The photograph of Will was taken at the Dabbs Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, probably sometime in the 1880's with Will appearing to be in his 20's at the time. The photograph of Julia was taken at the H. W. Barnes Studio in Rockford, Illinois, this too appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Julia likely in her teens of 20's at the time. Based on limited research I as able to gather the following information regarding the couple: Julia Maria HANKINSON b. 10 Apr 1856 in Stafford Township, NJ to parents Gustavus Adolphus HANKINSON (b. 4 Jan 1804 in Freehold Township, NJ) and Deborah Bertine REMSEN (b. 1821 in NJ), married William Alexander PLATT.
