1. Elias¹ Butler was born circa 1758. He married Sarah (--?--), circa 1778. He died circa Feb 1838 Carroll, TN. ^1,2

Quick links to children:  sons - James M., John, Elias, Neely, Reuben, and Joshua; daus.- Mary, Judith, Elizabeth , and Sarah.

Elias Butler left a will on 6 Mar 1836 Carroll, TN (prov. Feb 1838; wife Sarah; sons John, James M., Elias, Neally, and Joshua; daus. Mary Queen, Judah Boyd, Elizabeth McAuly; gdaus. Susanah, Lucy, and Sarah, daus. of deceased son Reuben; exctrs. sons Joshua and Neally, wit. Isaac Kirby and Thomas Butler).³ .  The surname of Sarah, wife of Elias, is said by some researchers to be Thompson and by others to be Starke, a daughter of James Starke and Mary Elizabeth Franklin, but no proof of this has yet come to light; the names of her parents may have been synthesized from names of Elias Butler's children, rather than having any basis in fact.  Any information which might identify her surname or parents with certainty would be most welcome.

Elias Butler served in the Revolutionary War in 1780. 10 different parcels of land totalling 1190 A. located in Montgomery, NC, between 1779 and 1801 were granted to Elias Butler, but it may not be the same Elias Butler in all cases². A Butler Mill is found on a Montgomery Co. NC map of 1780; this mill is located on Rock Creek about a mile above its confluence with Little R. and is thought to have belonged to Elias Butler. By 1792, maps show another mill a short distance downstream from the earlier 1780 mill location in Montgomery, NC.

On 4 Jan 1793, an Elias Butler deeded 100 A. on Deep Creek in Duplin Co. NC to Francis Jordan, which land was granted by patent to Christopher Butler in 1786 and became the property of Elias Butler, he being the heir-at-law. The deed was witnessed by Thomas Butler and Joseph Deaton and recorded in Montgomery Co. NC; some sources consider this proof that Elias Butler of Carroll Co. TN is the son of a Christopher Butler, but if the original record says no more than the above, it does not provide definite proof of such a relationship; in fact, the Elias Butler mentioned in this 1793 deed is probably not the Elias Butler who moved to Carroll Co. TN.  Review of this and other land records was used by Hon. Edward Butler to help distinguish between the Elias Butler who moved to Carroll Co. TN and another Elias Butler who moved to Rutherford Co. TN.²  Because both Elias Butlers apparently lived in Montgomery Co. NC, care must be taken in basing family relationships on records from that area.  Also, Wayne Beeler says Lucy Butler who mar. Daniel Hicks is a sister of Elias, s. of Christopher; no proof of this has been provided to date.

Children of Elias¹ Butler and Sarah Starke? were as follows:

• 2. i. James M.², b. circa 1780 NC; m. Cynthia Bennett; m. Susannah Bennett.
• 3. ii. John F.; b. circa 1782, m. Phoebe Adeline Windsor.
• iii. Elias F.; b. circa 1785 (or 1795); d. 1846 MO (Elias was alive May 1836 per his father's will, and apparently was involved in later transactions concerning settlement of his father's estate); m. Elizabeth Carroll.  He lived in New Madrid, MO on 9 Oct 1838 (John Butler sells his interest in estate of Elias Butler to Elias Butler of New Madrid, MO, presumably his brother).⁴  Cari Hager ([email protected]) says Elias had 2 wives Elizabeth Brigham and Clarah Clark; Robert Allen's data also shows the same two wives, Clarrah Clark from the data of Herbert Russ and Elizabeth Brigham from the data of Allen Pendergraft. However, no proof has been forthcoming for any marriage of this Elias or, for that matter, any wife's first name. Allen Pendergraft's data as recorded by Kathy Whitmire says "Thomas Elias" (a hybrid of two dif. people, Elias and Thomas) mar. Clarrah Clark ca. 1804 and Eliz. Brigham ca. 1835, and then d. ca. 1835 in New Madrid Co. MO; however, as noted above, Elias was apparently still alive in New Madrid Co. MO in 1838; there is much to be desired concerning the records associated with this Elias Butler.  Note that some researchers say Eliz. Carroll married Joshua Butler, son of Elias; more data concerning Eliz. Carroll is required.

2. James M.² Butler (Elias¹) (middle name Moore or Monroe?) was born circa 1780 NC. He married Cynthia Bennett, daughter of John Calvin Bennett and Mary Frances Irvin, circa 1802 (he and Cynthia had 8 ch. according to Jean Franklin [email protected]; however, no record of this mar. is available). He married Susannah Bennett, daughter of John Calvin Bennett and Mary Frances Irvin, circa 1820 (he and Susannah had 6 ch., according to Jean Franklin [email protected]; no record of this mar. is available).   James Butler may have had only one mar., to Susannah (her surname probably Spencer, not Bennett); note the discussion below.  Also, most researchers show two different James Butlers in Carroll Co. TN, both born about 1780 and both with families (click here to see the report on the other James Butler), but it is also possible that these two James Butlers are the same person and that the two families ought to be combined; note the discussion below.

Census data:  in the 1830 census, one James Butler is enumerated in Carroll Co. TN (James Butler 2022001-2100201), while a James M. Butler is enumerated in Montgomery Co. NC (James M. Butler 0111101-1004101, slaves 001-01, free colored 02-0 ). In the 1840 census of Carroll Co. TN (p. 76) we find: James Butler 00200001-01120001; assuming that this is James, the son of Elias Butler, then the following names can be matched to this data: 002 (Brantly, Clark) 00001 (James)-01 (Louisa) 1 (Sarah) 2 (unk. daus.?) 0001 (Susannah); note that this is the only James Butler enum. in Carroll Co. in 1840, except for James P. Butler 00001-20001, a much younger unknown person, prob. the nephew of Phoebe Butler mentioned in her 1835 will (Phoebe Butler is also an unknown person, although there is a possibility that she is the wife of John Butler, son of Elias - even so, the identity of James P. remains unknown)). In the 1850 census of Carroll Co. TN (dist. 15, no. 1741) we find James Butler 66 NC, Susannah 62 NC, Sarah A. 20 TN, Louisa 17 TN, with Brantly S. Butler 22 NC and family at house no. 1742; in the 1850 census of Montgomery Co. NC, the only Butler family enumerated in the county is the William Butler who mar. Terah Bruton. In the 1860 census of Carroll Co. TN (dist. 16, no. 212) we find James Butler 80 NC, Susan 80 NC (no. 211 is Marvel Butler 38 TN and fam).  Note that in the 1860 census of Carroll Co. TN, the ages of James and Susannah are both 80, in better agreement with 1830 and 1840 censuses; however, it is also possible that the couple enum. in 1860 could be different persons than in those enum. in 1850.

