I was able to take a quick look and it raises some questions. I descend from (Johann) Conrad Bott, Hessian soldier b abt 1760. Is it possible that one of your Botts had a son or nephew who might be my forebear? We know that he came to this country in the 1770's and fought a couple of battles with the British before changing sides, fighting for the Colonists. He married an English woman and had a family of 6 who ended up in Ohio. Russ Ehler
