Includes six sons of (Polly or Marry) Tucker Leaming and D. M. Leaming. Inferring from their clothing, this photograph was likely taken, along with GLC05080.05, at a December 1860 family reunion. According to a list of names written in blue ink on verso, this photograph depicts Rusle, Edward, Mack J., Charles, Silas, and Jude Leaming.
Mack J. Leaming later served as 1st Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and was present at the controversial battle which took place there in April 1864.
