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
