Family Pictures

This page is for you to share those old photos. All we ask is that they be at least 50 years old and that you can tell us a little something about the folks in the photo. Send in your photo, preferably an electronic version, and the info and we'll put it on the web.

Each group of family photos will be numbered, (for example, P-001). Numbers in parenthesis after an individual's name is the number assigned in Claude Bunnell's extensive Bunnell/Bonnell/Burnell database.
If you have a foto, send it to Charlie or Charlie & Pat Bunnell, 13 Windsor Pt, Crossville, TN 38558, and we'll put it on this page for free. But it may take a while as it is just the two of us doing this and the newsletter. Thanks.

Julia's lineage is: William1, Benjamin2, Benjamin3, Solomon4, Isaac5, John6, Henry7, William8, Herman9, Julia10 .

"Ma and Pa Beebe" is what my folks always called them, and so did I growing up and I remember visiting them and even staying with them when I was very young. There was a wood burning cook stove in the kitchen and I used to go out the kitchen door, turn left and bring in kindling so she could cook breakfast. It wasn't until I started researching the family that I found out the real relationship; she was my second cousin, once removed. Julia's great grandfather, Henry Jayne Bunnell is my great-great grandfather. Julia was born Sep 1, 1889 and died April 15, 1961. Ray was born Aug. 5, 1889 and died Apr. 11, 1951.
