    Hiram Bills Family Research of Beatrice (Mary Van Allen) Bills
    Hiram has been only briefly mentioned in our family memoirs so far. He was not notorious nor a combat veteran. Instead, Hiram is felt strongly in the background watching as a guardian over the affairs of his family members. He strikes us as being one of few, but meaningful words.

    Hiram was one of the youngest children of Samuel Bills (1777-1840). He was born between 1824 and 1828 in the state of New York. (The 1870 Federal Census, Nankin Township, Michigan, states he was 45 years old 1824/1825) and his death certificate in 1872 shows age 44 (1827/1828).) We don't know the accurate identity of his mother at his time, except that an "Annie" is listed on his death certificate. His older brothers were (Ira (1809-1895), Alvah (1812-1900) and William (1819-1900). Other brothers were Albert and Samuel, and possible brothers (or uncles) Syman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Marvin of Grand Rapids. He had two sisters--Sally, of Branch County, and Eunice of Milwaukee. (Samuel Bill Will, Wayne County Probate Records, Volume 3, Record 2190)

    Hiram married Sabrina sometime before1860. (Wayne County Land Records, Volume 36, P. 15) Again, we do not know much about his marriage, except that in 1860 he had a daughter named Hannah J. Who was five years old. Not listed is Hiram Bills who is buried in Maplegrove Cemetery in Nankin Township. This Hiram died at age 19 in April, 1873, and could have been a son.

    Hiram, as his brother Ira, was also a land buyer. Before 1848, he had over 65 acres of land in what is not Nankin Township. He purchased some from his brother William in 1844, and 65 acres in 1848 from a Nehimiah F. Prudden.(Wayne County Land Records,and Volume 14, P. 19, and Vol 18, p. 21) He had a small estate.

    Just before his death in Nankin on Aril 9, 1872, at age 44, Hiram was worth $3,300 in real estate and $850 in personal estate.(1870 Federal Census, Nankin Township, Wayne Co., Michigan) He was pretty well off for a person in the period. He died a young man; it seems too bad, particularly for some family members such as Ira and his son, Edmond. They relied on Hiram for stability. It was he to whom Marshall and Edmond gave their bounties for enlistment for use for nursing services for their sick father. They could trust Uncle Hiram to take good care of their father.

    Another testimony to Hiram's respectability was his witness as best man to the marriage of Francis L. Strong and Laura E. Guest of Nankin on July 1, 1869. They were not relatives, but friends and neighbors who respected him enough to ask him to perform this favor for them.

    We close this brief study of Hiram hoping that we car learn more about him in time. He was probably very quiet but steady. His land transactions and personal wealth impress us. We will break the silence of this man soon, we hope."
