Posted on: Adair County Ky. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Adair/12918 Surname: Bottoms ------------------------- My Bottoms research, viewable on www.hovious.com (use the Search feature to find it) indicates there were TWO Josiah Bottoms' in Adair Co. at that time: one WAS a son of Abner Bottoms, and was born about 1829. The other was a grandson of Abner, son of William D.; this Josiah was born about 1856. Hope this helps. Matt Hovious
