This is a cleaned up and repaired version of an old damaged photograph recently found in the walls of our ancestral Francis P. Robinson family farmhouse on Anthony Road, Bald Mountain, Greenwich, Washington Co., NY. The photo, dated 1832 on the rear, was found while the current owner was removing the inner walls of the historic old house. The date on the photo points to the image being that of Freelove Ann Robinson, wife of Francis P. Robinson, Jr, my great great grandmother. In 1832, Freelove was 28 years old, the approximate age of the woman in the photo. Freelove's maiden name is not known for certain, however, the early Bottskill Baptist church records, of which Freelove was a member, show two Freeloves, one Freelove Kilmore and one Freelove Tucker. She could be either of these. The original photo, now cropped because of damage, showed the subject wearing a small crude wooden cross on her chest.
