth Troniker Stoolfire). (Andrew III was the younger brother of my ggg grandmother Lucinda Deeds.) Andrew Deeds Jr. was the son of Jacob and Ann Deeds of Greene Co. PA; Jacob Deeds was the son of Andrew Deeds Sr. of Washington Co. PA.

The picture of Alvah and Hattie Deeds: Alvah was the son of Andrew Deeds III and Inez Slack Deeds. Hattie's maiden name was Fowler. They had at least one son, named (surprise!) Andrew Deeds.

The third picture is a mother-daughter picture. As an adult, Cora married Clifford Case. I don't have any children's names, although back in about 1930, my great-aunt married a Case from Licking Co. OH, who may have been a descendant.

Ralph Deeds, who is evidently not pictured, married Ada White, and had at least three daughters, Ruth Eileen, Eleanor, and Elizabeth.

Much of this info was from a local county history book on Licking County Ohio, published in the late 1890s. Hopefully it will help the direct descendants identify their relationship to the pictures. If none of the direct descendants wants the pictures, I would be interested. Or you could scan them (high resolution JPEG if possible) and e-mail. I have seen pictures of Lucinda and would love to see a picture of her brother and his family. Thanks!
