We've been going through old pictures and found the above. Who are these men? Jagos, add-on founders of Denton, my Mother's people? Or just some random gang my Great Great Grandmother happened to know and like. Both options are more than possible, combined.
That in mind, you get the feeling from the photo that there wasn't much law here back in the day. And think, "back in the day" means what, 1918-20? Something like that, and something like that wasn't so very far from the frontier and all that went with it. Respect.
Regardless, any help with a positive ID would be most appreciated.

Instant ancestors.
ReplyDeleteWhoever they are, the one on the left and the one on the bottom appear to share the same DNA.
There may be writing on the back of the print.
ReplyDeleteProbably a long shot, but worth a try.

I agree, they're related.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any family resemblance, Wild, but yes, the two left and two rights seem related. Perhaps two sets of brothers? Perhaps, but what's the family connection? We don't know.
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't, Ritchie, annoyingly. But good call.
ReplyDeleteThanks, RHT, let's see if that link produces...
ReplyDeleteAlso, note lapel pins -- might help narrow things down but they're hard to read.
LL, my guess is two sets of brothers. The boys on the left seem more dangerous but let's not judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteNeat old photo regardless, and I'd like to fathom the family connection. Some kind of earlyish Denton thing, perhaps.
Agree, two sets of brothers, and no, can't make out either of the pins they are wearing. I have pics like that with no writing, so no idea who they are...sigh
ReplyDeleteThe bottom bro looks like a wild-eyed pistol waver. His bro, not so much.
ReplyDeleteRight, NFO, a pin id would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteNote their tie pins too, I inherited one. Showy!
Totally with you, Wild.
ReplyDeleteBottom character looks dangerous to me.
The Jessie James Gang?🎄
ReplyDeleteSame territory, curiously, Anon (Bonham/Denton etc).
