Ann Schenck Ditmas photo
Similar to Robert King's post on this forum, I, too, have come across a photo of one of the Schencks.In a flea market yesterday, I found a wonderful old photo of 4 generations of women.Further research indicates that they were from Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY.Their names and the info I've found about them:
- Ann (Schenck) Ditmas, b. 9/16/1799 (she was the wife of Henry S. Ditmas, who owned the old Ditmas homestead in Flatbush).From digging around, I believe she was a daughter of Tenuis Schenck, but someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Jane Ann (Ditmas) Martense, her daughter, b. 1820, wife of Gerret Martense.
- Jennie V. (Martense) Wilbur, her grand-daughter, b. February 1846, wife of Lionel Wilbur.
- Anna M. Wilbur, her great grand-daughter, b. August 1875.
This photo dates from the 1880's, and based on the apparent ages of the women, my best guess is around 1885 or so.If anyone is related to any of these women, contact me and I will send a scan of the photo, which is of cardboard thickness, and I think they're called cabinet photos.
