Unknown Relatives: Who Could They Have Been?

The Mystery of Photos can make us wonder: The Missing pizzles to the family tree?   Unknown Relatives The above croped photo is apart of a family photo. The are four children and an elderly lady in the orginal post card.  I found a post card  in my Grandmother Mary Lankford home during the mid 1970's. Through the years, I didn't have a clue who they could have been. I do believe that they are relatives. I've been thinking about who they could have been. I have narrowed down to two possible families. The people in the photo fits some of what I have discovered. It could have been on my Grandpather's Dade - Lankford / Lankfard Family connections. Or perhaps on my Grandmother's Washington Allen Family connections. Either or could be the case. However, I can narrow it down to the Washington Connection. Here is how I came up with this assumption. What I know of Anna Laura Washington Allen Walters? Why do I think that sAnna and her family are the ones in the photo? Here's some of what I think abou the photo. And what I discovered on Anna and her parents and siblings.
The young laby with the hair band could have been Lillie or Virgina. They were the two youngest of the girls. The one on the left appears older then one on right. They could have been either Nannie, or Amelia. Only 4 daughter was in the photo. The older lady may have been Anna Laura Washington. Photo may have been taken in the mid 1880's. Mrs. Anna Laura Washington Allen Washington was born on June 13, 1867 to a Susan LEACH ( 1845 - ca 1888) and William J. WASHINGTON (1840 - 1920? ) in St. Joseph, MO. Her siblings were Nannie, Amelia, Virgina F., Lillie, James. A. and William / John Washington Jr. The below photo is a copy of the post card....

I'm not 100% positive that the family in the photo was the Washingtons. The family could be on the Dade / Lanford / Lankfard Connections. I don't know. The could have been neither. I was just thinking of who they could have been.  

Blessings,
