While I don't have a physical map, the Bottoms families have taken 3 major routes to my knowledge. One out of Amelia County VA went west to Kentucky, down to Tennessee and west to Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Another group of Amelia County group went south to the Carolinas then Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas. One group, I believe the Henrico County group mainly stayed put. My group is the third and we went directly to Tennessee then Arkansas and finally Oklahoma and Texas.
