Harvey and others: I am looking for Burrell #1(?). I do not have evidence of his connection to Miles except what was written in "The Bottoms Descendents in America", circa 1965. Nancilu Rankin, daughter of the author Almira Butler, has been working with me to document her mother's claims to this conection. I have seen no reference to Burrell #1 as a son of Miles in the legal documents I have found. If anyone has the documentation, please send so that we can complete this line. I have a will from Miles#1, and some information on Miles #2 Thomas. There are two pieces of evidence that Burrell went to GA and stayed near his son James Madison for a short time. There are land records in Pike County, 1820's- 1830's, and a listing for his draw in the GA gold Lottery of 1827. Richard, Brother of James Madison, has a son Burrell Bottoms listed in Almira Butlers book and Thomas Jefferson Bottoms, Son of James Madison, has a son Burrel Bottoms, b. in 1898. No doubt the name Burrell comes from somewhere-- just where is the "original"? Again-- if any one has seen the evidence, I would gladly piece some of the rest of the picture together. I am also looking for descendents from James Madison Bottoms, first wife Elizabeth Lockhart, and second wife, Eliza McElroy Hartsfield. THANKS!! ____ Jewel and Tom Wellborn
