YES, that is a picture of my grandfather's family!If it's a "formal" family photo taken outdoors, it's probably the same one I have in storage.The mother is Mary Ann Cornelison.
Willie & Millard were born near Richmond, Madison Co.KY, and Ida & Leslie were b.inShirley, McLean Co. IL.
Wm.Black McKeehan died in 1900; his wife in 1930.Willie (James Wm.) raised his family in ND, near Spearfish.Millard was killed in a streetcar accident on a visit to Chicago."Aunt Ida" Quinn lived in Shirley IL; and my grandfather (Charles "Leslie") lived in Bloomington IL. which is where I grew up (McLean Co.).
Since Wm.B. was "said to be one of 16 children, and the only one to leave KY, we didn't grow up knowing much of the extended family; so I have only "internet" findings on your Benjamin, and some of the others.Will write in more detail, if you're interested! You're the first McKeehan "cousin" to contact me!
