Adele Everett Yoe (?), circa 1900

The collection contains photographs, primarily cartes des visites and cabinet cards, of Commodore Joshua Barney’s relatives and descendants, including the Bonnycastle, Yoe, Harrison, and White families. These photographs are arranged into five series: Portraits; Photographs by Richard Rhodeham Yoe; Places; Album; and, Cased Photographs. Within the Portrait series, the images are grouped by family. The majority of the people included are the children and grandchildren of John C. and Harriet Everett Bonnycastle, the granddaughter of Joshua and Harriet Coale Barney. Many of the photographs are unidentified and with some of the identified images, the relationship to Joshua Barney and his relatives could not be determined. An engraving of Joshua Barney as well as a 1977 photograph of his house in Savage, Maryland may be of particular interest.
