The Original Photo; 8x10 inches; resized to fit here. My great-great grandfather Issac Melton (center) and his children, about 1880. My great grandmother, Emma, is sitting front left.

Unretouched photo of a tintype. America Lawson Martin Sinclair, my 3rd great grandmother, born 1807.	Retouched, colorized photo of America Lawson Martin Sinclair
NOTE: The original tintype was found in the house that America Sinclair and her husband, Isaac, built. It was assumed that it is a picture of America. Because of the date of her birth, and the apparent age of the woman in the photograph, however, I feel it is more probable that the photo is of one of her daughters.
