William Carothers in Illinois in 1850, Missouri in 1860

I have discovered a William Carothers in Richland Precinct, Clark County, Illinois in the 1850 US Census. He is the right age to be the brother of my direct ancestor Clark Carothers. The census records the following information about William:

Age: 24 years old
Birthplace: Indiana
Occupation: farmer

He is living with:

Jane, 26 years old, born in Kentucky
James, 2 years old, born in Illinois
William, 12 years old, born in Illinois
Nancy, 6 years old, born in Illinois

In the 1860 US Census of Union, Putnam, Missouri, we have the following:

William, 33, born in Indiana
Jane, 37, born in Kentucky
James, 13, born in Illinois
Henry, 11, born in Illinois
Joseph, 9, born in Illinois
Mary, 7, born in Missouri
Margaret, 5, born in Missouri
Anna, 1, born in Missouri
