Hi Jerry. I was going back through my notes this afternoon and noticed a passage, about Bloody Bill's marriage to Bush Smith from the website listed below. It reads: "March 2, 1864 - Bloody Bill married Bush Smith, a young girl from Sherman, Texas.... Moved to a small farmhouse in Ray County, Missouri."
This is the only mention I have found in all of my research that suggests the couple moved to Ray County, Missouri after they were married. It is definitely worth checking into but I find it very hard to believe that Bloody Bill would move anyone he loved into a state where Federals were doing everything they could to torment and imprison all family members of guerrillas and where such treatment had led to the death of his beloved sister, Josephine, and another sister, Martha, was seriously injured while they were being held captive in the Kansas City building just a few months earlier.
