Who > is he? This is John A Bottoms and I am told by two sources that the Pilons were cousins. When John A's sister, Mary, died her husband, Mr Smith, married a Pilon in Lawrence Co AR. Two sources tell me that the Pilons were cousins one of which is a descendant of Mary and Mr. Smith. > d.

James later moved to Lawrence Co, AR with his family. I don't know what happened to Elizabeth. John A is living with the Pilons, see above. There was an older daughter, Mary, that went to AR also.
