 The name under the twenty-seventh photo in the album looks to be Lunette Tyler. I've looked in my database, online, and in a Tyler family history and cannot find a woman named Lunette, or anything close in the family, much less someone likely born in the 1850s or 1860s. So unless I can figure out what her name really is - I have no idea who she is.  About the  Hankins/Ross Photo Album Previous Photo in the Album:   Lauretta V.

  The eighteenth photograph in the album is Louretta F Teeple (1864 - 1897), granddaughter of Mary Ellen (Ross) Hankins's half sister Phebe Jane Tyler.  Louretta F Teeple was born 29 May 1864 in White Lake, Sullivan County, New York, daughter of Depuy Teeple (1829-before 1882) and Mary Emmeline Tyler (1838-1911). She married Edward Bonaparte Cregier (1860-1932).  Edward and Loretta Cregier had either three or four children. Online sources give their children as Blanche (1881-1957), Grace (1884-1922) and Sidney (1887-1927). Loretta's 1897 death notice in a local paper only mentions an infant a few weeks old.  Loretta F (Teeple) Cregier died about 1 April 1897 near Bethel, Sullivan County, New York.  More research is needed on Loretta and her children. If I find additional info, I'll update this post 25 Oct 2023 - Louretta's exact birth date added. I got her father's Civil War pension file - it had her birth date in it.  About the  Hankins/Ross Photo Alb...
