My Andrew J. BOTTORFF b. 1812, and his wife Elizabeth Ann (MILLS)Bottorff, b. 1815 Shelby Co, KY, are living in Liberty Twp, Tipton Co, IN in 1860 near your Andrew J & Mary/Polly MILLS! There are other Millses there as well, but I don't recognize the other names. They are all likely related--somehow. Interestingly, I noticed that one of your Amos's siblings had the middle name of "Marion". My Andrew & Elizabeth named one of their sons "Milburn Marion". The only thing I know about my Elizabeth Ann Mills Bottorff other than what family records indicate as her birthplace (Shelby Co KY), is that she had a brother Amazon/Amzi Mills b KY as well...he died in Komomo, IN. Andrew & Elizabeth were married in Clark Co, IN in 1837 and worked their way westard. Scott Co IN in 1850, Tipton Co IN in 1860, and finally settled in Washington Co, NE in 1865 where they lived out the rest of their lives. In 1850 ! Andrew & Elizabeth Ann had living with them a Abigail Mills, age 68 b. NY, who I presume to be Elizabeth's widowed mother. Also in the household is a Louisa Hall/Hale/Heale, age 4 b. KY, whose name I don't recognize. (Granddaughter of Abigail?? Niece of Elizabeth Ann??) Do you know anything more about Amos's father, Andrew J.? Please feel free to contact me directly.
