Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Oldest Family Photos

It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1)  What are the oldest family photos that you have?  Can you date them?  Do you know who is in them?

2)  Show us one or more of your oldest photos and provide a date and the subjects.

3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook.

Here's mine:

I have several sets of "oldest photos" but i'm not sure which are the oldest.

a)  John Richman (1788-1867) of Hilperton, Wiltshire, England - print of an older photo, original perhaps about 1865:

2)  Isaac Seaver (1823-1902) and Lucretia (Smith) Seaver (1828-1884) - ambrotypes in a Union Case, about 1864:

3)  Devier J. Smith (1839-1894) and Abigail (Vaux) Smith (1844-1931) - tintype in a case, about 1869.

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a program to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping us out here!

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
