RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-02-2017
Nope, he is not connected with John Surratt.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2017
Did he have to do with Mary Suratt?
Or Atzerodt?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-02-2017
Nope, he was not connected with Mary Surratt or George Atzerodt.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 08-02-2017
Connected with Dr. Sam Mudd?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 08-02-2017
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
Henry Burnett?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017
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.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 08-03-2017
Would the person pictured have supported the Confederacy?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-03-2017
Is Herold the respective conspirator?
Do you refer to Kathy's book? Or Tom Bogar's?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017
Gene, Wikipedia says the person was a Union supporter.
Eva, no, no, and no.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 08-03-2017
Wild guess, but Parson Lemuel Wilmer?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017
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
Is our mystery man connected to the Seward family or Lewis Paine/Powell?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2017
Gene, yes, the connection is to Lewis Powell.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Dave Taylor - 08-03-2017
It's Rev. Abram Gillette, Lewis Powell's spiritual advisor.
