There are a few new entries and updates on my Stott website at www.stottshot.com. First, the indexes to all STOTT marriages between 1837 and 1900 are now complete. With a majority of Stotts having roots in the West Riding & Lancashire, the indexes are a useful research tool. Most interesting among the new entries perhaps are several stories on Stottville, located in Columbia County, New York. It was named after a family of Stotts who settled there in the 19th century. Foremost was Jonathan Stott, a Lancashire born soldier who had fought against Napoleon for The Duke of Wellington. After that campaign, Jonathan found himself in the War of 1812 and representing the British in Ontario. How he ended up in the U.S. and how Stottville developed is a fascinating account and you can read the details in a link on the Home Page found under "FOR STORIES FROM THE STOTT FAMILY TREE NEWSLETTER AND OTHER SOURCES...". The specific link is titled "Stottville, New York - With roots in Lancashire, The War of 1812 and Jonathan Stott." For some family tree information. see the story "A History and Chronology of Jonathan Stott and Descendants". It's a rich account of a pioneer family that became one of the wealthiest in New York state. Another new link is titled "The Stotts of Elland" and it provides source data on Stotts from this particular parish of Yorkshire. Many Stotts have their roots in Elland including some who migrated from neighbouring Lancashire many centuries ago. Another new addition to the Stott website is a story titled "The Stotts of Liverpool - Ahoy!" It focuses on the family of W.H. Stott who rose to prominence in Liverpool shipping in the 19th century. All the new entries are marked "NEW" in red font to help you locate them. Anyone who would like their Stott interests included in the list of Stott Researchers - also available via a Home Page link - is welcome to forward a brief description on their interests. Likewise, I welcome any interesting STOTT stories. Regards to All Greg Stott Toronto, Canada www.stottshot.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
