Ardennes Geer Tillotson

abt 1900
Ardennes was born in 1849 to Samuel and Margaret (Allen) Geer.  She married Oscar Tillotson in 1869.  They had 6 children together: Asahel, Ada, John, Nelson, Oscar and Sabra. Almost everyone in the family lived into their 80's.  The youngest daughter died when she was only 64 but the oldest son lived until he was 93!  I would like to know how she got such a unique name.  It wasn't passed to any of their children but I also don't see it in the parts of the family tree I already have.  The other thing I would like to know is if this picture is a copy from a different picture.  The quality isn't great and it looks like there is part of a dark sleeve on her right side.
