Left half of the group, from Left to Right:

Two cousins from Elko, NV (Mag and Doad Roberson) and Mary McCutchen

Mag and Doad (Margaret and Dorothy) were the youngest daughters of Mary Jane McCutchen Roberson. Mary Jane was the sister that Jim brought West with him before the Civil War. See Elko for stories about thier parents.

Right half of the group:
Charlena, JM, 3 unidentified boys, George and Ed

(the unidentified boys are probably 3 of the 4 other sons--Bill, Walt, Alson and Cal.)

And here is a composite showing Mary and Jim together. Remember Mary was 4'11" at her tallest.
