These three photographs were made on glass plates.  I think this may date them to the 1870's or earlier. They were handed down from my Vaden (Sheman TX) & Beauchamp (Collinsville TX) Families.
 I'm 90% sure they are Vaden family members since they were well to do and probably could have easily afforded to have these pictures done.   My Beauchamp ancestors did ok farming, but it just fits more the profile of the Vaden family.
  There was no writing in the wax paper sleeves the glass pictures were in but I do remember my dad saying they were family but had no names to go with them.
