I have an old studio photograph of John SMEALLIE which was taken at the Brannock Studio in Amsterdam, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with John likely in his 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I have gathered the following information regarding John and his family:
John A. SMEALLIE was b. 12 Mar 1864 in West Galway, NY to parents John McKie SMEALLIE (1826-1885) and Jeannette Elizabeth DONNAN (1834-1892) who were married on 20 Jan 1858 in New York. John was one of 7 children born to this couple including George Donnan; Margarette “Maggie”; John A.; Nellie; Agnes Boyd; Crear or Crerar; and Jeanette “Nettie” SMEALLIE, all born between 1859 and 1878.
John married Ellen “Ella” Jane CALDERWOOD (1865-1944) on 3 Apr 1889 in Perth, NY. The couple had two children including Flora Belle SMEALLIE (1891-1963) and Ralph John SMEALLIE (1892-1954). John died 8 May 1911 in Amsterdam, NY and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Amsterdam, NY.
I am hoping to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
