Photos - Help Identify The Individuals

Below are photos, either sent to me or found myself, of Echols/Eckles families. Together we can hopefully identify all of the individuals.

The photo above was sent to me by the GG-Granddaughter of Elvira Frances ECKLES & Wiley Waters WEBB. It of an Eckles/Echols reunion that has yet to be identified. The photo was found in an old trunk belonging to Allie Rebecca WEBB Reeves. The only person so far identified is Mary Ann Elizabeth CLAY Eckles (wife of John William Davenport ECKLES), the lady seated in the middle front. If you know any of these people, or the location and date of the picture, and can help label them please contact me.

  1. Does anyone have a will or document that proves Ann Echols Marchbanks is a daughter of John Echols? If so, I would appreciate it if you would contact me at ftrandalludc@gmail.com. Many thanks,
    D. Pringle

  2. I do not have this book but I'm sure it would probably list his wife. If you get it please share what you find.
