This photograph is in the private collection of Lois C. Jenkins, a descendant of the Nickerson Family of Madison, NH. Ms. Jenkins scanned and provided this high-resolution image, which we have permission to share here.

Here is her description of the photo: “Mark & Caroline (Kennett) Nickerson, my gg-grandparents.  They lived on the Maple Grove Road.  Mark was a selectman in Madison for several years.  He went on a 5-month whaling trip out of New Bedford, MA, in 1842 when he was 19 years old.  I have a trancscribed copy of a letter he sent to his parents, Joshua & Lucy (Phillips) Nickerson, after he returned, which describes the trip.  Fascinating.”
