He looks a lot like my Grandfather's (Ferdinand Cross from Shinglehouse) family I'd been researching, but no relation.

Heres a couple of things I found there on Theophilis

When they took those pictures so long ago, it took so long and if the person wasn't all that into it, no wonder the expression began to droop. Serious I think was the process.

That's right.
"Early cameras also had a very slow shutter speed, meaning that the shutter remained open exposing the plate to light for a longer period of time. Though early daguerreotype images required an exposure of around twenty minutes, by the early 1840s it had been reduced to about twenty seconds. Even so, photography subjects needed to remain completely still for long periods of time for the image to come out crisp and not blurred by their movement. Sometimes squirming children were put into restraints for the duration of the photo shoot. This need for stillness made posing for a picture a serious business, so the practice of smiling for the camera did not become standard until the 1920s, when technological advancements in camera production allowed for shortened exposure times."

Theophilus Joseph Easton, from a long line of "Esten's", married Amy (Wallace?) Wallen. They moved from Rhode Island and were in 1860 in Genesee, Potter County, where they had 15 children together and were buried together (7 yrs apart) in the Genesee Cemetery.
