This is an Ayres "mystery photo". The original is a tin-type which was with photos of the children of Sam Ayres (brother to C. C. & Pack Ayres). Do they resemble anyone in your family? Do they resemble C. C. or Pack Ayres? They could be relatives of the Ayreses. Many of the Ayreses played the fiddle. It is estimated that this photo was taken about 1865-1870.
This is Mystery Photo #2 which is an ambrotype that was made about 1855-1860.
