Treidel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Billy and Gary, (I'm sending this to the Bottoms list and to a few other Bottoms searchers that have recently emailed to me, just in case there is anything here of value to them so they might share) My Frances "Fanny" Bottoms was born in SC in 1824. At some time she and her family migrated to GA, because she married Malachi Reaves Sims, better known as M. R. Sims, in Pike Co. GA on Dec, 22, 1842, at the age of 18. The simple story of their life, as I know it, is that they had their first child, James Monroe, my great grandfather on 7-2-1844 in Pike CO. GA. Within a year or two they migrated to Barbour Co. AL where their second child, Mark Washington Sims was born on 4-31-1846. They had three more children in Barbour CO., Mary Ann, born 8-18-1847, John Martin born 2-1-1850 and finally little Sarah Frances, born in 1853. Frances Bottoms died on 7-13-1853, very shortly after the birth of Sarah Frances, who followed her mother in death just a month later. Malachi moved to Dale Co. Al after Frances' death and remarried Elizabeth Carter, the Widow West, and had two more children by her. Now, the only paper records I have been able to find at all on family of Frances Bottoms and Malachi R. Sims, before her death, are their marriage record in Pike Co. GA, a few Barbour Co. census records, and a very poorly written, one column biography of their sons, that was loaded with errors. However, I did some further looking around in the areas in which they lived, and have been able to do some interesting piecing together. I am pretty sure that I have found the families to which they are connected, but have not found that one piece of proof that binds them securely. There are some very interesting points of circumstantial interest. I believe, at the time of their marriage, they lived in Zebulon, the county seat of Pike Co. GA. Also living in the area were two Sims brothers, Mark and Martin, sons of Mark Sims of Oglethorpe Co. GA. This Mark Sims also had among other sons, an Allen Sims. Mark and Martin Sims of Pike Co. owned quite a lot of property. At one point Mark Sims the Younger, donated land to James H. Hartsfield for Hartsfield's Baptist Church. This same James H. Hartsfield officiated at the marriage ceremony of Frances Bottoms and Malachi Reaves Sims. Also some close female relations of James Hartsfield, Sarah and Elizabeth Hartsfield married Bottoms men in the area, Burrell and James, mentioned above in your message. Several Sims and Hartsfields of both lines have intermarried as well. So here we have tied the Sims, Hartsfield, and Bottoms families of Pike Co. GA together. Quite closely knit, it seems. In the 1850 Barbour Co. census a Mary Ann, aged about 31 or 32, also born in SC as Frances Bottoms was, is living in the Malachi Sims household. If you will recall, Frances and Malachi's eldest daughter is named Mary Ann. I believe this woman is Frances Bottoms sister and young Mary Ann's namesake. Then to compound the issue, Malachi and Frances migrate to Barbour Co. AL between the latter half of 1844 and mid 1846, just in time for their second son, Mark W. to be born, exactly within the vicinity of the residence of Allen Sims, brother to Mark and Martin, as well as a Burrell Bottoms and his family. It's interesting that their second son is named Mark, the same as Mark Sims Jr. and Sr. I have copies of a court document drawn up in 1861 by John W. Bottoms, who was to vacate the state of AL on business to Texas, to leave his farming wagons, tools, cattle, hogs and fodder to his brother Burrell Bottoms to use in his absence., The document state that Burrell and his family were quite destitute at the time and were very needy for it. Lastly, after Frances death, Malachi migrated to Dale Co. AL. Coincidentally there also lived a, Dr. James Bottoms, doctor and pharmacist and very early settler to Dale Co. with his three sons. In a book by Mary Ellen Garner, 22, she says of early Dale Co. history, Dr. Bottoms was the gg grandfather of Mrs. John Henry Andrews of Ozark and was one of Ozarks earliest doctors. In another (hand typed manual), "A List of Early Settlers in Dale and Henry Cos. AL", call number 929.3 LIST in the Alabama Archives, it lists three Bottoms groups as early migrants to the area. All three groups followed the exact migration path, from SC to Pike Co. GA, to AL in 1839, the same path followed by Frances and Malachi Sims. The first group was Burrell Bottoms and his three sons, John J., William H. and Christopher Bottoms. The second was Dr. James Bottoms and his three sons, Jefferson, William and Ainy Bottoms. The third was J. W. Bottoms and his three sons, John L., James M. and William M. Bottoms. I believe that Burrell, J. W. "John" and Dr. James Bottoms were all brothers. I also believe that Frances Bottoms was either a sister or daughter of one of these Bottoms brothers and that after Frances' death, Malachi moved to Dale Co. to be near his in-laws, having no other family in AL. So, Billy and Gary, I think that this Barbour Co. and Dale Co. AL group of Bottoms men are most probably related to the Bottoms people you mention in GA in your second to last paragraph of you above message. Since these three Bottoms brothers and their sons traveled to AL in 1839, I think they were grandsons of Burrell Bottoms and Sarah Hartsfield and the sons of one of Burrell and Sarah's five sons. The dates of the five sons seems about right to support grown sons old enough to travel in 1839. If my Frances was born in 1824, and her eldest son was named James M. (Monroe), I'm going to take a very wild guess that the above, James M. Bottoms is her father and that her son James M. is named after him (though the M. stands for different middle names) and her second son was named after Mark Sims. These are very "WILD" guesses that I have not dared taken in the 20 years I have tried to find her family, but now that I say it. It all seems to fit. Now I just have to prove it. Does anyone out there have more data on Burrell Bottoms and Sarah Hartsfield and the families of their five sons? I would really appreciate any thoughts on this and if anyone has anything to either support or refute my theories (and that's all they are at this point) I want to hear it. If there is something out there that truly disproves any of my guesses I need to know so I don't spend time barking up the wrong tree. I've been barking up trees now for 20 years and there seems to be no end to the forest.