If the same James Butler, son of Elias, is enum. in both 1830 and 1840 censuses of Carroll Co. TN (and in fact only one James Butler is enum. there in each of those years), then a case can be made for there being only one James Butler (son of Elias?) in Carroll Co. TN rather than two, as the census data matches what we would get by combining the two supposedly different James Butler families into one, just as well as by assuming them to be separate (though the match is not perfect in either case). That is, the 1840 census can be matched to the 1850 census of Carroll Co. TN except for two unidentified females b. 1820-25, as noted above; and the 1830 census 2022001-2100201 would be matched as 2 (Brantly, Clark) 02 (Reuben, Marvel) 2 (Elias B., Eli H.) 001 (James) - 2(Sarah, unk.) 1 (unk.) 002 (Sarah E., Cynthia) 01 (Susannah); having two daughters named Sarah seems unlikely, but the full names are not completely known. The "other" James Butler's remaining sons are accounted for as follows:  Atlas J. could be the "A. L. Butler" 00001-00001 of the 1830 census, as he was mar. before 1830; Seymore Spencer is unaccounted for; and Wiley W. Butler, once thought to be another brother of Atlas J., Marvel, and Seymore, is instead a cousin, as stated by Atlas J. Butler in a post-Civil War claim submitted to the Southern Claims Commission. Wiley W. Butler may instead be enum. with the unknown Absolem Butler in 1830 (Absolem Butler: 0011001-0, with Wiley the male b. 1815-1820, and the male b. 1810-15 possibly Calvin J. Butler, who is otherwise unnaccounted for in the 1830 census). The difficulty in using census records alone in the definition of these various family groups is quite apparent, hence such definition can only be considered tentative. Additional clarifying data would be most welcome.

Note an unidentified James M. Butler, "Treasurer of the Public Buildings" of Montgomery Co. NC, certified on 28 Jun 1829 that a newly-built jail, along with recent repairs and improvements to the county courthouse made by E. Deberry, met contract specifications⁵; if this James M. Butler is the son of Elias, it indicates that James M. did not move to TN until after this 1829 date.  Note also that a James M. Butler is enumerated in the 1830 census of Montgomery Co. NC as noted above.  However, an unidentified James M. Butler signed a Nov 1838 petition in Montgomery Co. NC to form Stanly Co. from Montgomery Co. (others signing the 1838 petition include William Butler, prob. the William Butler who mar. Terah Bruton, and John Butler Sr. (unknown)); if this is the same James M. Butler who was in Montgomery Co. NC in 1829 and 1830, it could indicate that James M., son of Elias, did not move from Montgomery Co. NC to TN until after 1838 (as his father died in Carroll Co. TN about 1838, James M. may not have moved from NC until settlement of his father's estate). On the other hand, the person signing the 1838 petition in NC may be an entirely different (and currently unidentified) James M. Butler, since, as noted above, there is record of a James Butler in the 1830 census of Carroll Co. TN which matches known information concerning James M., son of Elias, well enough. Available birthplace data of the children of James M. Butler in the 1850 census of Carroll Co. TN  indicate that the family moved from NC to TN between 1828 and 1830, rather than later, and a deed in Carroll Co. TN seems to place James Butler there by 1836 (see below).  In addition, it appears that the Elias Butler who moved to Rutherford Co. TN also had a son James M. Butler.²

Although it is stated by most researchers that there were two different James Butlers in Carroll Co. TN (one the son of Elias, the other whose parents are not identified), there may only have been one.   The existence of the sisters Cynthia and Susannah Bennett as wives of James may be an error; that the surname of these two sisters was Bennett may simply be a guess based on James naming a son Elias Bennett Butler. The name of James M. Butler's first wife may have been thought to be Cynthia simply because Cynthia was the name of James M.'s second dau. (the first dau. Sarah being named for James' mother Sarah, the wife of Elias Butler). If we are to place any confidence in naming patterns in determining the identity of parents or as proof of certain relationships (and if James really did mar. two sisters Cynthia and Susannah rather than only one woman named Susannah), it would seem just as likely that the surname of his wife or wives would be Spencer rather than Bennett, based on the names of sons Clark S. and Brantly S., given names which also appear in the William Spencer family of Montgomery Co. NC. A 21 Mar 1836 deed in Carroll Co. TN tends to establish that one James Butler did have a wife Susannah Spencer; the deed reads as follows: "This is to certify that I have received from George Callicotte, $250.00 - for a certain Negro boy named Solomon and his mother by name of Chaney given to me by will or deed of gift by Hannah Spencer my mother-in-law and my mother" and is signed by James Butler and Susannah (x, her mark) Butler, witnessed by Clark Spencer and John Butler; the Hannah Spencer mentioned here is believed to be the Hannah Sugg who mar. William Spencer, but Hannah (Sugg) Spencer's original will, referred to in this deed, has not come to hand.  Unfortunately, another son of Hannah (Sugg) Spencer was the person who set fire to the Montgomery Co. NC courthouse in 1843, destroying records which would have helped greatly in unravelling these families.

Children of James M.² Butler and Cynthia Bennett were as follows (this listing of ch. is suspect, as noted):

• i. Elias³; b. 1803; d. 1803; the source of this data is not known.  He and John Calvin Butler, if they existed, must be buried in NC; if there are cem. or burial records confirming their death dates, and if these ch. can be attributed to James Butler, it would better define the time period in which James was married.

