PARKER, GREGORY

I have recently found several old photos, some of them tintypes taken around the 1875-1900 time period. They came from the home of my GGgrandmother, Clarence Gregory Porter, and lived in Pleasant Shade. Her father was Elias Enoch (Tint) Gregory from Macon County. He was s/o John G. and Louisa Willis Gregory. John is s/o Ambrose, who is son of Bry. Elias' siblings are Thomas Idle, Wiley Clemons, Julia, and Ukley Gregory. Clarence's mother was Tabitha Parker, d/o Jesse and Celina Patterson Parker from Parker Branch, Cato. Some of these photos are of the Parker family: Thomas, John, Nancy, Mike, Caroline, Jake, Jesse Abe, Celina, Bob, Pole, and Sam. Many of these are unmarked but the box states "these are family members of Clarence Gregory Porter", which would be the Gregorys and Parkers. I am trying to locate anyone out there who might be a descendant of any of the above families and can help me identify some of these photos. They are scanned and can be emailed to anyone interested.
