Is this photo identified correctly? It does not resemble any photos I have seen of William Draper Jr. I am his 3rd great grandson through his son Moses (b.1832). Just wondering.
My grandfather's name was Benjamin John Draper (He married Betty J Gilkey) and his father committed suicide when my grandfather was a boy. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this subject as it has been difficult finding out any information as my grandfather passed in the 90's. Thank you.