Donald If you have access to the LDS Library there is a publication call the Bottom family of Henrico, Chesterfield, Amelia, and other counties of Virginia. by Kathrine Cox Gottschalk. This has much information on the early Bottom/Bottoms families. You will find that Thomas Bottom who married Sarah Oliver parents were Thomas Bottom and Lydia ? Nice to hear from you again.

Prior to that I received the birth certificate of her sister Bessie Everett BOTUME which stated that both her mother (LORD) and her father (BOTUME) were born in Ireland. (apparently neither being Irish names) What a dilemma! To make matters even more complicated, I believe that generation #1 changed his name and that of his minor son from BOTTUM to BOTUME in 1846 in MA. I hope some dear soul out there can shed some light on some part of this saga. Any and all help welcome. Happy Hunting, Martha Sherman Winters Oxnard CA mswinters@mindspring.com

Dear Donald: My beloved wife, now deceased was Ruth Dalton Bottoms the daughter of Wilbur H. Bottoms. Her grandparents were Robert Lee Bottoms (1863-1932) and Maggie Eugenia Chenault (1867-1953) from Richmond VA and Henrico Co., VA. Robert Lee's father was John Thomas Bottoms who married Anne Hannah Truman in Henrico Co., VA on 6 March, 1850. My wife's father always said that he was part Indian but he could not porvide any more detail.. Is there a possible connection here and with your Bottoms Family. Your response will be greatly appreciated. Warmest Regards, Bernie in Virginia.

My guess is there is a good chance that Ann Marie may be from the Armsted Bottoms lineage. However, can anyone help her with this request. -----Original Message----- From: NotACybil@aol.com [mailto:NotACybil@aol.com] Sent: Friday, January 29, 1999 1:52 PM To: HarveyBottoms@csi.com Subject: Searching for family Harvey, Hello I was told that you may be able to help me in my search.

Dear fellow Bottoms researchers, Two or three weeks ago, I made a tremendous discovery regarding my larger family tree. I discovered that two of my great grandfather's brothers moved to Boulder Colorado from Gibson County. One of the brothers died there and no one in my family realized that they had moved there even though the one brother returned to Oklahoma where my great grandfather was living. I ran across the following marriage in Weld County, Colorado and wonder if she belongs to anyone. Anderson, Charles C.; Effie Bottoms 31 Oct 1891 Weld 862 Harvey

Thought ya'll might find this one interesting. Debbie /handbook/online/BB/hvbcg.html BOTTOM, TEXAS. Bottom (Bottoms) was six miles north of Temple and six miles southeast of Troy in northeastern Bell County. The community was named for Chatham Bottoms, who arrived in the county in 1888 with his family and settled on Elm Creek. In 1891 Robert Childers gave land for a school and church. The land was deeded to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The first school term was 1894-95. Eventually a grocery store, gin, drugstore, and five churches were located at the community. Bottom had a population of thirty in 1896 and a post office from 1895 to 1901, when its mail was routed through Temple. In 1936 the local school contracted to Troy Independent School District and in 1940 was consolidated with it. Bottom was not shown on the 1948 county highway map.
