Jim, I have identified the William who is Thomas L. BOTTOM's brother -- am hunting for his uncle. The William BOTTOM/S I am hunting was the brother of your and Steve's ancestor, George Washington BOTTOM/S. I have seen this William (b. about 1828 in TN at age 22 in Hamilton Co., TN Census of 1850.) Then he goes off the scope. If you, or anyone on this list, comes across him, or any unidentified William BOTTOM who might be him, please let me know. We are tied double to Thomas's brother William F. ("Bill") BOTTOM as his wife and her first husband were Steve's ancestors. George W. SNOW's widow, Mary, on 10 July 1881 married W. F. ("Bill") BOTTOM, (10 Nov 1855-16 Jul 1889). (The licence says she was 35, ie, b @1846; however, other records indicate she was 39 and born in 1842.) Bill was son of George W. and Matilda (HALE) BOTTOM. W F BOTTOM and Mary are buried in Snow Cem, Lawrence Co, Ark Betty Jim Strickland wrote: > Just a point of clarification on the four William Bottom(s) I posted > yesterday.
