I was sorting through May's stuff and found a list of one of the Butchers' ancestors which begins with Father: Ransom M. Butcher B 1851 Wright Co. MO; D 1916 Choctaw Nation Grandfather on father's side: David Butcher, B 1835 Kentucky; Mother: Samantha Caroline Spurlock Butcher (Ransom's second wife); B 1868 Boone Co, Ark., D 1903 Choctaw Nation Most of them reside in Oklahoma. Reading through and noting the same names (Edward Butcher, Ronnie Butcher (with a son Aaron), Helen Ruth Butcher, is interesting. I don't know where this list came from, neither does May. It isn't the list of Butcher ancestors I received about 10-15 years ago as they resided on the west coast.
