Man number 2 is David's father, Cortney Crabtree. Cortney is a brother to number 1 and  son to number 3. Cortney Crabtree married, Eunice Lorene Hill who is a niece to lady number 5.

Number 3 is David's grandfather, Ervin Richard Crabtree. He married Alta Mae Rich, and is also the father of number 1and number 2, and brother-in-law to man number 6 (they married sisters).

Man number 6, is Will Hedrick, brother-in-law to number 3, married to Nora Rich.  According to David, "Other people in the picture that look familiar are: the round faced lady with the wide brimed hat in front of number 2 looks a lot like my mother.   The young man wearing bibs two people right of number 3 looks like Delmer Hedrick, son of number 6.   The window that is propped open, at the left edge of that window is a man wearing a wide brimed hat with the brim rolled up on each side, I believe that to be "Clint" Maxwell, my father's cousin."
