Abigail E. Bills
b. 1817
Life
Records & Research
Abigail E. Bills was born 19 September 1817, the daughter of Chester Bills (1791-1845) and Mary Day (1790-1852), per the 2006 family report. No public record was found that independently confirms or adds to these facts: searches of FindAGrave, FamilySearch, WikiTree, and a dedicated Bill/Bills family genealogy surfaced only same-name-different-person candidates, none matching on the required multiple anchors. Her death, burial, marriage(s), and children remain undocumented from public sources. Audit confirms the candidate rejections are sound (each fails on 2+ independent anchors), and the dossier asserts no unsupported positive findings.
No additional public records have been confirmed yet — only what the family report records.
Open questions (5)
- No death date, burial place, marriage, or spouse/children could be located for Abigail E. Bills (b. 1817, daughter of Chester Bills and Mary Day) in any public record consulted.
- Candidate REJECTED: FamilySearch person K64L-SGF (https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/K64L-SGF/abigail-1817) is Abigail Fletcher, b. 14 Sep 1817 in Salem, Essex, MA, daughter of Amos Fletcher and Abigail S. Gale, m. Thomas D. Taylor 1840. Wrong surname, wrong parents, wrong birthplace; matches only loosely on birth year. NOT this person.
- Candidate REJECTED as the father: FamilySearch person K4VH-VRQ (https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/K4VH-VRQ/chester-bill-1788-1867) is Chester Bill of Norwich, New London, CT, b. 1788, d. 1867, son of Abiel Bill, m. Mira Lathrop (not Mary Day), with one son Orrin Hart Bill (1815-1840) and no daughter Abigail. Dates and wife do not match the report's Chester Bills (1791-1845, m. Mary Day). NOT the same family.
- The dedicated Bill/Bills family genealogy at freepages.rootsweb.com/~dav4is/genealogy/ODTs/BILL.shtml documents a Connecticut Bill/Bills line (Thomas Bill immigrant; Norwich CT branch) but contains no Chester Bills (1791-1845), no Mary Day, and no Abigail E. Bills born 1817 - so the report's family does not appear to belong to that documented branch.
- Birthplace of Abigail E. Bills is unknown; the report lists no place. Establishing the family's residence (the surname Bills around 1817 with a Chester Bills / Mary Day couple) would be the key to locating census, vital, or cemetery records. Try targeting a specific state once a residence is identified.
