Click here for endnotes.
Note: read this report carefully - the word "county"
is generally omitted after all county names herein; also, in a few cases,
not all children in a family are listed, but the total number of children
of a marriage is given if known. This report was generated from a
study database, not an exhaustive listing of all descendants.
Generation One
1. Elias1
Butler was born circa 1758. He married Sarah
(--?--), circa 1778. He died circa Feb 1838 Carroll,
TN. 1,2
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.
9. ix. Joshua Daniel; b. 21
Mar 1802 NC, m. Mary Drucilla
Blount.
10. x. Sarah, b. 1 Sep 1804 NC;
m. Thomas R. Boyd; m. James
Bobbitt.
Generation Two
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.
viii. Reuben; m. Mary
Tennessee Whitesides; b. 1817.
Children of James M.2 Butler and Susannah Bennett were
as follows:
14. i. Clark Spencer3,
b. 4 Apr 1825 NC; m. Sarah
Park; m. Martha Jane Atkins.
15. ii. Brantly S., b. 7 Dec
1827NC; m. Susan A. Huffman;
m. Minerva A. Sharp.
16. iii. Sarah A., b. 8 Oct
1830Montgomery, NC; m. Duncan
McMillan.
17. iv. Louisa J., b. 1833 TN;
m. Dr. Haywood F. Harris.
3. John
F.2 Butler (Elias1)
(middle name Franklin?) was born circa 1782 and died in 1876. He married Phoebe
Adeline Windsor (her surname is sometimes seen as Solomons (Solomon would
be more likely); no proof of this mar. has been found. It is not certain
that "Phoebe Adeline Windsor" or "Phoebe Adeline Windsor Solomons" actually
existed. Although a Phoebe Butler left a will dated 1835 in Carroll Co.,
it was proven in Apr 1840 prior to the census that year; since the 1840
census for John Butler shows a female of the age to be John's wife and
since John is not known to have remarried (nor is the death date of any
wife even known), it is not likely that Phoebe the legator was the wife
of John. The sole heir in this Phoebe Butler's will was a James P. Butler,
so far an unknown person; neither John Butler nor any children were mentioned,
another fact making it less likely that this Phoebe Butler was connected
to John Butler (although it may also reflect Phoebe's possible dissatisfaction
with her immediate family). Robert Allen reports that a month after this
Phoebe died, "the court gave permission to have her body exhumed, the implication
being that she had died under suspicious circumstances. Nothing further
is said of the matter in the court records").
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).
Children of John F.2 Butler and Phoebe Adeline Windsor
all b.NC, were as follows:
18. i. William L.3,
m. Nancy (--?--); b. circa 1800.
19. ii. Martha W., m. James
Sanders; b. 25 May 1814.
20. iii. Judith J., b. 23
Feb 1817; m. Claiborne J. Parish.

Butler (Elias1); (middle name may
be Catherine) married Reuben
Queen. She was born circa 1789. She died in 1859.
She and Reuben Queen appeared on the census
of 1830 Carroll, TN (p. 158:
Reuben Queen 0110001-3012001).

K. Boyd, son of John (or Robert?) Boyd and (--?--)
unk. She was born circa 1791 NC. She died after
1870, when she was age 79 enumerated with "Zianna" (i.e., Dianna) Rogers age 53, 9th dist.

will.

7. Neely2
Butler (Elias1) married Amy
(or Anna) Arina Ozier, daughter of Louis Ozier Jr. and Susannah
Martin. He was born in 1796 NC (his age is recorded
as 54 in 1850, and 80 in 1870). He died in 1880 Stone,
MO.
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).

(there were other Morris entries, but this is earliest; no early entries
for Wm. Morris).
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.
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.
8. Reuben2
Butler (Elias1) was born in 1798.
He married Susan
(--?--) before 1817 (her 1st; 3 ch). He died before 1834. Concerning
his data of death: the will of Elias Butler, written 6 Mar 1836,
states that his son Reuben was deceased. Some sources give a death date
of 1825 for this son of Elias, but this may be based on data associated
with the Mary Butler who mar. 1st a Reuben Butler. The Reuben Butler who
was the husband of this Mary Butler died 1825-1827, since by 1827 she had
mar. her 2nd husband John Jordan, by whom she had 3 children known to have
been born between 1827 and 1830. But it is not certain that this Reuben
Butler is the son of Elias Butler, so we must use the Elias Butler will
to set the bound on his son's death date, as well as the birth dates of
2 of his daus.
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:
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.
9. Joshua
Daniel2 Butler (Elias1)
was buried Oak Grove Bapt. ch.
cem.,, Carroll, TN. He married Mary
Drucilla Blount, daughter of Isaac Blount and Lovey
Jones. He was born on 21 Mar 1802 NC. He died on
6 Nov 1878 Carroll, TN, at age
76.
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.
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).
10. Sarah2
Butler (Elias1) was buried Oak
Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN (apparently neither of her husbands
is bur. in Oak Grove cem., or record of it is lost). She was born on 1
Sep 1804 NC. She married Thomas
R. Boyd, son of John (or Robert?) Boyd and (--?--)
unk, on 21 Sep 1822 (her 1st, 8 known ch.; mar. date on her tombstone,
but needs to be verified, since other sources give it as 21 Feb 1822).
She married James
Bobbitt, son of William Bobbitt and Susannah
James, on 11 Jun 1856 Carroll,
TN (2nd for both, no known ch.; mar. date on her tombstone). She died on
9 Sep 1881 at age 77.
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:
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.
There were no children of Sarah2 Butler and James Bobbitt.
Generation Three
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.
12. Elias
Bennett3 Butler (James2,
Elias1)
died MS (may have d. in Tate or Marshall Co. MS).
He was born on 13 Jan 1813 Montgomery,
NC. He married Eliza
Gaston on 17 Sep 1840 Marshall,
MS (at least 10 ch).9
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
13. Eli
Horatio3 Butler (James2,
Elias1)
was born circa 1815 NC. He and Susan
M. Messer obtained a marriage license on 10 Jan 1839 Carroll,
TN.7
He married Caroline
Ross on 24 Sep 1877 Carroll,
TN (his 2nd).13,14
He died in 1887.
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
Children of Eli Horatio3 Butler and Missouri Messer were:
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)
There were no children of Eli Horatio3 Butler and Caroline
Ross.
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).
Children of Clark Spencer3 Butler and Martha Jane Atkins
were as follows:
60. i. Louetta E.4,
b. 29 Aug 1870 Weakley, TN;
m. Charles Harrison Bell.
ii. Martha; b. 1873.
15. Brantly
S.3 Butler (James2,
Elias1)
was buried Tucker cem. near
Westport,, Carroll, TN. He was born on 7 Dec 1827 NC.
He married Susan
A. Huffman on 20 Sep 1848 Carroll,
TN (his 1st; 3 ch).7,17
He marriedMinerva
A. Sharp on 6 Mar 1855 Carroll,
TN (his 2nd, 6 ch.; mar. by Elder C. B. Smith).7,17
He died on 2 Feb 1873 Carroll,
TN, at age 45.
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.
Children of Brantly S.3 Butler and Minerva A. Sharp were
as follows:
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.
16. Sarah
A.3 Butler (James2,
Elias1)
was born on 8 Oct 1830 Montgomery,
NC (however, 1850, 1860 censuses says b. TN). She married Duncan
McMillan on 19 Dec 1850 Carroll,
TN (5 ch. by 1860).7
She died on 4 Sep 1888 Carroll,
TN, at age 57.
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.

