Jim, Thank you very much for the info. I had seen the Illinois William Bottom(s) also, but filed his info in case he fit in the puzzle later. I think there is a William Bottom(s) in AL in 1840 also. I have had quite a chuckle with Nelson running back & forth between wives. The little rascal! <G> The story I would like to hear more about is the one concerning William Bottom(s), the Pitchlyn boys, and the Doctor being killed in I.T.. Thanks much, Alta

Alta: One of the reasons people went to Illinois was to get cheap land. Nelson owned two pieces of land both cost less than $2.00 There is also a William Bottoms that was a land owner. I believe he was in White Co. I have not been able to associate him with Nelson. I have the Purchase information but have not gotten around to when the land was sold. I believe that Nelson is someway associated with the Whitworth family that had some Bottoms children living with them. There is a lot of mystery associated with Nelson and his family(s) possible 3 different ones.

The Harrodsburg KY Hist Soc published an inventory of the above cemetery. For anyone that it might help here is the Bottom entries. Matt Bottom 1854-1937 H. H. Bottom 1844-1921; Elimy K His Wife 1850- Moses J Bottoms Aug 7, 1870-Sept 26, 1913 William Omer Bottoms 1887-1917 The invertory indicated that they were Afro-Americans. A point of interest is that the cemetery is on Cap Bottoms Lane. In working with other records in Mercer Co KY I noticed that there were several Bottom/s there in the period 1850-1880. Tom Baird

Just a short note to my Bottom/s "family." As many of you know, my father recently passed away. I want to "thank" the many of you for your prayers, concern and support during that time. I am now leaving to join my son and his family in The Hague. Kenneth is a prosecutor for the U.N. re the War Crimes Tribunal and I'm certainly anxious to see him in action in his black robe and white bib. I will be off-line for approximately one month from this Friday, the 24th. In the meantime, if any of you want to write me personally after that, I can be reached thru my son's e-mail: kscott@wxs.nl. After that, I'll re-subscribe and be back on the same old address. Our address in the Netherlands is: Susan Kelly Scott, Suez Kade 140, Den Haag 2517 CD, The Netherlands. I'll miss all the "notes" until I'm back on-line. I have started a data base on our family which I had to put aside during my father's illness but I will start entering again once I'm settled.

We have found that my grandfather, George Edward Layne dob 10-17-1888 was raised by a relative, Tom Bottoms, after the death of his mother in 1891-92. Any information you have would greatly help us. Our surname was spelled both ways..my grandfather eventually tracked down his father William Ezekiel Layne/Lane, Ezekiel Layne/Lane, Zeke Layne/Lane in Texas where he had started another family after "forgetting" where he left his other wife. We don't know how many times this occurred, his second wife was Augustine Layne/Lane. Thank you for any information you might have. We are trying to find out if great-grandmother Isabell King Layne was listed on Dawes Rolls, Tom Bottoms was supposed to be Cherokee Indian. My name is a Cherokee name. My father is Carl Randolph (Randy) Layne. Thank you so much.

Tom, the James BOTTOM who married Jennie TEENOR was a son of "Wash" BOTTOM and Matilda HALE. As yet I have not seen any tie-in of this family (Wash is an ancestor in our family's line) with your BOTTOM line. Details: Here is the last census record for this James. As you can see, both BOTTOM and BOTTOMS were used as his surname: 1880 Census, MO HALE, Fountain 52 VA Mary E., dau 27 TN Sarah dau 23 TN g son Earnest 4 mo MO BOTTOMS, James 27 TN, farm hand CARRELL, John 20 MO, farm hand James A.

Ollie BOTTOM (9 Aug 1894-15 Aug 1894), also bur Snow Cemetery, Walnut Ridge, AR As you can see, the BOTTOM who married Jennie was about 12 years younger than the one in your line. The on-line Snow Cemetery list does not include Jenny BOTTOM. Does anyone know what happened to her? I suspect she re-married but do not have record of anything after her husband's death and the death of their child. Tom Baird wrote: > 3. James M. or A. BOTTOM b. ca. 1840 TN. (Where in Tenn?)

