Hi Mary, You have given me a lot of my information on the Stuart family (my uncle was Herbert Harvey Stuart). I have the following information on the Butler's, but did not write down the source (shame on me). Was wondering if you could tell me if it is accurate or not. Another question, you once told me that Minnie Butler's sister, Ome, married a John Porterfield. Did you ever find out which John Porterfield? I have a lot of John Porterfields in my FTM, but have not connected one to Ome Butler. Ron Harper Generation No. 1 1. RUEBEN L1 BUTLER was born in Fulton County, Arkansas, and died 1870.
