(My GGGG Grandfather) William Bills, approximate guess, born 1756; m. Katy (surname unknown) Son: ( My GGG Grandfather ) William F. Bills, Sr.; b. approx 1776; m. Margaret Hill. She was born in Pennsylvania. He might have been, also. The following is from a correspondence from a distant Indiana cousin: (Quote) "William and Margaret moved from Pennsylvania to Hamilton County, Ohio, where they married. Margaret was born between August 20-October 8, 1774. I believe all of their children were born in Switzerland County, Indiana. William and Margaret settled in Cotton Township, where they bought a farm. I believe that William and Margaret are buried at Union Chapel Cemetery, about three miles from where they lived. The name of the church was Union Chapel United Brethren Church. The church is no longer standing; but the cemetery has been taken good care of. I have seen the record where my great, great grandmother, Missouri Ann Bills Hall Day was buried there. I have also found some of my great aunts and uncles were buried there. The markers are not legible; but I found the records at the health office. SWITZERLAND COUNTY INDIANA LAND DEEDS NO. 964 John Quincy Adams, President of the United States of America, To all those present shall come greeting.

By the President General J.Q. Adams (Seal) Recorded in volume 49 page 409 George Graham Commissioner of Land Office" Information Source: Joseph E. Hehe, 5 Elmo Rayles Rd., Veay, IN 47043" ( End Quote) Son of William and Margaret Hill Bills: ( My GG Grandfather ) Isaac newton Bills, b. 1818 in either Ohio or Indian. No relation to the Daniel & Deborah Denman Bills line as far as I know, unless they are somehow related to the "Pennsylvania cousins" that these people visited. I have a copy of a letter telling about the visit but no names of the cousins mentioned. My Isaac N. Bills married Margaret Courter aka Maggie Courter. I have info on them and their children. One of their sons was my Great Grandfather: Hugh Brown Bills who married Mary Grace Wilson. I have considerable info on these. My main interest is to find out where William & Katy originated from, what happened to them, and all the family info on this couple that I can gather. Thank you so much for your reply. Sharon
