O'siyo Bob Butler, My husband is researching James Columbus Butler, an orphan, rumored to have Cherokee lineage, but he has hit a brick wall. Many of his Butlers were from Arkansas and do not appear on Dawes. Many of them are on the census' but are listed as white although photo's of them look definately Native American. Can you post all your Butler names? Thanks. J. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Osiyo J! I have too many to list here. I can send you my GEDCOM if you have a software program to run it. My brick wall is my GGrandfather, Calvin Martin Butler, b=September 08, 1831, Grainger Co, TN, and wife Ellen Virginia Ro(w)land, b=June 05, 1846, TN?. Homestead in Grainger Co (estab 1870), TN. Calvin was a Union soldier for 3 years in the 1st TN Cav. and died in 1890 Jefferson City, TN. Passed down family info says that Calvin was 1/4 or 1/2 Cherokee and Virginia was full blood, but both were listed on the 1870 and 1880 census as white. Calvin had piercing blue eyes. Neither were on any rolls either. I have a James Butler, unk married to Nancy Sword, unk. that could possibly be Calvin's parents. Possible brother James Mathew Butler, b=abt 1818 TN, married August 21, 1836 Grainger Co TN, to Unity Whitehead , b= NC?.
