Welcome to Rootschat, clmagpie.
Here’s my try at a restore. In cropping the image I’ve made the dimensions about 10X12.
Could it be the same man as in your other photo (17higherdpirs)? If so, he looks a little less full in the face in this one (16rs), a bit more drawn. Could his wife have died in between and this is a second wife or (unmarried?) daughter perhaps?

I agree with maddys and sparrett. Could well be the same man. Difficult to be certain, given the beard on one and the hat on the other hiding chin and forehead. Ears and nose are larger on the older man but they tend to elongate as we age, when cartilage frames weaken and the skin over them sags (ain't it fun!). The eyes and around the eyes are clearly well matched for one person say 40 or more years apart.
Not a dating expert but I'd go with mid to late 1880s. While full beards were going out of fashion, some men retained them from their youth, while short hair and small collars fit that era, I think.

Not an expert, just along to get the ball rolling. My estimate would also be 1860s, about mid-decade.
Regarding her age, sadly someone has smoothed the subject's face, making it impossible to give a good assessment. I'd just say it's feasible she could be one of your cousin's sisters (if our dating is close enough).
Hopefully a more expert contributor will be along shortly.
