An Early Photo of One of Our Vann Matriarchs?

The above picture was downloaded from FamilySearch.com and was attached to the person Anne Hare Vann, the wife of Thomas B. Vann of Madison County, Alabama.

Now, while my own research and DNA testing makes this connection to my branch of the Hendrix Family Tree, I doubt that this is a picture of Anne. Why? Because our Anne died in 1831 (before the age of photography began in the United States). There are a few pictures extant of important individuals from the 1840s, but I doubt a Native American woman from Alabama would have elicited much interest from photographers even during that decade. Nevertheless, it is plausible that this could be a very early family photograph from our group of the Vann Family. Could it be a daughter, granddaughter, or daughter-in-law of Anne's? This is entirely plausible. Maybe a picture of Dempsey's wife, Ruth Reed (the daughter of a Native American Chieftan)?
