Posted on: Meagher County, Montana Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mt/Meagher/10032 Surname: Butterfield ------------------------- Looking for any information on David Butterfield who filed a placer mining claim May 13 1871 in the Bahor Mining District of Meagher County. Trying to determine if this is the same David Butterfield who came across the Applegate Trail to Oregon in 1846. Secured a donated land claim of 640 acres in Benton County OR. David came up missing in OR records around 1870.
