The second picture is posted on a "genealogy cousin's" site as an unknown man. Note the abundance of guns he is carrying.
I took the two faces and put them side by side and compared items like hair, ear, nose. I think it is the same man. Old Tom Starr as a young man.
What do you guys say....

BTW, if you don't know who Tom Starr Sr is, just Wikipedia him, he is quite an historical Cherokee.
