Not being an expert in geneology and not knowing what a group sheet is, I'll send what I know. Who knows, my little twig of the family tree may be useful to someone. The earliest relative that I know of would be John Bottorf of Flemington, Pa.. My great-grandfather. I know from hearing from my grandmother that his first wife died when the children were young, They had 3 boys - Harry, Milfred and Forrest, and 1 sister named Stella. After his wife died he had a housekeeper named Mame who was abusive to the children, and they left home as soon as they were able. It is not known if he ever married Mame. Milfred stayed in the Lock Haven area Forrest moved to the mid-west (maybe Indiana), and Harry (my grandfather) moved to Williamsport, Pa. and then to Hagerstown, Md. (my home-town) .. I did find this article (attached hopefully) from the Lock Haven newspaper. Central Pa. was lumber country after the Civil War. I'm sure that this would be the same John Bottorf because my father said that his grandfather was from Flemmington and worked in the saw-mill and had a "drooping eye". I did find 1 photo of him in my grandmother's photo album, taken later in his life. My grandparents never wanted to talk about my grandfather's childhood, so I'm sure that it wasn't pleasant. My dad at one time started some family research, but he always said that the records were destroyed in a fire at the Court House Now that my parents are gone and I'm retired, I think of all of the questions that I should have asked. Thank you for replying Harry F. Bottorf III **************Inauguration '09: Get complete coverage from the nation's capital. (http://news.aol.com/main/politics/inauguration?ncid=emlcntusnews00000003)
