NOTE: The O’Daniel daughters, Esther and Adline, married brothers, Granville
M. Bottoms and Sterling S. Bottoms. Granville and Esther moved to Boulder, CO
around 1872 and then Sterling and Adeline joined them about 1874. But the
sisters had health problems connected with menopause and moved back to the St.
Louis area.
