Due to my interest in Hunter, Greene County, New York State ancestry, I was notified by eBay of an auction of an orphan photo of a "Will BURTIS." See the photo and my posting at:

There seem to have been BURTIS' in Columbia County and Dutchess County of New York State, not to mention the New York City (New Amsterdam) area.

eBay: Will BURTIS photo, b abt 1846, New York, Greene County, Hunter or Jewett
I just noticed this auction on eBay. Seller is "afamilystore". Auction #250163612357. Auction text says:
"Cabinet photo of Will Burtis found at an auction in New York State with "Will Burtis" written on the back.
The majority of the other pictures were traceable to Jewett, Greene County, New York. William Burtis was on the 1860 and 1870 census in Greene County, but in Hunter, not Jewett. I am assuming that this picture is that Will Burtis, born in 1846. He was 14 in 1860 and 24 in 1870, seemingly married to Susan in 1870. He was a farm laborer on his father's farm. I couldn't find anyone else named Will Burtis who was from Greene County.
Picture is in very good condition. It appears that it was glued to something at one time... there is a glue mark on the back."
