William H. Wilhite #15 is married to Annie R Dawson but it isn't clear if she is in the picture. Possibly the lady to the left of #14. Lady# 14 could also be the oldest Smith Willhite daughter Isabella, with her husband in front of her (James Lew Harris). The twins Jennie and Jessie are also likely the girls with the same dress in the back right.
