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.
