Some Woolman Ancestors

The watercolor painting at the left, 1847, shows the residence [center building], and the store [right] of Thomas Burr Woolman.  Thomas was born 1796 and died in 1868.  He owned and ran a dry goods store at 67 Main [High] Street, Burlington, N.J. He and his wife, Elizabeth Mullin Haines, live next door at 65 Main [High] Street. They raised five children in this home, one of which was George Woolman, who was the next proprietor of the store. George was born 1837 and died in 1882.  He and his wife, Lavinia Forgus had one child, Marian Forgus Woolman. The picture to the left is courtesy of Ruth Hasler.   It is of the same buildings sometime after 1868.

To the left is a close up of the man in the photo above.  Can anyone identify him?  He is prob. George Haines Woolman, but verification would be nice.

The buildings at the right are the same as above, only at a  later date. Photo courtesy of Ruth Hasler.

The photo at the left is present day at the same location.
