A great-grandson, Glen Kinney, said they called her "the little Dutch woman" because of the clothes she had on in the picture. He also said that when the family moved from Blue Mountain, Mississippi, to Tennessee it was winter because the kids were in the back of the wagon (one was his father) with quilts thrown on them and it started snowing. Annie Mae, who was the wife of Uncle John Kinney (the little boy in the picture) told me a tale about Grandpa John Kinney burning fence posts in the field one day and catching his beard on fire.
