I'm not really good at determining ages from photos so that's why I'm not sure the relationship. Concerning whereabouts, these Photos were acquire in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. Now, because it is so close to the Ohio and Pennsylvania borders I'm not actually sure where this Family is from thus he could have fought for any 1 of these 3 States. Soldier Tintype is roughly 2 7/8 x 3 3/8.
The smaller ones are about 1 x 1 1/2. Would make a fine addition to your Civil War Collection.
