If you have no luck with the one name, try the other. I believe that it is well documented that they were one and the same family, descended from Daniel and Elizabeth (LAMB) LONGBOTTOM, who were m. 15 Feb 1692, Norwich, CT. According to dates, your Daniel could have been a great-grandson. I have no further information on this family, and no direct relationship to them. Regards, Robert Robert L.
