Photographs of Great Great Grandparents

While sorting through family photos and identifying my great grandmother, Ethel Laurel Winterton (1891-1962) and her brother, William Gladstone Winterton, I noticed an older woman in a lot of the photos, sometimes with an older man. They are probably Laurel and William's parents, Katherine Dunn and William Walling Winterton.

Left to right: William Walling Winterton, unknown boy, William Gladstone Winterton,
Katherine Dunn (wife of William W), and Sophia Winterton (wife of Joseph Walling).
Sophia and William Walling Winterton were siblings. She is clearly identified in other labeled photographs.
 She relocated to California by 1920 and sent pictures home to Monmouth County, New Jersey.

This couple playing in the snow could also be William and Katherine.

The supposed Katherine identified herself on the back of one photograph, but not by name.

Sallie Cuttrell
and myself




Sallie Cuttrell was born Sallie Cailhopper (1869-1936). She was a first cousin of William Walling Winterton- the husband of Katherine Dunn. Sallie's mother, Serena Winterton (1843-1914), was a sister of William's father, John R Winterton (1831-1890).


Older cabinet cards were in this collection. Two cabinet cards were from the studio of Grotecloss at 44 West 14th Street in New York City. The woman could be Katherine Dunn. She has the same pale eye color and facial expression.







A young man was also photographed by Grotecloss. Could this be William Walling Winterton?






From another photo album is a cabinet card of perhaps the same woman. The photographer was L H Doremus of 240 Main Street in Paterson. This business existed from 1888-1901. Katherine would have been in her late twenties. Her first child was born in 1891.






What do you all think of the pictures from the 1800s? Same people- Katherine Dunn and William Walling Winterton?
