Who Are They?

These two photos first sparked the desire in me to share my collection of photographs.  I looked into these faces and thought: They appear so ordinary yet, in someone's family history, they were very special. They have names but I don't know them.  Their names exist somewhere out there - on someone's family tree or in family recollections passed down over generations, but do the names have pictures?   

Elizabeth "Libbie" Jones, my gr. gr.
grandmother b. 1839 Otsego NY. married
to Samuel Jones.  

Heck, they could be my ancestors!  I lament that I know nothing of my gr. gr. grandmother, Libbie Jones' background other than what we heard as kids: She was an Indian. But Libbie's eyes are gray in the one photo I have. Just like the woman's eyes here. Then could he be a Mohawk Indian? I stare at these two faces and ask questions: Who are you? Where were you born? How many children did you have?  How many grandchildren? How hard was your life?   They stare back but don't share the answers.
