Thanks, Bill! :) I will remove the photo. I am a manager, don't know why, but removing the photo seems almost sacrilegious to me. :( If that makes sense? (Maybe cuz we know there are not many of our ancestors). But, in the interest of historic ancestry, I am compelled to do so. Should not be there.
Bill, thanks for starting the discussion about the onset of portrait photography. The ancestor profile was a great place to post your comment. Would you also consider starting a G2G forum question about the topic? It will be easier to track the responses there and is a better place for what is sure to be a lively discussion.

BILL WOOD, I did not add this photo of Phoebe and I have no idea of the "Man" in this picture you are talking about because I only see a woman. Maybe you should message one of the other Managers of this Profile that WikiTree placed together. Furthermore you are wrong about the beginning of photography it started in 1800 and the first successful picture was in 1820's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photography ~ Robert Webb
