Gloria Leeper has the original copy provided by the researcher, Bill Leeper II also has a copy (FILED -- BOTTS, John):
...Judge BOTTS was little more than a year old when his parents settled in this county ((Howard)) in 1816. He ((Judge-John)) grew up here and was married in 1835, Miss Elizabeth, daughter of William HARVEY, becoming his wife. They were both quite young, the groom being only twenty and the bride fourteen, but their married life has been a happy one, and has been blessed with ten children, seven of whom are living: Louisa A., the wife of Dr. J.R. SANDS, of Salisbury; William M., of Linn County; John D., Fanny, the wife of Dr. Worthington MOREHEAD, and Misses Ella, Mary E., Nora B. and Emma B., all of this county ((Howard)).
...A year after his marriage, Judge B. ((BOTTS), moved to Linn County, and there lived until sixteen years ago, when he returned to this county (Howard).
