Photography became available in 1839. So this could not be a photo from 1805. And he died in 1829.

Fuqua-510 and Fuqua-53 are not ready to be merged because: Thank you Doug for the possibility of a merge, however more research should be done to verify these two. The death dates do not match. One lists children and a spouse the other lists siblings. We will look into this.
