Uncertain Identity

Margie Black submitted the following photo and requested help in positively identifying the people in it. She obtained this pictured from her aunt. The date and place where the photo was taken is unknown.

Margie is positive that the woman on the right is Francis Elizabeth Pollock McLemore and the one on the left is probably Margie's great-grandmother Nancy Emily Pollock. Nancy and Francis were sisters, daughters of Isaac James & Martha Emily Norton Pollock. The woman in the middle is unknown.

Margie believes that the man seated on the left could be John Pollock, born in 1800, father of Isaac James, grandfather of Francis and Nancy. The man on the right is unknown.

Any help in confirming their identities is greatly appreciated! Please e-mail me with any information you can provide at vseibel@flash.net
