Amanda Sophia (Pendroy) (Trussell) Mapes

Amanda Sophia Pendroy was born on born 05- June-1845, and was a daughter of James and Mary Ann (Wiseman) Pendroy. Picture identified by writing on the back as Amanda S. Mapes. This "Mapes" family portrait was found in the picture albums belonging to Amanda's sister Lydia (Pendroy) Marshall, husband of George Marshall.

The viewer can approximately estimate the date of this "undated" Abraham Mapes family portrait utilizing the known birth of the youngest daughter in the picture: Cordelia Mapes, recorded as born abt. 1884 in US Census records. (My own estimate would be Circa: 1891 for this photo's date).
