Young Man, New Hampshire or Maine

Perhaps one of the Ellingwoods of Milan, Coos County, New Hampshire before going off to the Civil War.

 

The photo is from the album of Gram Fifield (Hester Ellingwood Fifield, 1820-1895, Dummer, Coos County,New Hampshire). Hester and her husband, Edward, were foster parents to my G-G-Grandmother Alvina Frost Andrews and her brother Sumner Frost after their parents died in Albany, Maine.

 

I suspect this tintype is pre-Civil War due to the absence of Civil War tax stamps on its back.
