        <p>I am trying to determine the family name of sisters - Charlotte &#8220;Lottie&#8221; Nancy Myers, b. 16-Apr-1822 KY., d. 26-May-1893 Coleman Co., TX. and Louisa Bagby, born 1826-27, KY.</p>

<p>Charlotte married Isaac Walker Bills, in Red River County 15-Sep-1847. (Some records say 20-Sep, but that is evidently the date the marriage was recorded.<br />
Isaac was b. 10-Jan-1827 in TN., d. 13-July-1911 in Coleman Co., TX.<br />
 
I have no knowledge of Charlotte before this marriage, except that all census records are in agreement that she was born in Kentucky and parents both from VA.</p>

<p>I do not know if Myers was her maiden name or possibly she had been married previously, since she was 25 years old when she and Isaac married.<br />
 
She is found in the following census records with husband Isaac :<br />
1850 TX Hopkins Co., &#8220;8th Judicial District&#8221;<br />
1860 TX Hopkins Co., Charleston PO. <br />
1870 TX Hopkins Co., Charleston PO.<br />
1880 TX Delta Co., 1-PCT(Cooper)<br />
&nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp; In this, the 1880 census, is a woman who must be Charlotte&#8217;s sister - Louisa Bagby (or possibly Bagly/Bagley-I think Bagby) is living with them.&nbsp; <br />
She is marked as divorced and don&#8217;t know whether Bagby is her <br />
&nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp; married name or if maybe she reverted to her maiden name. <br />
&nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp; There were many Bagbys in the Red River County area - very, very few Bagleys in the RR County area.<br />
&nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp; Louisa Bagby is much more of a ghost than Charlotte- I know of no other record of her except this one census entry.<br />
&nbsp;  &nbsp;   <br />
As far as folks by the name of Myers goes, the only ones I have found in Red River County, TX are :&nbsp; CLARKSVILLE P O  1860<br />
Geo Myers 70 Farmer GA<br />
Elizabeth 60 GA<br />
William 25 Farmer  GA<br />
Charlotte is consistently listed as born in KY, and so is Louisa in the only record we have of Louisa.<br />
 
We know a lot about Isaac&#8217;s ancestry - absolutely nothing about Charlotte and Louisa.<br />
 
&#8220;Isaac Walker Bills, son of Daniel B. and Martha Walker Bills came to east Texas in 1846 along with all 10 of Daniel B.&#8216;s children and two son-in-laws, James and Elijah Hooten, brothers&#8221;. Source: June Ussery Bills<br />
<a href="http://www.genforum.familytreemaker.com/bills/messages/498.html">http://www.genforum.familytreemaker.com/bills/messages/498.html</a><br />
 
The Bills family had a close relationship with some people by the name of Hooten from back in Tennessee and were intermarried with them.<br />
Isaac and his parents were in Marshall County, TN in 1845-46, his parents were married in Bedford County, TN. Parents were :<br />
Daniel Baxter Bills b. abt 1797, Surry, North Carolina, Death: 1866 in Hood, Johnson, Texas<br />
Martha C. Walker (Wife) b. 1799/1801 in , Surry, North Carolina<br />
Marriage: abt 1816 in , Bedford, Tennessee<br />
 
This Bills family may have come first to Red River County and soon located further south in Hopkins-Delta County.&nbsp; <br />
If anyone can connect Louisa Bagby with any of the Bagbys in the Red River County area, I would love to hear from you.<br />
Also, any ideas about her Louisa&#8217;s sister Charlotte Myers - who her people might be, would be greatly appreciated.<br />
Does anyone know of a Bagby, from the general Delta County area, who died in the Civil War, who might be a possibility ?<br />
Surely they had descendants.<br />
