Your e-mail sparked interest as I am just beginning to research the Butler family as it connects to my Miller/Ussery line in Mississippi and Alabama. So, I spent a little time looking for Thomas Jefferson Butler. I found a Thomas Butler (b. about 1842) in Choctaw, MS on the 1850 census.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VS.2ADE/768 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the family of Thomas Jefferson Butler. Thomas is my great great grandfather. Our family has always thought he was born in North Carolina, but I found different information on the LDS website. The LDS website states that he was born on January 25, 1846 in Choctaw County, Mississippi. I'm not sure how long the family lived in Choctaw County. The only other information I have on him is that he married Mary Ann Palmer around 1867 in Carrollton, Pickens County, Alabama. He died on January 12, 1892. Any help would be appreciated! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now