ii. John Calvin; b. 1804; d. 1804Montgomery, NC; the source of this data is not known.  His burial location is unknown.  Until some record of this person's existence can be located, it will be assumed this person never actually existed. He and Elias Butler, if they existed, must be buried in NC; if there are cem. or burial records confirming their death dates, and if these ch. can be attributed to James Butler, it would better define the time period in which James was married.
• iii. Calvin John; b. 2 Nov 1808Montgomery, NC (this Calvin John Butler prob. never existed; there is no proof of birth date or location, and the existence of this person is so far unsupported by any known public record. I think the birth month and day are the same as for the Calvin J. Butler who mar. Martha J. Hicks (click here to see report on Calvin J. Butler), with the birth year "adjusted" back four years from 1812 to be consistent with the birthdates of other children of James M. Butler, or to allow Calvin to be "old enough" to pass as the father of William J. Butler, who was erroneously supposed by Allen Pendergraft to be the son of Calvin because William was enum. with Calvin in the 1850 census of Carroll Co. TN. Researchers are cautioned to use Allen Pendergraft's notes, or any notes or published material referencing them, with the greatest caution, understanding that they cannot be correctly interpreted without knowing exactly how Allen recorded them - that is, he wrote his guesses and suppositions (of which there were many) in pencil, as a guide for his own future research, while he used ink for data he had gotten elsewhere or of which he was more certain; this he explained in a letter to me.  The problem which now exists is that pencil cannot be distinguished from ink in any copies of his notes (rendering the notes inaccurate in many places, in spite of the references he cites).  Calvin J. Butler's marriage to a Mary Johnson in 1828 is not proven; in fact, there is likely no such person as Mary Johnson - proof of this marriage has never been provided, and the existence of "Mary Johnson" is believed to have been an unsupported theory of Allen Pendergraft, based on the erroneous notion that the William J. Butler enumerated with Calvin J. Butler in the 1850 census of Carroll Co. TN was the son of Calvin, and the supposition that the middle name of William J. Butler was Johnson, hence suggesting Johnson as the maiden name of his mother. Again, error is upon error, and the results have unnecessarily confused many researchers.  In fact, Martha Jane Hicks is the first known wife of Calvin Butler, and Elijah Butler b. 1837 is their first child. William J. Butler b. 1840, d. 1864 is thought to be the son of Thomas E. Butler, not Calvin Butler; this is supported by Carroll Co. TN court records which name Thomas E. as the guardian of William J.'s children).⁶ Some researchers have stated, also without proof, that this Calvin J. Butler is a son of John F. Butler (son of Elias) or of  Thomas Butler (parents unknown).

 
• iv. Sarah Elizabeth; b. 1811.  R. Allen sated that she was b. & d. 1806.
• 11. v. Cynthia, m. Joshua Brumbelow; b. circa 1812 SC.  Other researchers connect Cynthia to a different Butler family; her birth in SC would support this.
• 12. vi. Elias Bennett, b. 13 Jan 1813 Montgomery, NC; m. Eliza Gaston.
• 13. vii. Eli Horatio, b. circa 1815 NC; m. Susan M. Messer; m. Caroline Ross.

Some sources include children Joshua M., John (or John Calvin), and Thomas E., but there is no specific evidence for any of these 3, particularly for the supposed son John Calvin Butler. The details associated with the non-existent person John Calvin Butler actually apply loosely to a real person named Calvin J. Butler; however, no proof of the identity of the parents of Calvin J. Butler has ever come to light. Around 1980, researcher Allen Pendergraft incorrectly concluded that Calvin J. Butler was actually named John Calvin Butler; Mr. Pendergraft also moved Calvin's birthdate several years back in time to account for non-existent marriages erroneously attributed to Calvin. Mr. Pendergraft was fond of using rather strict naming rules, which he had devised, to make tentative guesses concerning the names of unknown parents and grandparents (using the given names of children); occasionally he also "corrected" the names of persons who, so he believed, went by their middle names rather than their first names. For example, he occasionally theorized that someone known in adulthood as "Henry John Smith" might have actually been named "John Henry Smith", but chose to go by his middle name Henry in order to avoid being confused with other persons named John Smith. Or, if the oldest son in a family were named Henry John Smith, Mr. Pendergraft would tentatively note on the working copies of his family group sheets that the mother's surname was John until he found other information to the contrary. Unfortunately, copies of his working family group sheets, which he freely made available to other researchers and which often contained such unproven suppositions, are in several libraries around the country and have been incorporated into the records of numerous genealogists and also into several published works, with the result that his suppositions are now considered "facts". In the specific case of Calvin J. Butler, there is no record that Calvin ever went by anything other than Calvin, Calvin J., or C. J. Butler; nowhere is he called John, and in fact it is more likely that his middle name is Jones and his namesake the famous NC general and land owner Calvin Jones (sons in many families located in NC, TN, and elsewhere were named after Calvin Jones and his brother Atlas Jones; instances of this in the American South are nearly as numerous as those where sons are named after beloved divines such as Lorenzo Dow, James O'Kelly, John Calvin, or Martin Luther). At best, Mr. Pendergraft's ad-hoc naming rules could perhaps be used to suggest avenues for further research, but their results cannot be accepted as proof of anything. Anyone using such data should independently verify all information before sharing their own research with others, especially through formal publication.

Evidence that Wm. L., Martha W., and Judith J. were ch. of John is not available. The 1830 census of Montgomery Co. NC (not Carroll Co. TN) lists a John Butler 11100001-0112101; assuming that son William L. is already living separately, this listing can account for Martha W. and Judith but leaves the other 3 males and 4 females unidentified. Note that the only 1830 census listing for a John Butler in Carroll Co. TN is 00001-100100001, which doesn't match the age of John, son of Elias. The listing for John Butler in the 1840 census of Carroll Co. is 00110001-00010001, agreeing with approx. birthyear of 1782 and indicates a wife still living and possibly 3 ch. b. after 1820, also currently unidentified, bringing the total of unidentified children associated with John Butler to 6; some of those enumerated may be grandchildren or other persons, however. Also, it is possible that John Butler was estranged from his children later in life, as he is living with other Butler families in 1850 and 1860, so those later censuses provide no additional information concerning his family. He apparently left no will.

More census discussion:  John Butler may have appeared on the census of 1810  in Montgomery, NC (p. 575: J. Butler 30010-10010; although no John Butler is explicitly listed in this county in 1810, this J. Butler may be John Butler, as he is listed relatively close to (on the page before) E. Butler 11101-10201, supposed to be John's father Elias Butler). Also note a John Butler 1110001-0112101, no slaves, in 1830 census of Montgomery Co. NC, which agrees with the 1840 census in Carroll Co. TN in several respects and so could tentatively considered to be the same family. As noted above, a John Butler is enumerated in Carroll Co. TN in 1830 (John Butler 00001-100100001), but this data doesn't match the age of John, son of Elias, or his 'known' family and this John Butler is so far unidentified. Other evidence, such as the mar. location for his dau. Martha and birthplaces of Martha's children, suggests that John Butler did not leave the Montgomery Co. NC area until just prior to 1840, perhaps after his fathers's 1838 death or estate settlement in Carroll Co. TN; John's brother James may also have not left NC until about this time. Additional information such as land records should be analyzed to better determine when they moved and to minimize confusion between these families and others in Carroll Co. TN and Montgomery Co. NC. He appeared on the census of 1840 Carroll, TN (p. 74: John Butler 00110001-00010001). He was enumerated with Joshua Butler in 1850 Carroll, TN, where his age was recorded as 67.  In 1860 he was age 74 (enum. with Jackson Jones, who married Elizabeth Bruton Butler).

