Please ignore past messages about this couple because, due to an error in several town histories, I had the wrong surname for Lavinia. My husband descends from William H. BUTTERFIELD, born 1780-1790, and Lavinia CHANDLER (not CASE, which is what the history of Antrim says), born 1780-1790. They married in 1812 in Antrim, Hillsborough Co. NH. William was described as from Washington, Sullivan Co. NH on their marriage record, and evidently the couple lived there until about 1817. Then they moved to Society Land, Hillsborough Co. NH and lived there until about 1822. Then they moved to Antrim, Hillsborough NH. Lavinia died in 1836, supposedly in Antrim NH. William supposedly remarried. There are two possible re-marriages that could have been him, but I think the most likely one was to Mary Jane BAKER of Goffstown NH. This marriage took place in 1837 in Goffstown. Their marriage record said William was from Francestown NH at the time, so maybe Lavinia died there? Soon afterward, William supposedly moved to MA. He may have moved to the Wayland area of Middlesex Co. MA. Did he follow his son John Calvin BUTTERFIELD or his daughter Ascenathe (BUTTERFIELD) GREEN, who definitely did move there? However, I haven't seen any evidence that he did move to MA, just a sentence in the history of Antrim NH with no documentation. William & Lavinia had the following children: Chandler b. 1812 m. Naomi D. Robinson Luther b. 1814 John Calvin b. 1818 Ascenath b. 1817 or 1820 m. Lewis GREEN (our line) Lucinda b. 1822 Hannah b. 1824 Eliza b. 1826 If the marriage to Mary Jane BAKER was really for this William BUTTERFIELD, then he died (in Francestown rather than MA?) on 13 Jan 1850. He had four more children with her -- Mary Ann Welthea M. Adelaide Charles T. b. July 1846 I'd love to know more about this family. I appreciate any help.
