This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bottoms, Mallet, Osburn, Starr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AmJBAIB/7374 Message Board Post: I have been able to knock down a few more bricks on this line and thought I would post my information again. Information from the death certificate of Mary Rosetta Osburns states that her father was G. W. Stewart and her mother Belle Bottoms, having found no marriage record I am still looking to verify this (my father in law had told me that his grandmother was Belle Starr). I am also looking for their parents/siblings. Below is what information I have: Descendants of George William Stewart Generation No. 1 1. George William1 Stewart was born Abt. 1862 in Arkansas, and died Aft. 1930 in Arkansas. He married (1) Belle Bottom 03 November 1889 in Independence County, Arkansas1. She died Bef. 1908 in Arkansas.
