A "Mary Bottomly married Aron Bacon" on 27 September 1854 in Posey Co., Indiana. Could this be her? Mary would have been about 18 years old.

1860 U.S. Federal Census: Her father’s household is in Posey Co., Indiana but Mary [about age 23-24] is not listed. Probably died before 1860 census?

There is an Aaron Bacon age 24 living in home of Catherine Bacon age 48 with several of her children age 5-19
Probably same Aaron age 16 on 1850 census in Black Twp., in home of Moses age 43 and Katherine age 38 Bacon

This may be Mary's husband Aaron Bacon with their 3 year old daughter suggesting that Mary Bottomley Bacon gave birth in 1857 and died then or sometime between 1857-1860.

Eliza A. Bottomley was born to Samuel and Sarah (Shaw) Bottomley on March 10, 1843, about the time her father settled in Posey County, Indiana. It is likely that she was born in Tennessee and was a young infant when the family moved to Posey County.

Sept 10, 1864--marriage license issued to James Bottomley & Lydia Jane Knight at Posey Co., IN. They were married by A L Don..ney, Minister on Sept. 18, 1864.

After the war, James followed in his father's footsteps and took up farming.

According to two letters written in 1909 and 1914 to James Monroe Bottomley, from his cousin Samuel Bottomley in Rochdale, Lancashire, England, two of James' Children were stolen by Indians after they burned his house. I believe this must refer to James’ older siblings rather than his children since the Mid-late 1860’s is a little late for indian raids in Posey Co., IN.

Troy's Note regarding Indians burning house and taking children -- Is Samuel referring to James here or James' father? James was married in 1864 and the mid-late 1860's is a little late for indian raids in Posey Co., IN. It seem more likely that this occurred in the 1830's in KY or TN to James' parents Samuel and Sarah Bottomley's house and their children Willie and Arimenta who would have been siblings of James. Regardless of where it occurred, this story made the papers and we should be able to find when and where this occurred.

1865-1930, Vol. V. Record #105. This should be a death record but an error in printing occurred and this is not in the book. The names listed in the index for this record were James and Grace Bottomly. A Jane Bottomly is listed in death record #107. Her father was Edward Knight. She died Aug. 14, 1885 at the age of 39. An Eliza Bottomly is listed in death record #666. She was the mother of Eliza A. Redmond who died March 18, 1887 at the age of 22. The father was Henry.
For the Burrows, I found only the following names listed in the books: James Burroughs, Abner Burrows, Child Burrows, James Burrows, Hugh Burrows, and Thomas Burrows.
For Knights I found: Alice, David, Margaret, Mary, Mathew, Lucy, Polly, Rachel, and Thomas, Ann, Hiram, John, Jonathon, Maria, Martin, Sarah.
