Elizabeth CHATHAM was my great great grandmother on my mother's side. She was born Oct 19, 1805 and, when she was 16 years old, she married Turner W. BOTTOM Jr. Together they had Margaret BOTTOM who married John William MAY. Margaret and I share the same birthday, just 87 years apart. She died when my grandmother, Mary Frances (Fannie) MAY, was a young girl. The John W. MAY family lived in Kentucky. Fannie MAY was born in Burgen, Kentucky on July 15,1866. She died in Vancouver, Clark, WA on April 12, 1950.
