Her Great Grandfather was Covey Beckner. We have determined the names of the children in the picture by the ages that we have for them. The only child missing is my Grandfather Alonzo Beckner who had already married at the time this photo was taken. We have determined this photo was taken between 1904- 1905
  George W. & Tressa Beckner were my great grandparents.. He was born May,19,1861 in Franklin Co. Virginia. His parents were Aaron and Ruth Beckner.. He married Teressa A. Mills June,10,1885 in Franklin Co.. She was born about 1868, It is stated that she was born in Virginia. My Dad seem to think that her parents may have come from Ireland. He remembered her as a very short lady with "flaming red" hair.. I have not been able to find anything about who her parents were or where they came from.. My father said everyone called her "Tressie".