He was also known as Nathaniel Cornelius Butler, but the name Nathaniel Cornelius is doubtful as there are no known records in which Neely Butler's given name is recorded as Nathaniel or Cornelius. Because Neely can be a nickname for both Nathaniel and Cornelius, it is thought that someone simply guessed that Neely's name might be one or the other; it is unlikely that either apply, much less both. It is most likely Neely after the Neely family, members of which lived in Rowan Co. NC (also Andrew Neely m. Agnes Stewart 3 Dec 1799 Guilford Co. NC and was in Carroll Co. TN bef. 1830). The name is also see as Neeley/Nealy/Nealey. He appeared on the census of 1840 Carroll Co. AR (Prairie tsp.: Neeley Butler 2101201 - 1011001). He appeared on the census of 1850 Prairie tsp.,, Carroll, AR. He appeared on the census of 1860 Hickory tsp.,, Carroll, AR. He and Wilson Sutton Butler appeared on the census of 1870 James tsp.,, Stone, MO (1870: Wilson's sons Elbert N. and James L. are next door).

The origin of Amy Arina Ozier's given name is not known. Several alternate spellings are seen in period records. It is possible that it is a variant of a Dutch name - Annetje Arians Van Amsterdam (Annetje, dau. of Arian from Amsterdam) was a name mentioned by a Robert A. Jackson in a Rootsweb Review article ca. July 2000; he says such a person was wife of a Jacob Jansen Van Etten, a Dutchman who came to America ca. 1650. Mr. Jackson gave one alternate spelling as Annetie Ariaans. Anna or Anny (i.e., Annetie) is sometimes misread as Amy. Variations of this given name are found in a number of families in the American South, perhaps as a result of the Van Etten (Vaneaton) family migrating there. However, no relationship between the Ozier or Martin families and the Van Etten family is currently known.

Amy Arina Ozier was b. 27 Sep 1799 NC, the daughter of Louis Ozier Jr. (b. 7 Jun 1753 London, ENG, d. 13 Nov 1820 Charleston, SC) and Susannah Martin (b. 1764, d. 14 Nov 1827 Charleston, SC) who were mar. 2 Oct 1783. Louis Ozier Jr. was the son of Louis Ozier Sr. (b. 17 Jul 1726, Moncoutant, Lower Poitou, France, d. 8 Oct 1780 Charleston, SC) and Catherine Creuze (b. 12 Dec 1732, d. 17 Jul 1808, Hackney, Middlesex, England) who were mar. 15 Jul 1751 at St. John's Church, Hackney, London, England. The surname Ozier was earlier spelled Ogier and perhaps Auget. The Louis Ozier Sr. family emigrated from England to America Feb 1774; they were noted as passengers on the ship Union (London to North Carolina) as follows: Lewis Ogier 47, London, weaver, wife Catherine 40, children Thomas 20 silk weaver, Lewis 19 silk weaver, Catherine 16 spinster, Lucy 13 spinster, Charlotte 9 spinster, John 8 schoolboy, Mary 6 spinster, Peter 5 schoolboy; also on board were John Machlin/Macklin 24, Oxford (to settle), gentleman, wife Mary 23; and David Wilson 38, London, merchant (on business). Also note a William Wilson 38, planter, London arrived on the ship Carolina during Jan 1774 with George Ogier 15, London, planter, who may have also been another son or other relative of Louis Ogier Sr.

Children of Neely² Butler and Amy Arina Ozier were as follows:

• 39. i. Wilson Sutton³, m. Margaret P. Dedman; b. 23 Aug 1819 NC.
• 40. ii. Rev. Martin J. Sr., b. circa 1820 NC; m. Elizabeth J. Davis.
• iii. Sarah; b. 1820 NC.
• 41. iv. Melissa Ann, b. 2 Jun 1824 NC; m. Rev. George Washington Baines.
• 42. v. Temperance, m. James Riley Dawson; b. 1826.
• vi. Sarah Elizabeth; m. James Paxton; b. 1828.
• 43. vii. John Quincy Adams, m. Elizabeth Stanley; b. 9 Feb 1831 TN.
• 44. viii. Joel Christopher Ozier, m. Mary Jane Donaldson; b. 1834 TN.
• ix. William O.; b. 1838 TN (AR in 1850 census, MO in 1860).
• x. Amy Adeline; m. Hartwell P. Dedman, son of Seneca A. Dedman and Obedience Pool;⁸ b. 1841 Carroll, AR. She and Amy Arena Butler (below) could be same person?
• xi. Amy Arena; b. 1842 AR.  She sometimes seen as Anna Arena, but handwriting in 1860 census is most likely Amy rather than Any. She and Amy Adeline Butler could be same person? She appeared on the census of 1860 Carroll, AR with her parents.
• xii. Nealy T.; b. circa 1843 Carroll, AR.

It is doubtful that Reuben, son of Elias, is the same person as Reuben, the first husband of Mary Butler who later married John Jordan, although from separate sources it is known that each had 3 daughters, the names of which are nearly identical. The daus. of Reuben, son of Elias, are identified in Elias' 1838 will in Carroll Co. TN; the will does not state where these grandchildren resided, so it would more likely be Carroll Co. TN where the will was written and filed, rather than Montgomery Co. NC. Susan Butler, said to be the widow of Reuben (son of Elias), maiden name unknown, mar. William Morris and moved to Barry Co. MO. after 1840, and her dau. Susan Butler mar. Turner Hale, while the other two daus. are so far unaccounted for.

The three daus. of the Reuben who mar. Mary Butler (dau. of Thomas and Mary Butler) are identified on p. 12 of the autobiography of Mary Butler's son Rev. F. M. Jordan, whose father was John Jordan who mar. ca 1825 Reuben Butler's widow Mary Butler; these three daus. of Reuben Butler and Mary Butler all married and lived in Montgomery Co. NC - Susan mar. Walter Alvis Jordan, Lucy mar. Hiram Allen, and Sarah mar. Lovin Richardson. John Jordan died in 1843 when his wife Mary was about 46; his widow Mary Jordan, stayed on in the Little River area of Montgomery Co. NC and later died in Orange Co. NC at the home of her son F. M. Jordan. This Mary Butler, widow of Reuben Butler and John Jordan, did not marry a William Morris and did not live in MO. William Morris and his wife Susan, widow of Reuben Butler (son of Elias) moved aft. 1840 from Carroll Co. TN to east side of Kings River, White River tsp. (near present Royale Point), Barry Co. MO; about 1852-53 they sold this property to her dau. Sarah (Butler) Hale and husband Turner Hale. The key to this affair might be found in such TN or MO records; perhaps the 'Susan Butler' who mar. William Morris was one of the daus. of Reuben Butler, rather than his widow. However, this still requires that a dau. of Reuben Butler be in Carroll Co. TN, and birthdates of William Morris' ch. by 'Susan Butler' require that she be born 1815 or earlier.

