Previous descriptions of this image indicated it was more likely of Frank James rather than Henry Clements, citing the 1860 census listing Henry Clements as the 5 year-old brother of Archie Clements. It was initially believed Henry Clements would have been too young to fight with Quantrill. However, in the Clements Family genealogy, "Clements Family Records: John Clements, Revolutionary Patriot" by Helen Clements, there is a Henry Clements who may have served as a Missouri guerilla during the Civil War. He was born in 1822 and died in 1900. It's possible that Henry Clements may be featured in the portrait.
