The Henry Claiborne Talton Family in the late 1800s


This is a picture taken in the late 1800s of my great grandfather Henry Claiborne Talton with his second wife and the children of him and his deceased first wife and the children of him and his second wife. He was the son of a slave and slavemaster and born into slavery in 1839 in Houston County Georgia. He later lived enslaved in Claiborne Parish in northwestern Louisiana. After slavery ended he and his family lived in Ashdown (Little River County) Arkansas where the picture was taken.
He died in Arkansas in the 1920s.
