On the 1880 census, Levi and Priscilla Hill Whitten have a Rufus A. Sanders living in their household. He is 1 years old and listed as a nephew. Both parents born in Illinois. I cannot find a sibling of either Levi or Priscilla who married a Sanders and had a child in 1879. Levi's sister, Ruth Whiten married Elza Creel Sanders but she died in 1848. Priscilla's sister Chloe married Charles Alvin Sanders but their last child was born in 1855. Maybe he's a great nephew from one of these 2 families? Any insights, help appreciated. Lynne
