13. Walter NANCE b. 1887 (brother of Jessie and sib.)
14. James Harvey (Jimmy) NANCE b. 1877 (brother of Jessie and sib.)
15. Jessie Francis NANCE Street b. 1889 (wife of Joseph Street, sister
of others)
The photo was probably taken in or near Ripley, Tippah Co., Mississippi where most of them lived. Jessie Josephine Street was born February 1913 and looks about 6 months old, sitting on her father's knee. Photo probably was taken the summer of 1913. If you have any information on my husband's extended family, please let me know. Ruffin and Roxie NANCE were Greg's great grandparents. Joseph and Jessie NANCE Street were his grandparents. Jessie Josephine Street was his aunt. His mother, Margaret Ruth Street had not been born yet, but I think I'm looking at her when I look at Jessie, his grandmother, in this picture. They look so much alike. Jane L. Monroe.
