Richard/Mary or Elijah/Priscilla

Tintype restored by Cal Bivens.
In Grandma and Me, I captioned this tintype (late 1850s to early 1860s) as Elijah and Priscilla Sutton Sharp Crabtree.
This same or similar photo I have seen labeled as Richard Crabtree and his wife Mary Giggey.
Elijah and Richard, born in Canada, were the youngest sons of John and Elizabeth Bassett Crabb. I am related to both brothers.
Does anyone have any paper trail that identifies this photo as either Richard & Mary or Elijah & Priscilla.

I’ll be interested to see what comments you get. I’ve seen this photo, or portions of it, labeled as Richard and Mary. I’m feeling a bit foolish, because I assumed that was correct and didn’t question “facts.”

Hi Clair,
You may be correct. We’re still trying to find out who they are for sure.
