The only information I could find was a land sale. Bk 15 P 161 Nov. 26 1778 Amelia Co. Va. "Thomas Bottom Jr. and Sarah sells .... tracks of land he bought in Nottoway Parish and a track which is residue of 300 acres surveyed from Robert Taylor by Edward Taylor conveyed to Ambrose Estis and by said Estis to his brother Abram and big abram Estis to Thos. Bottom, Father of said Thomas. The above Thomas Bottom Sr. had a daughter named Frances The last information I have is she was married to a man named Charles.Coghill and had children Fanny and Thomas. She could possibly be your Frances. I you have or find information concerning this family please put it on the Bottom-L list.
