Jabez Elliott, Jr. family
This photo is from the collection of Maxine Elliott Mottice, and portrays -- in all likelihood -- Jabez Elliott, Jr., his wife Sarah Ann Johnson, and their seven children; John Anderson, Charles Musgrave, Columbus, Linsey Johnson, Jasper Lafayett, Frances Harriet, and Izetta Matilda.
The only identification mark on the photo is that it was taken by the Gibson Studio in Morgantown.
The identity of the family is determined by the other photo of Jabez Elliott, and the similarity is too striking to ignore. In addition, the number of young people in the photo matches the number and gender of his children.
If this is indeed the Jabez Elliott, Jr. family, the date of the photo is prior to 1897 since that is when Sarah Ann died.
