This is the only known picture of Experience Reynnells Hathaway. This was taken prior to 1879.
This photograph was labeled Hathaway homestead. I think this picture was taken October 1864. Ida would be the baby being held by her mother, Experience. George was 4 years old. The two girls may be Ella & Frances who were 6 & 8. Or they could be Adell & Ella. Adell would have been 10. Anson is in the doorway.
This is an early tintype photograph of Frances & Ellen Hathaway taken about 1874.

Adelaide & Adeline were daughters of Luther Hathaway who was the son of Ebenezer Hathaway, the brother of William Hathaway. It is possible that some of the pictures labeled "Hathaway Home" may have been pictures of their home. They lived in Schoolcraft, Michigan.
William's sister, Mehitable also moved to Michigan, but she was married to Rev. Amos Cobb so it is unlikely that her home would be referred to as the Hathaway home.
