RE: Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets
The similarity between Sarah (Ruth's mother) and the woman in the daguerrotype, initially led me to suspect they might be Sarah's parents too. But Sarah's father died in 1853, prior to when the photo was taken based on their clothing and hairstyles. Also Sarah's parents would both only be in their early to mid 30's then. As far as I can tell there's no evidence Sarah's mother, Ruth, remarried. I was able to find a passport application for Ruth (the grandmother) from the 1890's which lists her eye color as gray, which could match the woman in the daguerrotype (ie not brown).

I'm guessing it's probably the similar hairstyles of Sarah and the woman playing tricks on our minds, seeing familial resemblances. If my theory is correct, Sarah's husband, Michael Henry Montgomery, the man who's photo is also on the webpage, is the son of the couple in the daguerrotype.
