Elizabeth Cornell Swan (CDV by Andrew Jordan & Co., 229 Greenwich Street, Brooklyn, New York)
Written on the verso: Elizabeth Cornell, Mrs. Swan.
Elizabeth Cornell was born circa 1846 in Massachusetts. Her father, name unknown, was an Irish immigrant, and her mother, Eliza N. (last name unknown, circa 1801 - 1885), was a native of Massachusetts. The only census record I found was for 1880, when Elizabeth Cornell Swan was living with her mother in Brooklyn, New York; she listed her occupation as tailoress. I didn’t find any other information about her.
Photographer Andrew Jordan worked for renowned NY photographer Abraham Bogardus. He took the Greenwich location when Bogardus relocated. The CDV verso indicates that the studio was established in 1846.
