Hello All, In any of your Butcher's was any of them Coopers(Barrell Makers). My James M. Butcher born In Tenn abt 1808 was a cooper. He was in ID by 1833 he married Delila Rush. I am thinking That his father might be Issac. I have been looking in vain for any connection for him. His wife was from VI b abt 1814. There was a Elizabeth Butcher who married a Rush also in IN, maybe this was his sister. The family than moved to Ill for a short time then on to Woodbine, IA Doris Waddell P.S. I started this whole thing to find out what nationalitity my husband was. And I have been doing this ever since.
