Great Grandfather Arnold Mystery

The back of the photo is written Great Grandfather Arnold 1843.  So who is this?  Father of Amos??
So the father of Amos is Stukley B. Arnold.  1801 to 1879. 
The grandfather of Amos is Joseph Stukeley Arnold.  1774 to 1852.
If the photo was taken in 1843, the father would be 42 in the photo, and if it is the grandfather of Amos he would be 69 in the photo.  So does this person look 42 or 69? 
So if it is Joseph Stukeley Arnold that would be Amos' grandfather and Seba, Seward, Hattie, Johnson, etc's great grandfather.  It might be  . . . Joseph Stukeley Arnold 1774-1852.  How will we ever find out?

Do you agree or disagree with any of my identifications?  Please let me know.  You can respond here or to jandowell@hotmail.com.  Thanks.

Frances Linn looks to be maybe 4 or 5 in the photo.  She was born in 1905.  So the timeframe maybe 1910 or so???

Beckie Zwigg Arnold was my great grandmother.  She married Johnson Arnold.  Seward Arnold and Cora Yackee Arnold are husband and wife and their only child is Louise Arnold, she is sitting in front of her mother, Cora Arnold.  Seba, Seward and Johnson Arnold (not shown, but his wife is Beckie Zwigg Johnson) are siblings.
