A "Staged" Posse

This Bradley County "staged" posse picture was among my grandfather's possessions.

My great uncle George Wesley Davidson is standing, second from the left, with the pipe. He died in 1925. Another man, Oscar Haven, died in January 1919. So I am guessing this was taken about 1918.

Of the twelve men, only ten are identified with names, written on the back (photo below).

Standing: Jim Kyser, George Davidson, Van Haven, Will Belin, John Risher and Oscar Haven
Seated: Dick Harcrow, Charley McMurry, Armster Jordan and Elzie Belin

Do you recognize them? Can you tell me which man is which? It says they are listed from the left, but two names are missing. Do you know who the other two men are?

I found the ten named men in the Census and Cemetery records:
