These pictures came from a cousin; they were saved in an old
shoebox, I think. Few of them come with names attached.  I would
appreciate knowing any names anyone manages to identify.  I think
that probably one of the young men is my great grandfather, Charles
Hiram Readio, one of four sons of George Austin Readyhoff.

The pictures suggest that the Readyhough's had oval faces with standard
Yorkshire features, largish chins. Amzi Allen's wife was of Puertogese
and French ancestry; this probably accounts for the dark coloring of
many of the family.  Many of the family have a Latin cast to their
features, too.  Most descendants of Amzi Allen who are not REadio have
very long faces.  AMzi himself had large, heavy features, particularly
his wide nose and his eyebrows, and also the distinctive forehead
furrows, characteristic of the Tuttle family who were among his ancestors.
I can't tell if the other photo of a middle aged man is of Amzi or not; 
many of the features look similar, but his face isn't as long and seems
to belong to a man with a different personality; in fact, a man who
looks VERY British emigrant. 

My mother has what are probably pictures of George Readyhough
and his wife among her old family photos.  She was a tall, 
moderately overweight woman with a rectangular face and short, tightly curled hair.
George Austin Readio was very dignified in a captain's
uniform; his most outstanding feature was what looked like a 
large hole in the middle of his chin.
