This is questionable. My mother had a picture in her possessions with the name Nancy  Aynes on the back. I was later told by a descendant to Mary Rebecca Aynes that it was not Nancy. Both pictures had them wearing the same dress. It was not unusual for families to buy a large amout of cloth and make multi garment out of it for other siblings. It could be a hand me down as the two sisters were 15 years apart. Based on an older  picture of Mary Rebecca Aynes, I have to agree that the photo that my mother had look similarities to the one when Mary Rebecca was older. The picture above belongs to a man in Madison Mississippi.
