Surnames: Butt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xd.2ADE/843.1.1.2 Message Board Post: I've been looking at a genealogy compiled by another descendent of Moses Butt (1782-1848), with the help of a genealogist. It's possible that this line is descended from Joshua Butt (1714-1800) and Mary Portlock of Portsmouth, VA. This tree came to me from John Campbell Butt of the Atlanta area. A Y-DNA 25-marker test indicated a genetic link between John Campbell and Marshall Wingfield Butt, whose family has been well-researched in the Portsmouth area (his father was a historian). Therefore, John Campbell is a relative of the Portsmouth Butt family, but the exact geneology needs some more work. Does anyone have any suggestions/comments? Thank you.
