This photograph was taken about 1907 in Morris County, Texas.
The seated couple are
William
F. Taylor (19 February 1841 – 28 April 1914) and his wife Margaret
Morgan Taylor (30 November 1839 – 8 August 1908).
Only six of
their nine children are in the photograph. The photo was probably
taken after the death of the elder daughter,
Mary Frances
Taylor, who died on 14 October 1906. Since Margaret
Morgan Taylor died on 8 August 1908, this photo appears to have been taken
sometime between the two dates.
William Andrew
Taylor was living in Oklahoma at the time, and may be one of the missing
sons.
I cannot
identify the sons individually, but the living children circa 1907 would
have been -- in birth order::
John
Jefferson Taylor (16 April 1861 – 7 May 1950)

Taylor (13 October 1863 – 28 November 1938)
James T.
Taylor (14 June 1866 – 24 November 1944)

Taylor (8 July 1870 – 30 August 1925)
Samuel
Taylor (September 1876 – 9 January 1909)
