Can You Identify These People?

I believe these people are part of the Mason family of Johnson, Emanuel, Laurens and Washington Counties, Georgia. I found this picture among my father's things after he died,and I cannot definitely identify any of the people in it. However, the man seated on the front row, second from the right, looks so much like my father, Joseph Madison Mason, that I am guessing he is my grandfather, William Gray Mason. The man next to him resembles a person identified in another old picture as Reuben Mason, brother of William Gray Mason. They were sons of Madison Hodges Mason and Mary Ann Frances Ellington. Their older sister Mary Nancy Jane Mason married her cousin George Raiford Mason, son of Henry Mason and Elizabeth Culpepper. I believe the people in this picture are members of the Madison Hodges, Henry, or George Raiford Mason families.

If you can identify anyone in this picture, please write to me (Alice Mason).
