John McGrew Ong (1799-1877) (?)

Here are two interesting old photos shared by a cousin-in-law (the wife of my fifth cousin once removed to be precise!):

This one is marked "great-grandfather Ong" and given the provenance we are guessing they are both photos of John McGrew Ong (1799-1877), one of the sons of Rev Jacob and Mary McGrew Ong, and the husband of Mary Jane Cuppy (1797-1877).  (And he is also my great-great-great-great-great uncle!)  The other seems to be the same person, marked "an Ong":

John McGrew Ong was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, just a few years before the family of Jacob and Mary Ong moved to Ohio.  John and Mary (Cuppy) Ong raised their family in/around the Ong homestead in Jefferson County, Ohio but moved to LaSalle County, Illinois sometime in the 1850s.

Thanks for sharing the photos!
