McGlasson, Norris, Hill connections in Kentucky

The 1850 Census for Cumberland Co., KY, lists Francis McGlasson, 48, b. abt. 1802 in Virginia, living in the household of Eliza Norris, 44, b. abt. 1806 in Virginia. Also living with Eliza was William Norris, 22; James T., N.H., 14 (a dghter), and John M., 11.

The 1860 Census for Cumberland Co., has William Hill, 30, b. abt 1830, Amanda Sexton Hill, 20, wife; James A. Hill, 1. Living next door is Eliza Jane Norris, 55; John Norris, 21; Nancy F. Yates, 22; Mary E. Yates, 1; James T. Norris, 26; Nancy Norris, 30, and Mary E. Norris, 1.

Living a few doors away is Thomas H. McGlafson, 62, born in Virginia; Francis McGlafson, 60, born in Virginia; Mary Ann, 33; Jane, 19; Susan, 20; Sarah Ann, 14; and Lucy Jane, 12.

In the 1870 Cumberland Co., KY, census in William Hill, 40; wife Amanda Sexton Hill, 27; J.A. Hill, 12; LAA. Hill, 10; M.L. (or perhaps M.S.)Hill, 6; Carrie, 2; M.F. McGlassen, 72, born in Virginia; and Eliza Norris, 65, born in Virginia.

How are the McGlasson, Norris and Hil families connected? It would seem that 1870 M.F. McGlasson is the Francis mentioned in 1850 and 1860 Cumberland census records? Are Francis McGlasson and Eliza Norris sisters? Are Thomas H. McGlafson, 62, and Francis McGlafson, 60, husband and wife? How are Francis McGlasson and Eliza Norris related to the William Hill family? Are they related to William or to his wife Amanda Sexton? Are both women dead by 1880, since neither appears in the 1880 Cumberland census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
