Identifications of people in picture

Submitter notes: This picture dates from about 1896, taken in IL, probably Hamilton or a nearby county. The list of people in the picture was given by my father, Carson Marshall WILKEY. The spellings of the surnames are his. There exist other spellings for KUYKANDALL and LOWREY, especially, but I believe they are all the same names. Carson's parents were [6] Rosella GARRISON WILKEY and [8] William Jasper WILKEY, shown in this picture with children [7] David Lawson WILKEY (or Lawson David ), and [9] Franklin Otto WILKEY, my father's older brothers. This picture taken ca 1896, my father was born in 1897. The people in this picture are mostly relations of Rosella GARRISON WILKEY, daughter of [17] Jesse GARRISON and [19] Holly Jane HALL GARRISON. I believe the others, KUYKANDALLs, KRAUS's, TENNISONs, and LOWREYs, are the married sisters and brothers of Rosella and their spouses and children. [20] David HALL was the father of [19] Holly Jane HALL GARRISON. His wife, Mary Ann DAY, died in 1892. Mary Ann, the mother of Holly Jane, is believed to be an American Indian. Her daughter, Holly, looks Indian in this picture. I also have another picture of Holly, taken shortly before her death, and again she appears very likely to be of Indian blood.