Note the following concerning a Reuben Butler in VA records (Henley's Index), which might eventually be of use in sorting out various Reuben Butlers:

1. Married- On Thursday, the 21st inst., Mr. Reuben Butler, to Miss Elizabeth Ruffin, both of Surry county. (p. 3, c. 3) - from Virginia Argus of Saturday, November 30, 1805.
2. Died- On January 20, at the house of John Pemberton in King William County, Maj. Reuben Butler, formerly a resident of North Carolina. In seven days he would have completed his 78th year. (p. 3, c. 5) - from the Richmond (VA) Enquirer of Saturday, January 31, 1829 [this would mean b. Jan or Feb 1751]; the Raleigh (NC) Register also records his death in the 6 Feb 1929 issue.
3. Died- In Norfolk on Sept. 3, Reuben Butler, oldest son of the late Reuben Butler, of Surry County, in his 47th year. (p. 1, c. 5) - from Richmond Whig of Friday, September 21, 1855.

Children of Reuben² Butler and Susan (--?--) were as follows:

• 45. i. Sarah³, m. Turner Ogborn Hale; b. 1817 NC.
• ii. Susannah; b. before 1836.  Some sources say this is Susannah Adaline Butler b. ca. 1835 TN who mar. David Hassell (they res. Gibson Co. TN 1870), but the birthyear of 1835 is about 10 years after the supposed death date of her father given by some researchers, and it seems odd that Susannah would be in TN while her mother Susan and stepfather William Morris were in MO, and had been for some time. Even if her father was Reuben Butler, and he did not die until shortly before his father Elias wrote his will in 1836, the birthdate seems far removed from her sister Sarah's birthyear of 1817. Also note that she is b. TN, when her father Reuben is thought to have d. in NC before the Butlers moved to TN, since there are no known records placing him in TN.  The daus. of Reuben, the son of Elias, are identified in Elias' will; Reuben's widow said to be Susan Butler who mar. next William Morris and moved from TN to MO in 1838. The daus. of the Reuben who mar. Mary Butler (dau. of Thomas and Mary Butler), are identified by F. M. Jordan in his diary. This latter Mary Butler did not marry a William Morris; her second mar. was to John Jordan, whom she survived.
• iii. Lucy; b. before 1836.  The daus. of Reuben, the son of Elias, are identified in Elias' will; Reuben's widow said to be Susan Butler who mar. next William Morris and moved from TN to MO in 1838. The daus. of the Reuben who mar. Mary Butler (dau. of Thomas and Mary Butler), are identified by F. M. Jordan in his diary. This latter Mary Butler did not marry a William Morris; her second mar. was to John Jordan, whom she survived.

Some say this Joshua is the son of John F., son of Elias. Further confusion is added since Joshua, son of Elias, may have been called Daniel Butler (his middle name) rather than Joshua in some records. Both a Daniel and a Joshua are in both 1830 and 1840 censuses of Carroll Co. TN; the census for Joshua in both cases matches the Joshua Butler who mar. Drucilla Blount, while the identity of the Daniel Butler in 1830 and 1840 remains unknown.

Children of Joshua Daniel² Butler and Mary Drucilla Blount were as follows:

• 46. i. Adeline S.³, b. 1831; m. James Marshall Spellings.
• 47. ii. Lovey Ann, m. Miles Eugene Sedberry; b. 30 Jun 1833.
• 48. iii. Juda C., b. 1836; m. William A. Britt.
• iv. Sarah L.; bur. Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; b. 2 Jan 1838; m. John W. Swearingen 10 Jan 1855 (5 ch); d. 16 May 1880 at age 42.
• 49. v. Henry H., b. 24 May 1840Carroll, TN; m. Susan Hicks Medearis.
• vi. Franklin John; b. 1842; d. 1 Oct 1862 Savannah, Chatham, GA (while a prisoner of war).  He served in the Civil War, enlisted on 20 Aug 1862 Carroll, TN.
• vii. Elias Gray; bur. Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; b. 25 Jan 1844 Carroll, TN; d. 9 Jan 1869 at age 24 (murdered; another source says 9 May 1886).  He enlisted 7th TN Cav USA on 20 Aug 1862 Carroll, TN.
• viii. Elizabeth D.; m. William C. Royal; b. 1846.
• ix. Eliza P.; bur. Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; b. 31 Oct 1848; d. 27 Apr 1871 at age 22.
• 50. x. Isaac Granville, b. 30 May 1850 Buena Vista, Carroll, TN; m. Sarah Bell Kirk.
• xi. Louisa Ann; b. 1851.
• 51. xii. Marilyn L., b. 1853 TN; m. John Durol Gooch; m. Joel Oliver Butler.
• xiii. Melissa Ann; bur. Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; b. 25 Jan 1856; d. 6 Feb 1863 at age 7 (per R. Allen's Oak Grove cem. records; another source says 6 Nov 1865).

She and James Bobbitt appeared on the census of 1860 Carroll, TN (1860, dist. 18, no. 481: James Bobbitt 72 NC, Sarah Bobbitt 54 NC, Sarah Boyd 16 TN, Robert T. Boyd 15 TN; no. 482 is Alfred Bobbitt and fam).

Children of Sarah² Butler and Thomas R. Boyd all b. TN, were as follows:

• i. Elias Butler³; b. 1825.
• 52. ii. Elizabeth, m. William Sanders; b. 1829.
• iii. William H.; b. 1831.
• iv. Judith Elentine; b. 1836.  She m. Marion Jones per Sherman Boyd records. She and Ida Boyd may be same person (m. Marion Jones) but not sure of correct parents.
• v. Martin Province; b. 1838.  Note that Green Butler d. 1838, possible son of Thomas E. Butler, mar. a Zetha Province (both were apparently minors when Green Butler died). Or is it pos. that Martin Boyd's middle name is Provine rather than Province?
• vi. Jabez T.; b. 1842; m. Emily Amanda Pinkston, daughter of Stephen D. Pinkston and Angeline Bracken, 23 Aug 1868, may have had 2 ch. Joshua and Florence. He served in the Civil War.
• 53. vii. Sarah Catherine, b. 23 Mar 1843; m. Phillip Thompson Butler.
• viii. Robert Turner; m. Lancy (--?--) (his 2nd); b. 1845; m. Martha G. Jones 1861 (his 1st), 2 ch. Elah b. 1875, Mary b. 1876. He served in the Civil War.

11. Cynthia³ Butler (James², Elias¹) married Joshua Brumbelow (6 ch. in 1840, additional 2 in 1830). She was born circa 1812 SC. She died circa 1852 AR (another source says d. 1853).

