Dating the clothing in the picture would be very helpful--although it wouldn't prove the identity of the subject, it would give an idea of when the original was taken.

Thank you for your contributions to this conversation. Are you perchance related to the James Higgenbotham that married Nancy A. Hall (1869-1949), daughter of John J. Hall?

If so have you ever heard, or know of, anyone in the John J. Hall, John D. Johnston and associated families who had a copy of the Thomas Lincoln photo prior to 1930? If someone from those families were the reputed Lincoln relative that sold a copy to O. V. Flora, I should think someone else of those families, or Dennis Hanks for that matter, may have kept a copy as well.

No relation that I know of, sorry! Although my Higginbothams are from Kentucky.
