Celebrating Women's History Month- Day Two
Post a photo of one of your female ancestors. Who is in the photo? When was it taken? Why did you select this photo?
I chose a picture that I need to positively identify.This photograph was in my Grandmother Mary Baker Hudson's attic. When my father found it he knew I would want it! Thankfully he sent it to me.
Mimi, as I called my Grandmother, thought that it was a picture of her late husband Benjamin Allen Hudson's grandmother. At the time she didn't know her name, she just said that she thought it was Ben's paternal grandmother.
I know her name to be Sarah Rebecca Smith Flemming Hudson (1835-1916) but is she the woman in this picture?

I have contacted some of the members of the Hudson, Smith and Flemming families to see if they have any other pictures of Sarah to compare with this one or if they are familiar with this picture. No one seems to know or have any other pictures.
No pictures have been found of her son, my Great Great Grandfather John M. Hudson, but I was sent a picture of Sarah's daughter Ila O. Hudson Flemming.
