From Mike Scroggie: Recently, a relative made
available to me an old photo album of Mary Jane (Scroggie) Duncanson,
who also later married William S. Orr. Mary was the daughter of
Andrew Scroggie and Grace Tasker, early Jones Co. settlers. The album
contains about 40 photos of people thought to be in the Scroggie and
Tasker families in Jones County, IA as well as Scotland.
Unfortunately, most of the photos are unlabeled, and we are trying to
identify the subjects. Some were taken at several studios in Jones
Co. and some in Aberdeen and Edinburgh Scotland. Below I have
attached several photos known to be taken in Jones. Co. Most are tin
or "carte de visite" photos. Perhaps someone will
recognize and help identify the people in the photos. |