She and Joshua Brumbelow appeared on the census of 1850 Hempstead, AR (Bodcan tsp., no. 50: Joshua Brumbelow 65 NC, Cynthia 38 SC, and ch. listed below).She 1850 census of AR gives her birthplace as SC (note that no other Butler in the 18th dist. of Carroll Co. TN was born in SC, but many people in the 8th dist. were from SC). Identity of her parents is questionable - data of Carl D. Ward says Cynthia (mar. Joshua Brumbelow) is a sibling of the SC Butlers in Carroll Co. TN - i.e., John b. 1798, William b. 1800, Mary b. Apr 1802, Sarah b. Oct 1808, Thos. Christopher b. 1810 (mar. 1st Margaret Mary Brumbelow), Horatio b. 16 Dec 1815, and James C. b. 1820, all ch. of John Butler b. ca. 1770 and Mary Shoats b. ca. 1770. Carl Ward says the parents John and Mary Butler both d. in Carroll Co. TN, John ca. 1830 and Mary ca. 1840; several of their children lived in the 8th dist. of Carroll Co. TN and later moved to Hempstead Co. AR, while no Butlers from the 18th dist. are known to have moved to that county. I believe that Cynthia has been mistakenly listed as a child of James Butler, son of Elias; accordingly, I have changed my study database and also included Cynthia Butler in the report on Butlers born in South Carolina added to this site after the last revision of this Elias Butler report. When this report on Elias Butler undergoes its next major revision, Cynthia will be only be mentioned in a note.

Children of Cynthia³ Butler and Joshua Brumbelow all b. TN, were as follows:

• i. James A.⁴; b. 1832.
• ii. Sarah; b. 1834.
• iii. Elisabeth A.; b. 1836.
• iv. Caroline; b. 1840.
• v. William L.; b. 1842.
• vi. Margaret; b. 1844.
• vii. Lennessie; b. 1846.  Her name on census was difficult to read; it may have been intended as "Lincey" or similar, or Tennessee.

He may have an earlier mar. to Julie Ann _?_, by whom he may have had 4 ch. James b. 1831, M. (male) b. 1832, Cynthia b. 18334, and Elias b. 1838; however, the name Julie Ann may be a guess by Allen Pendergraft based on the name of the first dau. born to Elias' (2nd?) wife Eliza. Yates vol. 4 p. 21 says m. 1840 Eliza Gustine JORDAN b. 1821; she may have mar. 1st Enoch Jordan, although this may be a guess by Allen Pendergraft based on the name of the first son born to Elias and Eliza. Some birthdates of children may be inaccurate as to day or month - sources (Allen Pendergraft, Kathy Whitmire, R. Allen) do not agree, and this family is poorly documented.¹⁰ He and Eliza Gaston appeared on the census of 10 Nov 1850 Marshall, MS (1850, southern div., no. 717: E. B. Butler 37 NC, Eliza 28 NC, William G. 7 MS, Julia Ann 5 MS, E. Z. T. 2 MS, James M. 3/12 MS; also, a J. C. Butler 28 NC and fam. are at no. 790).

Children of Elias Bennett³ Butler and Eliza Gaston were as follows:

• i. Enoch Jordan⁴; b. 14 Oct 1841 MS (he may have d. young; he is not listed in 1850 census with parents, and a younger brother is also named Enoch. Or perhaps he is not a son of Elias Butler).  Although R. Allen says he m. Artimisco (Artimesia) F. Whitney Mar. 10, 1863 Carroll Co. TN, the mar. date is wrong and should be Mar. 10, 1869, and the Jordan Butler who mar. Artimesia Whitney is not this Enoch Butler but is Jordan Butler, a son of Wiley Butler, who is living next door to Wiley's widow Nancy in 1870.
• 54. ii. William G., m. Nancy P. (--?--); b. 7 Oct 1843 MS.
• iii. Julia Ann; b. 10 Aug 1846 MS (age 5 in 1850 census); m. Anderson Higginbotham 18 Jun 1861.¹⁰
• iv. Enoch Zachary Taylor; b. 11 Sep 1848 MS; m. Rebecca Long 15 Feb 1877.
• v. James M.; b. 13 Apr 1850 MS.  Some sources give middle name as Moore, as is also guessed to be the middle name of James M. Butler, son of Elias..
• vi. Newton Jasper; b. 13 Dec 1851MS.
• 55. vii. John Calvin, m. Emma (--?--); b. 10 Jan 1854 MS.
• 56. viii. Albert, b. 1858 MS; m. Victory Jane (--?--).
• ix. Katherine Elizabeth; b. 1 Dec 1862 Tate, MS; m. James Washington Smith 19 Dec 1877 Tate, MS (g-gparents of Jean Franklin [email protected] and Kathy Whitmire [email protected]);¹¹ d. 2 Sep 1932 Oden, Montgomery, AR, at age 69.¹²

He may have also had a dau. Catherine b. ca. 1854.

Children of Eli Horatio³ Butler and Susan M. Messer were as follows:

• 57. i. Sophia Arget⁴, b. 28 Oct 1839 TN; m. William Allen Pierce.
• ii. Jahue J.; (some say Jones J., may be misreading of 1860 census); b. 1842.  He listed as Jones J. Butler in one census.
• iii. Mary Jane; b. 1846.
• iv. Gasten P.; m. Nancy F. (--?--); b. 1848.  Name also seen as Gustin, Gaulston; could it be Gaston? He is not to be confused with Marvel Butler's son Galston. He appeared on the census of 1870 15th distr., no. 76,, Carroll, TN (may be Gaston; (looks like Gordon) age 20 with Francis age 19 and twins Louella and Louodie age 7/12).
• 58. v. James Levi, b. 3 Dec 1851; m. Laura Reeder, later divorced; m. Vandella Garrett.
• vi. Thomas; b. 1856.
• vii. Harriet Gardner; (sometimes spelled Gardener); b. 6 Oct 1858 Buena Vista, Carroll, TN; m. Wiley Byrd King, son of Jeremiah King and Ridley Haywood, 3 Dec 1874Carroll, TN (6 ch); d. 25 May 1931 Buena Vista, Carroll, TN, at age 72.  Ch. include James (mar. Roney Parish), Lorgee (?), Quinton, Hatty, and Leland King

• 59. i. Elizabeth Matilda⁴, b. 1847; m. John Wesley Brown Jr. (note that although court records apparently say that father of Eliz. Matilda Messer was someone named Messer, family tradition (per R. Allen) says her father was Eli Butler who had mar. her mother's sister in 1847)

14. Clark Spencer³ Butler (James², Elias¹) was buried Tumbling Creek Bapt. ch. cem., Gleason, Weakley, TN (his 2nd wife Martha's death cert. states she was bur. New Hope cem., but no markers for either person are found in either cem). He was born on 4 Apr 1825 NC. He married Sarah Park, daughter of Humphrey Park and Nancy Orr, on 19 Jan 1848 Carroll, TN (his 1st, 1 known ch.; mar. by David Quillen, M. G).^7,15 He married Martha Jane Atkins, daughter of Josiah R. Atkins and Rebecca Jones, on 21 Dec 1868 Weakley, TN (his 2nd, 2 or 3 ch.; mar. by Thos. W. Felts M.G).^16,15 He died on 5 Oct 1872 at age 47 (death date must be verified; the stone may say 1892, not 1872 - note that Martha Butler is listed in 1880 census with a boy James B. Butler age 2, a possible son).

