Here we have Volney Dickey and his 10 children by his first wife Julia (Hayden):
Harriet -- born Nov. 21, 1852 Mary Ellen -- born July 22, 1854
Erwin -- born March 26, 1856
Lora -- born Feb. 26, 1858 Clara -- born Oct. 19, 1859
Don Pedro -- born August 26, 1861
Alesta -- born April 5, 1863
Lucinda -- born Oct. 13, 1864
Otis -- born May 26, 1866 Julia -- born Nov. 17, 1867
Julia (Hayden) Dickey died in child birth Nov. 17, 1867. Otis Dickey is in the back row without the mustache. Julia Dickey is in the front of Volney just off his right leg. It is anyone's best guess who the rest are based on their age. It looks like the girl on Volney's right is the oldest so I believe she is Harriet.
