Attached gem-sized tintypes of a son and mother identified as Clarence and Tillie Ellenwood. Likely Ellingwood.
The seller of this grouping indicated that Clarence and Tillie were son and mother from Eastport, Maine, with the surname Ellingwood. It's worth mentioning, however, there was another Clarence and Tilly Ellingwood in the Winterport and Frankfort, Maine, area.
From online research on the Eastport pair, hopefully correct - corrections and/or additions requested:
Clarence A. Ellingwood (1854-1905) was born 8 March 1854 at Eastport, Maine, son of Marshall Alden Ellenwood (1830-1898) and Matilda Jane (Pendleton) Ellenwood (1830-1913).
I found sources that indicated Marshall Alden Ellenwood was born 15 October 1831 at Eastport, Maine, but he indicated Canada on the Censuses. It wasn't uncommon for people living on the Canadian islands of Passamaquoddy Bay to have their children born at Eastport, Maine, where there was a doctor.
Matilda Jane "Tillie" (Pendleton) Ellenwood was born 17 June 1829 at Deer Island, New Brunswick, across from Eastport, Maine, the daughter of Isaac Gilkey Pendleton and Mary (Jamison) Pendleton.
Clarence had a younger brother, Dr. Charles Victor Ellingwood (1858-1924).
At some point the family moved from the Passamaquoddy Bay area to New York and the Midwest. Clarence married Marietta "Mattie" Fowler, daughter of Oscar and Charlotte (Card) Fowler and had a daughter Ethel, born about February 1881 at Eaton, New York.
In case someone who has these same or similar photographs recognizes the mother/son pair not as the Passamaquoddy area Ellingwoods, but rather the Waldo County Ellingwoods:
This Clarence Ellingwood was born about 1869 in Maine, son of Manley Ellingwood and Matilda (Carlton) Ellingwood (1847-1947).
