This is a photo of my great-grandfather Jeremiah Joseph Kirby. He was born in New York City in 1864 but the birth was registered in Dalton, Massachusetts, his parents having travelled there from Dublin, Ireland, the year before. The family returned to Dublin a year later and eventually settled in London, England-a well travelled man.

This is a photo of my great-great grandfather, Thomas Staton Brown and his sons, taken in 1869 in Arkansas. Clockwise from left: George Washington, Thomas Staton, Isaac Neely, James McCloud, and Marion.
Isaac Neely is the name of one of my ancestors in Missouri. He did fight in the Civil War so could have been in Arkansas but his father was not the same.
I have Neeleys,Neelys,etc in my line as well. Are yours from Pa originally? Then Ireland?
I was curious about the relative George Washington in this photo. The one I am related to is George Washington Corner who fought in the 29th Indiana Infantry during the civil war. I am pretty early in my research, so any information would be greatly appreciated!
