Dave, Sorry for any confusion - I'm always confused :-). Betty was asking for any William Bottom(s) from AK, TN and MO. I just looked up on the WFT CDs to see what I could find. I'm NOT related to any of the Williams that I posted. At least not that I'm aware of. The only William I am related to is William F. Bottom born abt 1855 in TN, the son of George Washington Bottom. Go to my web site, click on "here" , then click on the "surname list", choose Bottom and it will take you to what I have. BTW - I tried to reply off line but your mail server refused my mail because of my return address jimstr@home.com. ___ Jim Strickland <jimstr@home.com> Jim Strickland's Family Tree http://members.home.net/jimstr/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Davis <dda@inlink.com> To: <jimstr@home.com> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 7:39 AM Subject: William Bottom(s) > Jim: > > Now you have ME confused! > I am descended from Nelson Bottoms, fourth child of > William 'Billy' Bottoms.
