The above photograph is estimated to be from August/September 1916.

(this is written on the back of the photograph)
The fourth man on the back row
with a hat on and a baby in arm is
Jesse Ann Carmack Jr.


Jesse Ann Carmack Jr., b. 28 April 1868, Galveston, Galveston County, TX
m. Mary Jane Stallins, 8 January 1891.
b. 2 March 1869, Caldwell County, KY d. 23 June 1905, Caldwell County, KY

m. Mettie Ethel Ashby, 11 December 1907, Caldwell County, KY.
b. 14 August 1885, Caldwell County, KY d. 18 October 1947, Caldwell County, KY

Carolyn has identified the baby in arm of Jesse to be Georgia Ethel Carmack Ward.

and left of Jesse, Mettie holding
Lena Lucille Carmack Ward.

She believes the two men #8 and #9 (back row) to be
William Turner (Billie) Stallins
born abt. 1831 (source – Peggy Gilkey) and a brother or son.
A history buff tells Carolyn that men in the south on the
confederate side wore this kind of white goatee,
known as “the Jefferson Davis goatee”.
