This is Thompson Rector Cornwell's family. The picture was taken in 1889 probably by one of the photographers who traveled home to home taking family pictures during that time period. The house in the picture was built by Thompson Rector Cornwell shortly after he obtained this tract of land sometime in the 1870's (This house became known as the Cornwell home place). This house burned sometime after 1913 and Ezra Cornwell built a replacement house on the site that still stands today.

Looking at the picture from left to right: Ezra, Maggie, Effie, Charles W., Sarah Elizabeth (mother holding Ross), Otto, and Thompson Rector Cornwell (father holding Ray).

Identification courtesy of Ron Cornwell
Photo taken about 1905
LEFT TO RIGHT IN BACK ROW
1. Eva Wells (holding baby)—(1st wife of Charlie Cornwell married in 1903)—They may have had a child that we have no record of who died as an infant. I am not aware that they did but it is possible. I have never seen a picture of Eva.
2. Betsey Thompson (wife of Otto Cornwell married 1903)—They never had children and helped raise a couple of Zac and Maggies children after her death—Charles, Essie and maybe Roy. I have never seen a picture of Betsey as a young woman but I can see the features if you add 30 years and 50 pounds.
3. Elizabeth Reed Cornwell wife of Rector Cornwell. Rector is not in this picture so it was taken after his death in 1905.
4. Otto Stanfield
5. Rose Effie Cornwell Stanfield
6. Maggie Cornwell Medsker with Charles Wesley Medsker in her arms

7. Charlie Cornwell (man with hat)
8. Zack Medsker (man with hat and moustashe)
9. Otto Cornwell (tall man with hat on end)
LEFT TO RIGHT 2ND ROW FROM BACK
1. Ova Stanfield b. 1895 (age 11)
2. Jesse Medsker b. 1896 (age 10)
LEFT TO RIGHT 3RD ROW FROM BACK
1. Othello Stanfield b. 1899 (age 7)
2. Percy Stanfield b. 1896 (age 10)
3. Roy Medsker b. 1901 (age 5)
4. Ray Cornwell (twin) b. 1888
5. Ross Cornwell (twin) b. 1888
6. James Stanfield b. 1903 (small boy at right end)
7. Charles Medsker b. 1903 (could this small child that looks like a girl actually be Charles Medsker dressed like a girl.) It can't be Essie because she was b. 1898 and would be as big as the boys. She doesn't seem to be in the picture.
