I haven't been able to find Micajah Jr. in the 1860 census, but here is the family of their son, Mastin (who had left by that time). Anastasha was Mastin's wife and the Barrys were her parents. Mastin's son Columbus Micajah Hill, shown here, was later a neighbor of his uncle William Micajah Hill in the 1880 Marshall County census.

I believe that the following is Elijah, son of Micajah, Jr. and Rachel. As I mentioned above, the location of Micajah, Rachel, and younger children in 1860 is unknown to me.

I do not know who the Sanders were.
