I've heard my folk talk about Perryville, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it were the Bottoms or the Meaux who came from there, I'll try to find out.

Good Morning Aline: For you information Perryville, VA/WV was the first county seat for McDowell County, VA/WV. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 McDowell County along with 40 some other counties left Virginia and became West Virginia. My beloved wife, now deceased was a member of the Bottoms Family from around Richmond, VA. Regards, Bernie in Northern Virginia

Do you know if they came from Perryville or Mercer county? That would help.

Harvey: Here are a possibility to your Dora Alice BOTTOMS question: Nelson BOTTOMS (b. TN 1819), son of William BOTTOMS and Anne WITT, married his first wife Sallie Ann ARNOLD and moved from Franklin Co, AL to IL around 1840. They had two children: William Fletcher BOTTOMS (b. KY 1834) Sallie Ann BOTTOMS (b. IL; died as an infant) Sallie Ann ARNOLD either died or divorced Nelson in IL. Nelson married Larissa ________ in IL. Nelson and Larissa had nine children. Marion L. (b. 1842 IL) Cynthia A. (b. 1848 IL) Benjamin F. (b. 1849 IL) Martha A. (b.1854 TX) H. J. (b. 1856 TX) F. D. (b. 1860 AR) James (b. 1865 KS) Thomas (b. 1867 AR) John H. (b. 1870 AR) Of this family, Nelson and Marissa's two oldest boys could have fathered Dora Alice BOTTOMS. As an aside, their two oldest daughters have the middle initial A. (Ann or Alice?) William Fletcher BOTTOMS is my g-g-grandfather. Nelson moved quite a bit, but would return to IL to visit William Fletcher, who farmed property in Richland Co, IL (South Central IL). William Fletcher BOTTOMS enlisted in the Union Army 24 Dec 1861, as a private. He mustered into F Co, IL 60th Infantry, on 17 Feb 1862, and mustered out on 14 Mar 1865. He raised a large family in IL, then moved to Jacks Co, TX in 1876, where he was worked as a farmer, businessman, and postmaster of Bryson, TX. William Fletcher was one of the primary witnesses in the BOTTOMS Indian hearings (1896-1902), when descendents of William BOTTOMS and Anne WITT attempted to gain membership into the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Oklahoma. Should you be interested, I have quite a bit of information on William Fletcher and his children (thanks to other BOTTOMS researchers), but little on his father Nelson and Larissa BOTTOMS, and William's nine half-brothers and half-sisters.

I sent this information to the you once before and had no takers to solve my dilemma. I found a Dora Alice Bottoms who married James W. Smith September 3, 1878 in Boulder Colorado. I went to the library this weekend and found them in the 1880 Boulder census. The Colorado Soundex only shows two groups of Bottoms in Colorado in 1880. My Bottoms relatives in Boulder and another Bottoms family from Ohio living in Weld County. The Boulder census shows that Alice, as she was called, was born in Tennessee. Her father was born in Illinois and her mother in Tennessee. Another thing that makes this unusual is that Alice would have been approximately 15 when she got married. My questions are as follows: 1. Who is she? 2. Why was she in Boulder getting married at age 15? 3. Who brought her to Boulder? She is the right age to be a part of my family except that the Illinois doesn't fit in and she is not listed as part of any of our family in the Gibson County, Tennessee Census in 1870. Does anyone have any answers that might solve this problem?

I have been in search of the family of William Artie Bottoms, born Oct. 1864 in AR and died 1902 in AR. He married Nannie E. Bohanan and Margaret Virgie Dement and was in Sharp Co. AR for a time. At the age of 17 he had no parents or guardians according to his marriage license. On the 1870 Prairie Co. AR census in Lenoke Twp. there is listed ~ W. A. Smith, 47, female, white, Keeping House, born AL S. Mordica, 25, male, white, Laborer, born AL William Bottoms, 7, male, white, born AR Does anyone have more info on this household? I also am curious about a Wm. Bottom from Prairie Co. who served with the 1st Regt. T M Cavalry in the Civil War, had a wife Rachel and a son John. There is also an A. Bottom, 35, married Rachel Fowler, 22, Dec. 30, 1862. It appears that A. Bottom is the same as Wm. Bottom. Thanks for any help or insight! Carolyn in MI

Dena, While not a hard and fast rule, I call it the I-40 corridor. Those Bottom/Bottoms that were south of what is now I-40 were primarily from Alabama and Georgia. Those north were primarily Tennessee and Kentucky descendants. Of course there are exceptions but I believe that if you will use this break-up of Arkansas, you will most likely be getting warm as to where they came from.
