My great uncle Wm. CASSIUS Botkin (b 11/1/1884) was married to Blanche Barnes. I think I heard once that they lived in either South Dakota or North Dakota. Cassius' parents were Romance Erwin Botkin and Mary Eliza "Mellie" Atkinson (married 12/24/1883 -- perhaps in Iowa or Ohio, but moved to Fruita Colorado and both died there). If you have any further information about either the Botkin or Barnes relations I'd appreciate it.
