Female 1 & 2 are most likely, Mary (Howard) and Mattamorselous (Mattie) Howard.
The back of the photo has just the Howard Family and at the time taken this
would have been all of JPH Sr. immediate family.

Joseph Petty Howard Sr., Sarah Elizabeth (Howard) Dunn, John William Howard Jr.
It was taken in 1897 in Texas, Sarah & John Jr. left Kentucky for Texas during
the Civil War. One can only guess that they wish to keep their slaves since
they did have then in Texas.  It must have been a bit difficult since their
younger brother was fighting for the U.S.
