I have a very old tin type of a soldier. The uniform he is wearing looks like one I found on the web( dolls) It is 2Mo Merrill's Horse. I don't know what that means but I believe he was probably an ancestor of mine. There is some writing on the back, scratched in probably with a knife, that is very hard to read. It has a hole punched in one corner as though to hang it from somethin. I was scanning some family pictures when I found it. Some of the pictures are from the late 1700s, early 1800s, going by the clothing. Thanks. G.Winters
