I don't understand this one. You say that the photo is dated 1881. Do you know that date is 100% accurate? If so, how? Assuming it is though, you mention that "Comiskey" would have been 22 and "Quinn" would have been 19. But the boys in that photo are no where near those ages. The boy identified as "Quinn" is extremely young. He's probably between 10-12 years old here. The boy identified as "Comiskey" is a few years older, but still probably only 13-15 years old. A 22 year old is a young man, fully grown. The subjects in this photo are boys, not young men. They are young teenagers at most. Either your date is wrong or the identities are wrong.
