Re: Butcher I am desc f rom a William BUtcher inKokomo, Indiana...and I have no idea where he came from. When you mentioned the french, I remember my grandmother telling me she thought the family came from France...she died in 1965 All I have is her DAR application with her maternal lineage of WILLIAM HANCOCK, Rev WAr soldier of Stoughton,Buxton, Mass. WOuld be interesting if anything came of this line.. Alicia Dorsie-Frank alicia.df1@juno.com
