Two more great pictures of this family
provided by Jeffery G. Harmon!

Bransford Lee Shockley, Sr., wife Josephine and their seven children.
Observation by Jeffery: "This Shockley group photo is Bransford Lee
Shockley, Sr., wife and seven children.  If Francis Hiter Shockley is the
young boy in front of Bransford, then I would date the photo between 1895 - 1897.
The curious thing is the other man in the picture with all the girls.  My guess at
one time was that this is Hickman Shockley.  I can't find my work on this photo,
but maybe someone out there might know."

Francis Hiter Shockley
son of Bransford Lee & Josephine.