He served in the Civil War.  Note that there are two people named Clark S. Butler - one d. in Mex. War (or was this actually Seymour Spencer Butler, known to have died in Mex. War?).

He was ordained in Apr 1853 (Clark S. Butler a Bapt. minister, ordained Apr 1853; note a Rev. C. S. Butler, identity unknown, preached the first sermon at Mt. Nebo Baptist Ch., Buena Vista, TN on 23 Apr 1834 (could the date be 1854?); however, J. W. Cearley was this church's first pastor). Clark S. Butler said to be a brother of Seymore Butler, son of James Butler (not James M., the son of Elias); one way for this to be true is for James Butler and James M. Butler (son of Elias) to be the same person. He and Martha Jane Atkins may also have son James B. Butler b. 1878 (in 1880 census with mother). He appeared on the census of 1850 Carroll, TN (1850, 16th dist., no. 1795: Clark S. Butler 25 NC, Sarah 20 TN, Mary E. 7/12, next to Humphrey Park). He appeared on the census of 1870 Weakley, TN (1870, 6th distr., P.O. Dresden: Clark S., 45, Martha J. 35, Mary A. 20).

Children of Clark Spencer³ Butler and Sarah Park were:

• i. Mary E./A.⁴; (Mary A. 1870 census); b. 1850.  She may have mar. Thomas J. Hall (1920 census Weakley Co. TN; cousins Sarah A. and Willie D. Pickles (Pickler?) in-dwelling).

• 60. i. Louetta E.⁴, b. 29 Aug 1870 Weakley, TN; m. Charles Harrison Bell.
• ii. Martha; b. 1873.

Notes on given name: a William Brantley was st. senator from Chatham Co. NC 1804-05; also, Brantley is a given name found in the Spencer family. Also note that he and a Brantly Stevens have the same name; Brantly Stevens' grandmother was Lucy Butler, wife of Daniel Hicks.

Children of Brantly S.³ Butler and Susan A. Huffman were as follows:

• i. Granville Hubbard⁴; b. 1849 Clarksburg, Carroll, TN; m. Mary Angelina Scott 1872 Carroll, TN (or mar. 1873);¹³ d. 1900.
• ii. Sophia G.; b. 1851 TN.  Did she mar. J. R. Batten 1869 Carroll Co. TN?
• iii. Mary S.; b. 1853 TN.

• i. Levi G.⁴; bur. Tucker cem. near Westport,, Carroll, TN; b. 7 Oct 1856 TN; d. 9 Jun 1863 Carroll, TN, at age 6.
• ii. Joseph E.; b. 1859 TN.
• iii. Irvin M.; bur. Tucker cem. near Westport,, Carroll, TN; b. 28 Feb 1861 (some sources say b. 29 Feb 1861, but 1861 was not a leap year); d. 28 Mar 1877 at age 16 (a transcription of the Tucker cem. says d. 28 Jan).
• iv. Caledonia; b. 1864.
• 61. v. Elbert G., b. 26 Dec 1866; m. Willie F. Hughey.
• vi. E. R.; b. 1870.

Another source says she is sister of Marvel Butler (and so of Atlas J. Butler); note she named a son Atlas J. McMillan (this is at best circumstantial evidence of a relationship with the family which included Marvel and Atlas Butler). If she is Marvel's sister, then the Sarah L. Butler who mar. Elijah Spoon is likely not the sister of Atlas (unlikely, but not impossible, that Atlas would have two adult sisters named Sarah).  This in turn makes it more likely that that Marvel Butler's first wife Emily Spoon and Elijah Spoon were sister and brother, which is accepted but not proven, and also is an explanation for the statement of Atlas J. Butler that Elijah Spoon was his brother-in-law.¹⁸  Note there is another family in the 1860 census of Carroll Co. TN which must not be confused with this one: Cullin D. McMullin and wife Sarah A. (Russell), who have ch. Hugh H., John G., James, Robert, and Eli.
Children of Sarah A.³ Butler and Duncan McMillan were as follows:

• i. Nancy A.⁴; b. 1851 TN; m. T. P. Williams 27 Jan 1881 Carroll, TN.¹⁹
• ii. Mary A.; b. 1854 TN.  She may have d. bef. Nov 1895 as she was not mentioned in father's will.
• iii. John W.; b. Feb 1855 TN; m. Josephine Williams 6 Feb 1890;¹⁹ d. 21 Jul 1924 at age 69.  Also note a marriage J. W. McMillan to Mollie Williams 1885 Carroll Co. TN, perhaps same J. W.
• iv. Sarah A.; b. 1857 TN; m. Henry Calvin Spoon 2 Aug 1892 (her 1st);¹⁹ m. J. Lawrence 12 Apr 1898 (her 2nd).¹⁹
• v. James B.; bur. McMillan/Williams cem. s. of Rosser,, Carroll, TN; b. 20 Oct 1858 TN; d. 8 Mar 1890 at age 31.  Could his middle name be Butler?
• vi. Atlas J.; bur. McMillan/Williams cem. s. of Rosser,, Carroll, TN; b. 3 Dec 1860; d. 25 Feb 1891 at age 30.

