Photo of him with Jennie De Neale was found and posted on her FAG memorial #117773465. On the back of the photo is states "Jennie De Neale and Capt. Halliday". It is suspected that this Capt. William Halliday is the one in the photo with her.

Virginia/Jennie (De Neale) Gorin was born 1845 in Kentucky, was widowed circa 1871, and died 1907 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. At Jennie's memorial it is the top photo.
