Generation One

1. Thomas1 BUTLER (472); m. Lavina (--?--) (473)(at least 8 ch.); b. 1792 NC; d. 1865 Carroll, TN.

Lavina (--?--) (473) was born in 1796. She died in 1859.

Alexander Thompson Butler is also thought to be a son of Thomas Butler. There is no proof that this Alexander is the son of Neely Butler as stated on pg. 113 of the book "History of Carroll Co. TN"; that this Alexander is the son of Thomas Butler is supported by three Carroll Co. TN deeds (1866-67) associated with the disposition of land of Thomas Butler which mention heir A. T. Butler (it is A. T., not A. J. Butler, but the name Alexander is unfortunately never used). Further analysis of 1830/1840 census records for Thomas, Neely, and also Joshua Butler could also provide some indication of Alexander's father but cannot by themselves be considered proof. Additional records concerning this matter are solicited. In the meantime, Alexander Thompson Butler and descendants will be included here in a future update.

Refer to land records of Carroll Co. TN for list of heirs. Also note that one source gives wife of Thomas as Ellen Duncan.
