As a follow up to this, the astute UKbaseballfan suggested that the photos I included of Al Martin, may in fact be of Alphonse "Phonney" Martin. Both men appear to have played for the Morrisania club in the late 1860's.

Their is a similarity between the images and the facepack image of Phonney Martin, but I am not skilled at facial identification so I will defer to the experts.

Fortunately there were two more photos of an older Al Martin on his ancestry page. So either way, we've got an image.
