This photo is believed to be of a young Russell Godbey and his wife and
child (compare to a known photo of Russell at left). The photo label is
not reliable: Nancy Dickerson Godbey, the first-born of Russell and
Elizabeth, was born in 1823, but photography was not invented until the
late 1830s. The child could be Russell and Elizabeth's last child, Mary
Jane, who was born in 1841. The clothing and hairstyles in the photo
are consistent with fashions in the 1840s.
