    Interesting name, interesting face, interesting beard(!). Wonderful photograph, Lisa.

      Well Celia...I don't think that is a beard. However...it could be I suppose. I got the impression it was something for warmth. I just don't know. This photo was taken from a portrait up on the wall of one of my husband's relatives. I think it must have been a painting. My husband says he definitely looks either Black or Indian. Out of all the researchers on the Cundiffs I have yet to hear of any of them finding there was mixed blood. I have not done a lot on this lineage myself, so, yeah...interesting face, LOL! And of course I love his and his father's names..Meshack and Shadrack!

    I have a couple Shadracks but no Meshacks.

    Is the portrait charcoal? If so, that might explain why he looks Black or Indian. (aside from the cheek bones)

      I wish I knew Wendy. It was a lot of years ago...the 1980s, that we were up there and saw the portrait. It may have been charcoal.

    Interesting, believe it or not I actually have that in my possession. He is my great, great, great grandfather. I got it from my grandmother and I'm guessing that is where you took the photo of it? Campbellsville, Ky?
