It turns out that finding pictures, and therefore visual confirmation of beard vs clean shaven, wasn\u2019t easy.\u00a0 There are more male (and female too) relatives that I don\u2019t have an identified pictures of than I had thought.\u00a0\"Salt,<\/a><\/p>\n

To start with my father\u2019s family line:\u00a0 my father, grandfather Salt, and great-grandfather Salt were all clean shaven.\u00a0 My g-g-grandfather Wilshire Salt had a beard in the couple of pictures I have of him.\u00a0 Here he is, probably around the time of his marriage to Ann Justice in 1851.<\/p>\n

My father\u2019s maternal line, the Boothbys, were not given to having photographs made before the advent of the home camera, so I don\u2019t know whether my great-grandfather or g-g-grandfather had beards.\u00a0 I have one blurry home snapshot that I think may be my great-grandfather and I don\u2019t think he had a beard but it is really too far away to tell (and I don\u2019t have any confirmation that I\u2019m right in my identification of him in this picture).<\/p>\n

On my father\u2019s Coffin and Justice sides there are only Coffin pictures for Z.B. and for Cyrus Coffin and they were both clean shaven.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have any Justice men identified in photographs, so I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

On my moth\"Edward<\/a>er\u2019s Denman line my grandfather, great-grandfather, and 3g-grandfather and 4g-grandfathers were all clean shaven.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a picture identified of my g-g-grandfather but I know that some of his brothers had beards.\u00a0 The picture I love is of the brother my grandpa Lyle called Uncle Ed\u2019ard:\u00a0 he had what is called a neck beard or neck curtain.\u00a0\u00a0 Edward Denman was born in 1820 so by the time my Grandpa Lyle remembered seeing him on a Sunday afternoon as a maybe three-year old or so, he would have been at least 79 years old.\u00a0 So he probably looked a lot like this.<\/p>\n

On the Minor side, I know that my \"Charles<\/a> g-g-grandfather Charles had a beard.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have any identified pictures of his father Cyrus so I don\u2019t know about his facial hair.<\/p>\n

On the Snow side (mother\u2019s mother) as far as I can see the men were clean shaven.\u00a0\u00a0 My great-grandfather C. H. Snow did not have a beard in the couple of pictures I have.\u00a0 There are again one or two men, my g-g-grandfather and 3g-grandfather, who may have had photos taken but I haven\u2019t seen them.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet,<\/a>My g-g-grandfather Colvin Sweet had a beard, as did several of his brothers, but I don\u2019t know about my 3-g-grandfather Waterman Sweet.<\/p>\n
