Friday's Photo: Six Men on Horseback

This photo is another found in the collection that once belonged to Marguerite Cook Clark of Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Her mother identified the two boys in the middle - "John Wimberly (Harriet)" and "Sledge" with no first name. Question marks can be seen under the other young men's photos. I have tried to enlarge the photo, but it became pixilated with only slight changes. 

I am unable to identify five of the young men, but John Wimberly with "Harriet" under his name reminded me of another photo labeled "John (Harriet) Wimberly." This may be John L. Wimberly, son of Andrew Lawson Wimberly and Harriet Elizabeth Knighton. Does anyone know?
