I'm building a family tree for my son. My earliest entry is for Jacob Bott, married to Elizabeth Pohlman. They had a son Henry M. Bott in 1844, a son Simon Bott in 1832, a son Jacob Bott in 1865, and a daughter Florence Bott, date of birth unkown. I would like any information that can tie these Botts in with the earlier Botts, a.k.a. Butt, over in Europe. I understand there are some from Germany, England, and a few other places as well.

Jacob was my great great grandfather. Florence was born in 1885. Her marriage license shows her marriage in 13 Jan 1906. As a matter of fact I have a great picture of Florence taken around 1890. Last year my aunt (who always claimed she had no info on the Bott family) gave me a photo album of pictures and tintypes from the late 1800s. There are about 75 pictures in it with only about five labled. Of the few labeled is Florence and a couple of Jacob Bott, I can't remember off the top of my head the others. I've scanned all of the photos and plan on putting them up on the web if there is enough of an interest. I have a tendency to lurk on this list. Looks like I finally have something to offer!
