Does anyone know anything about the entry on the wall of honor at Ellis Island: Name: James Bottoms Origin: Durham, England Panel: #50 I assume this means that James entered America through Ellis Island and came from Durham England. Someone has requested that the name be placed on the wall of honor at Ellis Is. It would be interesting to know (a) who placed it there, and (b) when James arrived. http://www.wallofhonor.com I do know through research that Durham (northeast county, near Scotland and bordering the German Ocean) that there were Bottoms families in the area in 1700's...or earlier. regards Bill bbottoms@shore.intercom.net