Both d. 1889, but R. Allen's cemetery notes record the age at death of Vernie E. as noted above and had no record of Verdie.
• vi. Arch Lamers; bur. Green Hills Mem. cem., Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, CA; b. 8 Mar 1885 Westport, Carroll, TN; m. Mary Lee Doles 13 Oct 1913 Soper, Choctaw, OK (5 ch.; or mar. 28 Aug); d. 15 Nov 1969 Lomita, Los Angeles, CA, at age 84.  Their SS cards were issued in CO. He is probably named after Archibald Lammonds of Montgomery Co. NC (or one of his several descendants also named Archibald). He appeared on the census of 1920 Choctaw, OK (town of Soper, Queen Ave.: Arch L. Butler 33 TN, Mamie 27 TX, Kellen 3 5/12 CA son, Keneth 11/12 OK son).
• vii. Hulen T.; m. Carrie (--?--) (3 ch); d. CA; b. circa 1888.  SS Death Index has a Hulan Butler b. 2 Jun 1887 d. CA Aug 1975, card issued in CO as was his brother Arch's. He given name Hulan/Hulen/Hulon may indicate relationship to Hulin family of Montgomery Co. NC. He appeared on the census of 1920 Choctaw, OK (enum. with parents). After 1920 he lived in CA.
• viii. Pearl Elizabeth; b. 9 Feb 1889 Carroll, TN; m. James Edgar Campbell Dec 1915;⁴² d. May 1982 Yucca Valley,, CA, at age 93.  She res. with her father in 1910; in 1920, both she and her husb. lived with her father.

Children of Marilyn L.³ Butler and John Durol Gooch were as follows:

• i. Seaborn⁴.
• ii. William.
• iii. Roland.
• iv. Coely; (could it be Cicely?) Coely may be short for Celia (or Cecilia/Cecily). Note that a Cannon Horn married a Callie Gooch; is this she?

52. Elizabeth³ Boyd (Sarah²Butler, Elias¹) married William Sanders (not completely sure her name is Boyd). She was born in 1829 TN.  Is the middle name of this Eliz. Boyd b. 1829 Diannah/Dinah?

It is possible that some researchers have confused this Williams Sanders b. 1815 with William Culpepper Sanders b. 1849, who mar. in 1869 an Eliz. D. Boyd b. 1844, this latter marriage taking place well after the births of the ch. listed below for Eliz. Boyd b. 1829.  Eliz. Boyd b. 1829 is 20 years older than William Culpepper Sanders, and was apparently already married to a different Wm. Sanders.  From these dates, the Eliz. D. Boyd who mar. Wm. C. Sanders is certainly a different Elizabeth (either Eliz. Boyd b. 1844, the dau. of Thomas Butler Boyd, or Eliz. Boyd b. 1851, the dau. of Joshua Boyd).  Need to check the 1870 census, which should show the age of Wm. C. Sanders' wife as approx. 19, not 41).  Some sources give her middle initial as D., but this may not be correct; it may have been assumed due to the 1869 marriage record between Wm. C. Saunders and Eliz. D. Boyd, but the Eliz. D. Boyd of the mar. record is likely not this Eliz. Boyd b. 1829 (who is enum. in the 1860 census with her husband William Sanders age 45), but the one b. 1851 (enum. with Joshua Boyd in the 1860 census). She and William Sanders appeared on the census of 1860 Carroll, TN (dist. 14, no 577: William Sanders 45 NC, Elizabeth 30 TN, Marcus 12 TN, Eli 9 TN, William 6 TN, Elias 2 TN).

• ii. Ellis E.; m. Emma Hall; bur. Jamison cem. near Westport,, Carroll, TN; b. 12 Jan 1851; d. 4 May 1938 at age 87.  Name is Eli in 1860 census; perhaps his first name is Elias rather than Ellis, or his middle name is Eli/Elijah/Elisha. Note he has a brother Elias.
• iii. William; b. 1854.
• iv. Elias; b. 1858.

Children of Sarah Catherine³ Boyd and Phillip Thompson Butler were as follows:

• i. James Martin⁴; bur. Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; m. Eliza Jones; b. 1865 TN; d. 1924.  There is a another James Martin Butler in some records - need to research marriages, etc. and make sure these are two different people.
• 95. ii. Thomas Grant, b. 1872; m. Arrilla D. Finch, dau. of Henry C. Finch and Lucinda (--?--).

54. William G.⁴ Butler (Elias³, James², Elias¹) married Nancy P. (--?--). He was born on 7 Oct 1843 MS.

Some sources give middle name as Justus (perhaps based on the possibility that the mother's maiden name was Justus) rather than Gaston/Gustin/etc.; however, name is recorded as William G. Butler in 1850 census. He and Nancy P. (--?--) appeared on the census of 1880 Lincoln, MS.

Children of William G.⁴ Butler and Nancy P. (--?--) both b. MS, were as follows:

• viii. Harriet Ann; b. 19 Aug 1876.
• ix. Laura Arget; b. 3 Nov 1879; d. 6 Jul 1960 at age 80.  Her middle name may be Arigett; Arget is how mother's middle name was apparently spelled; could it be short for Auget (earlier form of Ozier)?
• x. Allen Bismark; b. 8 Jul 1886.

Children of James Levi⁴ Butler and Laura Reeder were:

She and Jackson Asbury Jones who is Rosannah Burton age 8 b. NC res. with Jackson and Eliz. Jones in 1850? Did Elizabeth have a prior mar. to unk. Burton (she was old enough for this to be the case), or did they just take in a relative? Another indwelling Burton is Nancy age 12 b. Delaware res. with Thomas D. Burton (he and fam. b. TN). Other Burtons in Carroll Co. are b. VA, not NC. She and Jackson Asbury Jones appeared on the census of 1850 Carroll, TN (1850, dist. 18, no. 2078: Jackson Jones 25 NC, Elizabeth 28 NC, John C. 5 TN, Elizabeth 3 TN, Martha C. 11/12 TN, Rosannah Burton 8 NC (unknown relationship)).

68. William Culpepper⁴ Sanders (Martha³Butler, John², Elias¹) was buried Oak Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN (the graves of W. C. and Sarah A.

Boyd, the dau. of Joshua Boyd enum. in 1860 census. Robert Allen says Wm. C. Sanders had a dau. Martha b. 1867, predating the 1869 mar. to Eliz. D. Boyd; assuming Martha's birth was legitimate, then Wm. C. Sanders had an earlier mar. (there is no known record of an earlier mar.), or the birthyear of 1867 is wrong, or Martha is someone else's dau). He married Sarah Ann Boyd, daughter of Joshua C. Boyd and Martha Jane Butler, after Sep 1871 (said to be his 3rd wife, possibly 4 ch. or more, but may only be his 2nd wife; she should be listed in 1880/1900/1910 census as spouse of W. C. Sanders, and census data should shed light on the number of children she had. The marriage does not appear in available transcriptions of Carroll Co. mar. records).  In the records of some researchers, William C. Sanders may be confused with the William Sanders who mar. Eliz. Boyd b. 1829.

Dewitt Clarkson has b. 20 Dec 1861 d. 2 Nov 1886; these dates don't agree with the tombstones (they may apply to a different child of Henry) - the birthdate conflicts with Lovey Ann's birthdate of 7 Aug 1861, and death date precedes his marriage in 1894 - a check of 1870/1880/1900 censuses will clarify.
