Who owns the Agnes Tazewell Tizah-nee (Bailey) Cline daguerreotype?



Who owns this daguerreotype of Agnes Tazewell Tizah-nee (Bailey) Cline and scanned it for the Internet? I'd like to ask them if we could use it for our *Nikitie group.

*Nikitie Group: We have a study group for all the people who are descended from the Longhunters who inter-married with the Shawnee, Cherokee, Powhatan and other tribes and lived in a place called Indian, Virginia from about 1700 to present day. If you are a descendant or you would like to study this group please join here: Nikitie Group

  1. Not sure who owns it but you might want to ask Dale Cline. He runs the Cline family group on Facebook. Agnes Tazzie Tizah-neh Bailey Cline is my grandmother's great-grandmother and my grandma grew up in the house that her father lived in when his mom Amanda took care of her mom "Tazzie" because she lived with her, so I have a definite connection to this side of the family for sentimental reasons as well. I spoke to a daguerreotype expert who claimed that this photo could not have been taken during the time period when Tazzie was young, thus this has to be a misidentified photograph and is in fact NOT Tazzie. Who she is remains a mystery, but is not Tazzie, based on the age of the photograph. Take care ---

    1. Hi, J’aime, so glad to find a descendant of Tazzie Bailey Cline. My husband, Ron Bailey, is a descendant of Tazzie Bailey II, who I think was a niece of your Tazzie. His family story was that they were descended from an Native American woman, but when he checked his DNA, there were no genes indicating that. It was not until I discovered your Tazzie that I understood where the confusion was!
