If I may add something to this. I believe Elizabeth Sills is/was Elizabeth
Crist dau of Jane Ann Biggs and William Lee Crist. I hope this helps.

This appears to be Arena with her parents in 1860:
National Archives 653-249, Clay Cnty, Harrison Twp, Martz, Pg 654, Family
823/Dwelling 868
27a Denney, James 30 KY Farm Laborer Not Literate
28a Denney, Elizabeth 22 IN Spinner Not Literate
29a Denney, Charles W 3 IN
30a Denney, Avena 1 IN
Next door, probably his parents, Family 823/Dwelling 869 (transcribed as
both
families 823, but separate dwellings)
31a Denney, John 62 KY Farmer $2000/400 Hd
32a Denney, Elvira 50 NC Weaver
33a Denney, David 18 IN Farm Laborer
34a Denney, Henry C 16 IN Farm Laborer
35a Denney, George W 13 IN
I searched the marriage index for the parents of Arena Denny and found
only these
two James Denney/Denny that were possibilities given the fact
that they had a 3-yr old child and Elizabeth was only 22:
James Denney md Caroline Davis Jul 24, 1856; Sullivan 1, 404
James Denny md Francis J Dulin Jan 8, 1857; Vigo 1, 405
And this would be Henry in 1860?:
Same census as above, Pg 636, Family 693/Dwelling 736
32a Sills, Hardin 45 KY Farmer $300/150 Not Lit.
33a Sills, Elizabeth 44 KY Seamstress Not Lit.
34a Sills, Louisa 15 IN Spinner
35a Sills, Samuel H 13 IN
36a Sills, William H 10 IN
37a Sills, Hannah M 9 IN
Hope this gives you a few more clues or fills in another blank or two.
