ALEXANDER BOTELER - Susannah James (Jessamine Co., Kentucky)
Hi all:
Before I jump off the top of the Grand Canyon from sheer frustration over this family - - is there absolutely ANYONE (who has any solid and factual info) on this family ?(And I would please appreciate anyone responding who has actually lifted a finger to RESEARCH this family - and not just taken what the other 106 "sheep" (er, "people") have recorded on Ancestry.com as their family tree lines for this family !
Has anyone ACTUALLY DONE ANY RESEARCH OF THEIR OWN ON THIS FAMILY LINE ??(Not what a thousand people send around to one another, perhaps none have any clue as to what they are sending - - or copying from one another, and then calling it "gospel", thinking that they never need to lift a finger to reseach this family again ??)
(1)Need the names (in order) of their children - - birth order.
(2)If there are any vital stat dates on the children - including spouses (I don't need their children - - just the spouses is fine.)So I can see what I have compared to what you have.
(3)Was there an Alexander Magruder Butler ("Boteler") in the family of Alexander and Susannah James ?Did this son marry a Polly Barnhill ?
This family has absolutely DESTROYED ME for 30-years, trying to piece it together.It has been the preverbial "thorn in my side" compared to the other hundreds of families I have worked on.I've been to Salt Lake City 4 times, staying for a week to 10-days at a time, doing nothing but research, research and more research.I am looking for that ONE Boteler relative who can come out of hiding, and reveal what this family is supposed to TRULY LOOK LIKE ! (Maybe found in a Family Bible or something...or a letter from great great Aunt Maggie 100 years ago.)
ALEXANDER BOTELER - - who TRULY are his parents ??
Thanks !
Steve
