One of my family puzzles is where James and Leishia Thornhill are buried. I suspect McLennan or Bosque county because they and other family members farmed near Valley Mills, they have always been in the McLennan County census. I found Leishia living with her daughter, on the1900 McLennan County census, they were in Precinct 7, Leishia is listed as a widow. From letters, James must have died between 1894 and the time of the census information. I wonder if Precinct 7 of the 1900 census was in the Valley Mills area because in earlier years they farmed in that area. In 1880 they were listed in Enumeration District 114. I am thinking if they stayed in the same area, James would be buried close by. So my question is: does anyone know if in 1900 Precinct 7 included the area adjacent to Valley Mills? Gil

According to the Ancestry.com brief description, Precinct 7 includes District 108 and 109. They include Crawford town East and West of the Santa Fe Railroad. I hope this helps.
