Notes for John Brady Bothwell
Some records say 12 July 1812 or 1813 is the birth date. He is buried in Union Cemetery, 3 miles west of Harlan, IA.

He enlisted in army in Dubuque, IA, and served in Galena, IL, before being discharged at Jefferson Barracks, MO, during the Mexican War of 1848, received land bounty for service. It has been determined he lied about his birthdate in order to qualify for the land bounty when he enlisted in the army.

Was a ferry boat pilot, possibly for Ebenezer Seeley in Whiteside Co., IL. Ebenezer was a brother to Horace Seeley, the father of John Brady’s wife.

JOHN BOTHWELL, farmer, Rome Twp., Sec. 14; P.O. Olin; born in Scotland in 1822; came to America in 1822, and to Iowa in 1860; bought eighty acres; now owns 50 acres: at present time, lives in Shelby Co., with his son. His wife, Caroline Seely, was born in New York in 1839; came to Iowa in 1837; married in 1847; of the children, four are dead and seven are living and settled in the West; but two are at home.
From History of Jones County, Iowa, Western Historical Company, Chicago, 1879, page 643.
