I purchased in Alameda, CA an album containing the subject undated Peabody family studio portraits, among others, both identified and unidentified ones. The photo of an elderly bearded man taken by Proctor's Art Studio, Salem, MA, is identified on the back of the mount:
"John Peabody
of Oxford, Mass.
father of John P.
Peabody of Salem,
Mass."
The photo of a young child, taken by B. F. Jones, Salem, MA, is identified on the back of the mount:
"John Scripture Peabody"
These individuals appear in Public Member Trees posted on ancestry.com. The man is listed in the 1855 Massachusetts State Census data for Oxford, Essex Co., MA,; and the 1860 U.S. Census data for Oxford, Essex Co., MA.
John Peabody, born 19 Sep 1806 in Boxford, Essex Co., MA, died 27 Aug 1895 in West Peabody, MA, was the son of Joseph Spoffard Peabody (1779-1846) and Hannah Foster (-1849). On 27 Sep 1831, in Georgetown, MA, John married Henrietta Salara Baker (1810-1874). The couple had nine children, including John Perley Peabody (1832-1899), who married Sarah Abigail True (1835-1892) and had John Scripture Peabody (1869-).
