D. C. Kellam to Gawina Corbin Murphy – Date of Marriage; 8 May 1899 – Daughter of Capt. John N. Murphy; Sister-in-law of B. F. Brown; Sister of Louise Murphy – PE 20 May 1899.
Notes on Picture
On the steps are David Cornelius Kellam (1854-1925), with his 2nd wife, Gawina Corbin Murphy (1869-1924), and his 3 daughters by his first marriage to Lucy "Wilmina" Nottingham (1859-1898): Lillian May Kellam (Jacob) (1883-1963), Helen Pauline Kellam (Jackson) (1885-1959), and Lucy "Wilmina" Kellam (Mayo, Brown, Bowman) (1887-1971). Beside the nanny in front is David and Gawina's son, David Corbin Kellam, Sr. (1900-1935), and their other son, Henry "Stafford" Kellam (1906-1979), was not born yet. This was taken ca. 1903. The home is still standing and occupied, located on Lankford Highway (Rt. 13), on the right side going north, at Shady Side south of Machipongo in Northampton County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. David was a brother of my great-great-grandmother, Rebecca Kellam Stevens (1856-1931), and a merchant and potato farmer, his store having been located on the present site of Blue Heron Realty across the highway. My great3-grandfather, Thomas Hatton Kellam, Jr. (1826?-1907), was living here when he died in his son David's home. In spite of Thomas having lost the Hack-Muir-Hatton-Kellam family plantation, "Evergreen," in Accomack Co., VA, after the "Late Unpleasantness," apparently his son David reclaimed some of the family's prominence as shown by the prosperity evident in this photograph, and it is admirable that he included his black hired help and his horse as they were truly part of the family and unlike his ancestors, he probably had to make his own way in the world without benefit of slaves or family inheritance.
