The gentleman sitting, in the second picture, has been identified
as John "Jack" Thomas Tait, 3rd great-grandfather of Dixie Tait Kirton.
Mr. Tait was born in Thomas Co., GA in 1850. After serving in the
Civil War, he moved to Pasco County and married Catherine Wilson
and they had 3 children. After her death, he married Nancy "Nanny"
Croft and continued to have a large family.
