1880 census image of family from Clarke County Ala

These names are all family some kind of way. Sylua/Celia/Sylvia Todd, is Martha Lindsey Williams grandmother, who raised Martha. Martha never really stayed with her mother, Hannah Williams. Martha grew up in the Lindsey home, until she was able to stay with her grandmother. Little is known about Celia/Sylua/Sylvia Todd or Hannah Williams. Hannah was found in the 1870 census with Joseph Williamson, William and a daughter name Ella. We know only of William, whose name is William Caves. The John Todd listed was Martha's father, but Martha never used the Todd name. The Titus name at the very bottom, was the father of Martha's younger brother, Tucker Tilus. Nothing is known of him, only that he was listed as Hannah's baby son, on the 1880 census. I also found Dillie Alson in the same location as Hannah Williams, on the 1870 census. I wonder if there is a connection? This image is from Clarke County Alabama, Coffeeville, beat 13, E. D. 31, page 27, taken June 21, 1880.
