Nancy Amelia Bottomly
Nancy Amelia Bottomly was born on November 19, 1835, in Leicester, Massachusetts, to Samuel and Hannah Bottomly. Her father was a wool sorter who owned $2,500 of real estate by 1850. Her mother probably died soon after her birth, and her father remarried in 1838. She grew up and attended school in Leicester, and she married Jabez Prest in 1867. They had at least three children: John, born around 1869; Edward, born around 1871; and Charles, born around 1875.
 
They lived in Hartford, Connecticut, and her husband worked as a foreman in a boiler shop. By 1870, they owned $1,000 of personal property. They moved to Cohoes, New York, in the 1870s, and she remained there until at least 1920. She died in Staten Island, New York, on May 11, 1924.
