Jane "Spach" James

This photograph was found in an antique shop in Maine in 1991. It reads on the blank in ink:Jane "Spach" James, mother of the James Brothers and sisters - Molly-Laura-Susie" Grandmother - Mabel, Lottie, Robah Howard - and in ) by each the name: Walker.
There was something written in pencil under the ink - looks like Walker is one of the names in pencil.Pencil has been erased.

Please help identify; I am curious about this photograph. Can anyone identify this James family. I know Jesse James used the name Howard as an alias but Howard appears to be the name of a child here.
I hope you can help me identify.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

I found this lady at www.rootsweb.com
Jane was born in Forsythe Co, N.C., about 1836. Her father was Friedrich Spach, and her mother was Lucy Mass.
Jane was married to Frank James. They had 8 children, David, Samuel, Edward, Mary, Charles, Laura, Rufus, and Susie. You can look her up at Rootsweb in the World Connect section. She is listed by a lot of people!
Her grandparents listed were: Johannes Spach, born Nov. 1762, and Catherine Lang.

I am researching the Ulmers in Maine, of Waldoborrow, and also, descendants of Henry and Belinda Chandler of Provincetown,MA. Their 2 sons, John and Joshua moved to Orrington and Bucksport, ME.
