Notes for LAURENCE-AUBIN-CHRYSOSTÔME BOTT:
Peggy Carlin (Emilia Prundea Bott line)
shows that Laurent Aubin Christostome Botts
was adopted in 1847, South Rustico, PEI, Canada.

I think it was Dan MacDonald's notes which
showed that Laurent was actually
the son of Chrysostome Gallant and Ann Bott,
therefore his name would be Laurent Gallant
, unless he was adopted by his grandparents, John R. & Anne (Picot) Bott.

Hello Tom,

It would be very helpful if you could provide more info. The names Mary and Margaret were
extremely popular on PEI, as is the surname Gallant.

I did check my files for Michael, as this is the least common of the 3 names you mentioned, and
came up with the following (which is not at all necessarily the people you are looking for, just
something to compare with your info):

Parents:
Linus Gallant and Agnes MacDonald
children:
Francis b. Abt 1896
Bernard b. Abt 1900
John Russell b. Abt 1902
Michael b. Abt 1904
Mary Laurette b. Abt. 1906

If any of this clicks let me know and I will send you more info.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Notes for JOHN BOTTS:
Written by Ross Botts - 1950Read more about

  The first progenitor of the Botts family in America is said to have come to this country from England, but when or from what part of England we don't know.  Neither do we feel qualified to say if his coming was a loss to England and a gain to America or vice versa.  We leave our hearers free to draw their own conclusions.

  In due course of human events, there was born one Jacob Botts, probably about the 1830's.  Most of Jacob's life was spent in Fairfield and Hocking Counties in Ohio.  Much of it centered around Sugar Grove.  He was employed for some years, during his early manhood, on the Old Hocking Canal.  He was an energetic man and he had lost his right arm while operating a threshing machin.  When his children were still quite young, and still, in spite of this great handicap, he provided for his fmaily and learned to write with his left hand and did all things with his left hand although he had always been right handed.  He worked in the woods, chopped, grubbed and sawed all day long.  He bore the nickname of Fuzzy.  Just why we never learned.

  Jacob Botts had three brothers, William, John and Aaron Botts, and at least two sisters.  One sister the writer met some fifty years ago in the home of Jacob Botts.  At that time, as we recall, she was living near Buena Vista, Ohio.  Another sister married Ezra Zellars.  Ezra Zellars had been a school teacher and served in the Union Army during the Civil War.  He died at the Jacob Botts home fifty or more years ago.  His wife proceeded him in death a number of years later.  John and William Botts moved to Illinois, William later moving to Iowa.  Aaron Botts spent most of his life in Hocking County, Ohio.  He is said to have been married three times and that those wives bore him thirty- three children.

Notes for JACOB BOTTS:Read more about
They moved to Illinois on the train but returned to Ohio in a covered wagon, drawn by a team of white mules.  They used this team of mules for a number of years after returning to Ohio.  Many of the later years of their lives was spent in a two room log house on the Ridge Road, just south of the B.I.S.  Later a room was added at the north side of the house and later still a room was added on the south side.  In the north room Levina Botts operated a grocery store for many years.  That store was famous for the plug tobacco, red hot peppermint candy and dark brown sugar.  That dark brown sugar had a country-wide reputation.  Anyone could feel safe at night with a couple of lumps of Grandma's sugar under his or her pillow, for any burglar was taking a terrible risk if he attempted to rob one of those hillside homesteads, if  the householder was armed with a pound or so of that sugar.  A hunk of that sugar in the hand of a man or woman that had been used to club chestnuts out of tall trees and had stoned hoot owls out of chicken coops was apt to make the would be burglar think that he had stopped a dum dum bullet or wonder if some hilliken scientist had invented the atomic bomb fifty years ahead of time.

Notes for CHARLES MCCLINTOCK:Lineage
Sadie fell in love with his curly hair.  Charles has raised his heavy head of hair mainly we think, by reading hair raising novels.  We feel it would be a sad day indeed for the publishers of dime novels should Charles ever quit buying them.  No doubt stock in those companies could be had for a song.

Notes for ALBERT EUGENE KISTLER:Read more about
Carried same initials as father

The following comments are from his children.

Dad was a carpenter for most of his life.  Everyone trusted his work.  He knew a lot of things, but mostly he knew the values of love for his children and a love for life.  He was a very good father.  He was always loving and concerned, his family meant a lot to him.

While he was a young man he was striken with emphysema.  He lived for nearly 20 years with it.  It was a struggle for him  to take each breath.  His last months were spent mostly in the hospital.  He returned home for only three months before he died.  He got to spend one more Christmas with us.  We all loved Dad very much.
