The photos above were sent to Johnna Quick by Vicky Dennis, who is researching the Ferguson-Low-Brannon families. The top photo is of JT and Susanna (Edds) Ferguson; the lower one was annotated as being of sons Jim and George in the back row, and JT, John, and Susanna in the front row. Since Wilson's History has John being 10 years older than Jim, there's either an error in Wilson's History or in the annotation.