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

to be an uncut stone later removed by the cem. committee). He married Nancy
(--?--). He was born circa 1800 NC. He died circa
1840. It is not certain that his parents are correct as listed.
He and a William Lowe Butler, son of James Butler and Charity Lowe, are
possibly confused in some records, since William Lowe Butler was willed
land in Carroll Co. TN.

Sanders is not listed although he was born Aug 1850 and the family was
not enumerated until Dec 1850; this may be due to the midyear enum. cutoff
date, or an error in the birthdate of WCS). She and James
Sanders appeared on the census of 1860Carroll,
TN (1860, dist 18, no. 507: Martha Saunders 40 NC (note her husb. d. 1854),

b. 1844 TN (Sherman Boyd data says b. 14 Feb 1851
(the birthdate on the tombstone of "Diannah Sanders, wife of W. C. Sanders"
at Oak Grove cem.; the date is perhaps misread, as another reading of this
stone gives a birthdate of 14 Dec 1851, the discrepancy being whether or
not the month is "2" or "12". The 1851 birthyear disagrees with the 1860
census age of 16 for the dau. of Thomas Butler Boyd and instead may apply
instead to Eliz. Boyd, dau. of Joshua Boyd, who is age 9 in the 1860 census).

Elias1)
was buried Oak Grove Bapt.
ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN. He was born on 24 Jan 1825 NC

He died on 26 Oct 1918 at age 93.

Amanda 4 TN, Martha 2 f TN (should this be son Martin?), Susan 6/12 TN,

Butler? Need more data.

Simmons, 5 Dec 1907 Soper,
Choctaw, OK (4 ch); d. 27 Apr 1954 San

Jan 1878 Carroll, TN; m. Lou
Ada Cooper 16 Feb 1902 Carroll,
TN (4 ch); d. 17 Aug 1975Soper,

Grove Bapt. ch. cem.,, Carroll, TN; b. 25 Mar 1882; d. 1 Mar 1889 at age
6 (d. age 6Y, 11M, 7 D per tombstone). Note also a sibling Verdie
Butler below - could these be same person? 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.

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,

He appeared on the census of 1920 Choctaw,
OK (town of Soper, Queen Ave.: Arch L. Butler 33 TN, Mamie 27 TX, Kellen

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.

51. Marilyn
L.3 Butler (Joshua2,
Elias1);
(or Mary L) was born in 1853 TN. She married John
Durol Gooch, son of William L. Gooch and Sarah
H. Taylor, on 21 Oct 1877 Carroll,
TN (her first). She married Joel
Oliver Butler, son of Thomas E. Butler and Jacintha
(--?--), on 1 Dec 1897 Carroll,
TN (his 2nd, her 2nd; no known ch). Note a divorce of J. O. Butler
and M. L. Butler 1907 Carroll Co. TN records - may be transcription error
(year should be 1901?) or a later proceeding following the actual divorce.
In Mar 1901 he apparently mar. Dicey (Hogg) Nolen, the widow of John W.
Nolen.44
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?
There were no children of Marilyn L.3 Butler and Joel
Oliver Butler.
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).
Children of Elizabeth3 Boyd and William Sanders all
b. TN, were as follows:
i. Marcus A.4;
m. Larcena
Blount, daughter of John Gray Blount and Empire
Brewer; bur. Jamison cem.
near Westport,, Carroll, TN; b. 1848; d. 1927.
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.
53. Sarah
Catherine3 Boyd (Sarah2Butler,

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 (--?--).
Generation Four
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.;

She died on 13 Jun 1929 at age 89.

ix. Laura Arget; b. 3 Nov
1879; d. 6 Jul 1960 at age 80. Her middle name may be Arigett; Arget

TN (said to be his 2nd wife, but may be his 1st. Since she was b. 1851,
she is most likely Eliz. 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

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

will clarify.
