I sent this information to the you once before and had no takers to solve my dilemma. I found a Dora Alice Bottoms who married James W. Smith September 3, 1878 in Boulder Colorado. I went to the library this weekend and found them in the 1880 Boulder census. The Colorado Soundex only shows two groups of Bottoms in Colorado in 1880. My Bottoms relatives in Boulder and another Bottoms family from Ohio living in Weld County. The Boulder census shows that Alice, as she was called, was born in Tennessee. Her father was born in Illinois and her mother in Tennessee. Another thing that makes this unusual is that Alice would have been approximately 15 when she got married. My questions are as follows: 1. Who is she? 2. Why was she in Boulder getting married at age 15? 3. Who brought her to Boulder? She is the right age to be a part of my family except that the Illinois doesn't fit in and she is not listed as part of any of our family in the Gibson County, Tennessee Census in 1870. Does anyone have any answers that might solve this problem?
