Nope, he is not connected with John Surratt.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2017 05:31 PM

Did he have to do with Mary Suratt?

Or Atzerodt?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-02-2017 06:21 PM

Nope, he was not connected with Mary Surratt or George Atzerodt.


RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 08-02-2017 07:11 PM

Connected with Dr. Sam Mudd?


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 08-02-2017 08:36 PM

Does the source you used for the image have a date for it? By the man's clothes, I was thinking it dates from at least a decade earlier.

Anyway for my next guess...

John W. Wharton, the employer of Arnold?


RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 08-02-2017 10:33 PM

Henry Burnett?

Thanks for trying everyone, but no one is correct. Steve, the photo is undated in the book where I found this photo. I believe the author probably got the photo from a descendant, and it's possible the family does not have a date for it.

Hint #4: The book which has the photo when the man was older has been previously mentioned on the forum. This book was written by a member of this forum.

Hint #4.25: In one previous guess, the right conspirator was mentioned in the post, but the person guessing did not ask if this were the right conspirator.

Hint #4.5: The book where I found the photo for this question has been previously mentioned on the forum.

Hint #4.75: The man in the photo has been previously mentioned on the forum.

Would the person pictured have supported the Confederacy?


RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-03-2017 08:29 AM

Is Herold the respective conspirator?

Do you refer to Kathy's book? Or Tom Bogar's?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017 08:49 AM

Gene, Wikipedia says the person was a Union supporter.

Eva, no, no, and no.


RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 08-03-2017 09:02 AM

Wild guess, but Parson Lemuel Wilmer?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017 09:20 AM

Nope, not him.

Hint #5: The book (written by a member of this forum) that has the photo of this man when he was older has been mentioned in one of the previous wrong guesses for this question.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 08-03-2017 10:20 AM

Is our mystery man connected to the Seward family or Lewis Paine/Powell?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017 10:28 AM

Gene, yes, the connection is to Lewis Powell.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Dave Taylor - 08-03-2017 10:32 AM

It's Rev. Abram Gillette, Lewis Powell's spiritual advisor.
