On Behalf Of Patsy Williams Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOTTORFF] Batdorf book correction! Good Morning Merri, I am also interested in information concerning the Bottorff families. My primary interest lies with John W. Bottorff who married Elizabeth Graves on March 29, 1837 in Clark County, Indiana. John and Elizabeth had one son, John Wesley Bottorff, before they divorced, or he died, or ???? On May 11, 1845 Elizabeth Bottorff married Jacob Deuser. In the 1850 Clark County census they are listed as family #846 with the Deuser name spelled Duser. Young John is in the household as a 13-yr-old, and there are 2 younger children, Mary and David M. I need to know if the older John died leaving Elizabeth a widow before she married Jacob Deuser. I also need documentation on John Bottorff's parents. Other researchers think the older John was the son of Martin Bottorff, but I am looking for proof. A family chart available from LDS gives this information, but, of course, that may be an error. If you have any information concerning this family, I will greatly appreciate hearing from you. Family sickness prevents me from researching as much as I would like to, but I do try to read most of the emails on this list. Everyone is very helpful.

I have just gotten a glimpse of "The Batdorf Family History by Virginia Batdorf" and wish to make the following corrections (and additions) regarding my ancestor". Once something gets into print or is posted incorrectly it's pretty hard to get the ball stopped. If any anyone is interested in more information regarding this son of John Henry Bottorff & Elizabeth Hoke, please contact me. In the meantime, if you own this book, please make the following corrections. Thanks.
