Bills
b. 1815
Life
Records & Research
This person is recorded only by the surname "Bills," born 20 February 1815, a child of Chester Bills (1791-1845) and Mary Day (1790-1852), per a 2006 family report. No public, citable record (FamilySearch, WikiTree, FindAGrave, Geni, or the rootsweb Bill/Bills descent trees) corroborates this individual or this specific parent couple. The only same-name/same-year candidate located, a Mary Bills born 1815 on FamilySearch (9H6M-749), belongs to a different family and was rejected; on a direct fetch of that profile her parents are confirmed as Thomas Bills (1777-1862) and Debra Ann Johnson (1778-1861) with zero attached sources, a definitive mismatch against Chester Bills and Mary Day. No confirmed findings beyond the report itself. Status "nothing-found" is upheld.
No additional public records have been confirmed yet — only what the family report records.
Open questions (4)
- The report records no first name, sex, death, or burial for this child, giving almost no secondary anchor to disambiguate the surname 'Bills' + birth year 1815 from many unrelated people of the same name. Any single-record match on these thin anchors alone would be unsafe.
- A FamilySearch person 'Mary Bills (1815-)' (ID 9H6M-749) matches the surname and birth year but was REJECTED and the rejection was independently verified by fetching the profile: her parents are Thomas Bills (1777-1862) and Debra Ann Johnson (1778-1861), not Chester Bills and Mary Day, and the profile has zero attached historical sources. Not this person.
- No public index or tree documents the parent couple Chester Bills (1791-1845) and Mary Day (1790-1852); without locating the parents' records the children (including this 1815 birth) cannot be cross-verified. A subscription database (Ancestry) or a known place of residence may be required to find this family.
- Exact birth place is unknown. The note that the names suggest a possible New England / New York origin is unverified speculation, not confirmed by any source, and is retained here only as a research lead, not as a finding.
