There are Masonic connections with my Bottomley's as well. My line came from England and eventually into Michigan. In England Elijah was a Tailor. Interestingly enough his sons were masons by trade. There are several homes in Michigan and one that I know of in California built from the ancestors of my line. milyde@yahoo.com, if we would like to talk more.
