CORRECTION!!!! Please disregard the previous email I sent about BURRELL and James BOTTOMS and replace it with this CORRECTED one. I kept saying BURRELL's brother was JAMES in Barbour Co., when in fact I meant John W. BOTTOMS (the document on my web page below is correct.). Below is the exact same email I sent but with the CORRECTION of JOHN W. in place of JAMES is made. Sorry about that. Other references to Dr. JAMES BOTTOMS on the other pages IS CORRECT. >I am researching the line of Burrell BOTTOMS. Would appreciate any >information. Thanks. >A. Hampton > >______________________________ Dear Arlene Hampton, Nancy Darnall and BOTTOMS List, I have some Burrell BOTTOMS information. A Burrell BOTTOMS and his brother JOHN W. lived in Barbour Co. AL for a while. John W. BOTTOMS left a power of attorney in 1861, in that county, when he went to Texas for awhile, allowing Burrell and his family to use his farm and farm equipment. JOHN W. leased the farm but allowed the lease to be used by Burrell in his absence. This power of attorney can be found in full on my GenTime Genealogy site. The specific web page for this document is: http://www.gentime.com/genealogy/doc_archive/bottoms/bottoms.j.w-12.1.html Another document on this site is for a list of early BOTTOMS settlers in Dale and Henry Counties, AL. A BURRELL BOTTOMS, DR. JAMES BOTTOMS and J. W. BOTTOMS and all of their sons are listed as early settlers in this area of AL. The specific web page for this document is: http://www.gentime.com/genealogy/doc_archive/bottoms/bottoms-settlers-11.1.html A list of early medical Doctors of Dale Co. AL, in cluding the aboive mentioned Dr. James BOTTOMS is on this page: http://www.gentime.com/genealogy/doc_archive/bottoms/bottoms.dr-11.2.html Since my great great grandparents M. R. (Malachi Reaves) SIMS and his wife FRANCES BOTTOMS SIMS took the exact same migration path shown for the early BOTTOMS men mentioned above in Dale Co. AL, and since they lived in Barbour Co. at the same time as the above BURRELL and JOHN W. BOTTOMS; and since M.R. SIMS moved down to DALE CO. near Dr. JAMES BOTTOMS, after his wife, Frances BOTTOMS death, I feel that my FRANCES BOTTOMS was closely related to Dr. JAMES, JOHN W. and BURRELL BOTTOMS, but cannot make the connection. Further evidence of a relationship between these families is that they were both from Pike Co. GA, along with other BOTTOMS and HARTSFIELDs. M. R.'s SIMS family was closely related to the HARTSFIELDs, Research shows that BURRELL BOTTOMS wife, Sarah, was one of these HARTSFIELDS. My FRANCES BOTTOMS and M.R. SIMS information can be found on these pages at my site: Family Group Sheet: http://www.gentime.com/genealogy/groupsheets/gp_sims001-003.html Lineage Chart: http://www.gentime.com/genealogy/lineagecharts/chart_sims001-001.html If ANYONE has a clue as to how FRANCES BOTTOMS connects to this line, PLEASE contact me. If anyone with BOTTOMS material would like me to put it up on my GenTime Genealogy site, I would be happy to present it as I have my own on GenTime Genealogy. Please let me know. I also have a nice image gallery for ancestor and cemetery, etc. images if you would like to submit.
