Hello Carolyn, Thanks for looking up James Artice BILLS in your files. I too am surprised that I have not been able to find him (or his wife and children) in anyones BILLS lineage. I guess we (my sister & I ) are the only ones doing his line so far. These are the census in which my sister has found him so far (I am doing the research by myself because she has two small babies & no time): 1880 Navarro Co. TX James Artice (25), living with Robert D. (Dysart) BILLS & family (Robert�s) 1890 Census was destroyed. 1890 Navarro Co. TX James Artice (45), living with Bettie A. FRENCH and living with children from first and second marriages. Navarro County Marriages Index (1846 - 1888): BILLS, J. A. pg 78 However, we have not been able to find him in any Marshall County census, and his parents are not listed in any of the census records my sister looked at. I can only guess his parents stayed in TN and did not go to TX with him. My sister was recently read a letter written by Robert Dysart BILLS where he mentions that his cousin James Artice is staying with him (in Navarro County)--but I have looked at the IGI and Ancestral Files found at the Mormon church family center and have not been able to locate him or his family. I really appreciate your help. I will try to get in touch with someone at the Navarro County Genealogical Society to see where I can find the documents you mention.
