Note, while this photo appears to be from the 1800s (I am not an expert), WJC died in 1836; 1839 is "generally accepted as the birth year of practical photograph." The source on the 1839 date is Wikipedia (not the ultimate in authoritative sources), but the photo is probably not of someone who deceased before 1837. (Comment by Glenn Cornett, 5th great grandson of WJC, via Archibald, Hiram, Larkin, Elijah, Marion and James.)
