Unfortunately I can't help you out with any photos, but I might offer you
some clues as to your Disbrow ancestry. If you'll check out the 1850 census
for Broome Co., NY, town of Chenango, you'll find a Samuel and Mercy Disbrow
listed there with seven children, including Alexander, age 10. I believe
this was probably your Alexander Collins Disbrow. I don't have this family
traced any further back. Samuel was born c1801 in New York and had been
listed in the 1840 census in Susquehanna Co., PA. Also, from another
source, I was given the information that Samuel's wife Mercy' maiden name
was Coon.
I also have the Civil War pension papers for Alexander Disbrow, which I'll
be glad to share if you want them and don't already have them. You can
write to me directly at
Lots of luck with your research and I hope you eventually find all those
lost photos.
Mike
