Joseph, I think we have a match.
1850 Greenville..............1860 Polk
William.....35..................---------
Anna........30..................Anna
Frances.....13..................--------
Murray.......9..................May - 19
Crook?.......7..................--------
Bethany......2..................Bethena
......................................Alexander
......................................Edward
I have not seen the 1860 census original.
Could the May, listed as a 19 yr old female, actually be Murray, 19 yr old male.
Spelling and handwriting in census records are often very hard to decipher.
I have suspected that Murray had a brother named Edward.
See the 1900 census record and comments below.

The 2 Donnahoo families below are from 1900 census records from around the same geographic location.
While I have no information to link these, they are possibly brothers to Murray.
Rowland, the son of Edward, listed below, could possibly be the Rowland in the photograph on Angeline's birthday.
He appears to be about the right age in the photo.
An Edward Donnahoo appears in the 1860 Polk Co. Census
with what may be Murray's family.
Edward D. Donnahoo b. Dec. 1850 marr. Sarah A. b. Feb. 1849
Rowland b. Aug 1879
Minnie b. Mar. 1882
Martha b. Jun 1884
Georgia F. b. Apr. 1887
John Donnahoo b. Aug. 1839 marr. Mary b. May 1845