Hello All, Can anyone tell me more about Mary Briggs Bottom Smith? I believe she was the daughter of Thomas Bottom b 1745 Amelia Co, Va married ca 1767 died before 19 Jan 1788 - spouse: Lyddia. Mary was born b ca 1775 Amelia Co, VA - married Thomas Smith 12 June 1797 Jefferson Co, TN. Mary and Thomas Smith may be my great-great-great-great Grandparents. I'm trying to find out more about this couple. Some family members believe that a child living in their household (1850 Cocke County, TN) was their child and our descendant. It's doubtful because Mary would have been in her 50's and Thomas in his 60's when this boy was born. Perhaps they are his Grandparents. I have a lot of information on Thomas Smith. He was a famous Baptist Preacher who preached a sermon on his 100th birthday. I have much on his children. If anyone can tell me more about Mary and Thomas and their children I would appreciate it! Thanks much, Julie Walters tankcorp@aol.com

Betty Snow claims him as part of the "Hoxie" Bottoms and I agree. I think the James A Bottoms, son of John A Bottoms died before he was 11. He did not make the second census. Betty Snow may be able to help you with your group. When it all is worked out I think we will find that all the groups in Lawrence county were related. Tom Baird

I feel sure that James and Ann are the family that was in Lawrence Co, Ar in 1870. James is living with his mother in Rutherford Co, TN, in 1850 but I could not find him in Rutherford Co or Lawrence Co, AR, in 1860 so he went somehwere. I had not looked in Gibson Co. It would appear to be a second marriage and the two older children were not Ann's. Elizabeth was at home in 1850 but she vanished also. I had assumed she had married but it appears that she both married and moved. I am not supprised that the moved to Gibson Co with your family. I feel very sure that they are all family. I expect that there were other children to John R Bottoms and Nancy Jordon Bottoms that I do not have. John A, 1829; James M, 1833; Mary A, 1838 and Elizabeth, 1842 leave a lot of gaps. On the 1850 census of Rutherford Co, TN, John R is dead, Nancy is listed as "Insane" and is living with her brother David Jordon. James and Elizabeth are living with David, also. John A is "farmed out" with the Pilon/Pllyand family who were cousins. I don't know where Mary was "farmed out". She appears in Lawrence Co and marries David Crittenden Smith in 1859 so she must have gone to Lawrence with John A and his wife. One of Mary's descendants thinks that the Martha Hight who is living with David Jordon was Nancy's daughter. I don't think so. In the marriage record she is listed as a Jordon. I think she was David's own daughter. I suppose she could have used the Jordon name if she were David's ward but I doub't it. With children born in 29, 33, 38 and 42 I expect there were others who were "farmed out" with John R dead and Nancy insane. I would not be supprised if the William and the Nancy E that you wonder about were children. Nancy was named after her mother and her grandmother. How could she have not named a daughter Nancy? Thanks Harvey for all your work. Tom Baird

To you John R. family, I have already sent this to Nancy. Several months ago, I ran across some Gibson County marriages of Bottoms that I couldn't immediately recognize.

JEFFREY Abt. 1860 - Unknown 3 Nancy BOTTOMS 1864 - Unknown 3 Augustus BOTTOMS 1866 - Elizabeth BOTTOMS Abt. 1842 - Bottoms, James M. to Ann F. Davis Jan 10 1865 Bottoms, Elizabeth to D. N. Crockett Dec. 12, 1856 Am I correct that James and Elizabeth went over to Gibson County with my Bottoms group. I show that Ann is Ann F. Davis and Elizabeth married D. M. Crockett (a relative -nephew I believe, of Davy Crockett) There were some other Bottoms that I still don't know who they are but I suspect they are related as well. Bottoms, William to Elizabeth McBride Jun 26, 1848 Bottoms, Nancy E. to B. H. Holland Nov 5 1854 Does anyone know who these are? The William is certainly a challenge since I know that my Paschal H. didn't sell his land in Wilson until Nov. 1850 and this is pre Gibson County for my line. Harvey

Debbie, Jim wrote me that he had talked to you. I am writing to you personally to attempt to make sure that you realize that I wasn't attempting to be critical of you or what you were asking. I just didn't understand the question being asked. The question I saw had nothing to do with Bottoms family but I could have missed something somewhere so I was just asking. I have seen some of the comments others have made on other lists that were hypercritical of your type of question and I do not want to begin to be like them. I hope that you remain a integral part of this group and would like to know more of your Bottoms connection if any.
