Unforunately, Delilah was not in my OTT line. I do know that Hezekiah OTT was from a line
of that originally came to Harrison Co. from Kentucky. My ancestor, Ferdinand OTT, came to
Indiana from Baden (Germany). There is quite a bit of history about the KY/IN OTTs
available.
Just an interesting side story. I have reason to believe that Ferdinand OTT (my g-gfather)
and Hezekiah were friends, or partners-in-crime, so to speak. While doing some research in
Corydon a few years ago, I came across a record showing that Ferdinand and Hezekiah had
both been busted and fined for "selling intoxicating liquids on the Sabbath",
sometime during the 1860s. There was also another related charge, which I no longer
remember.
My OTT ancestors lived in or near Bradford, which is not too far from Palmyra.
