Another plea for any help on my New York Butler family. My records show that JOHN and MARY BUTLER were married in the 1860s. The first births I have are CATHERINE (KATHRYN) and JOSEPHINE TERESA BUTLER, born in Buffalo, Erie County, New York in 1880 and 1881. Genealogy researchers have advised me to look for children born prior to 1880. I have always understood that when John and Mary Butler left my waterways to make their way to Missouri, they left a least one daughter in New York, probably the Buffalo area. Does anyone have a female Butler born in the late 1860s or the 1870s who might belong to this family. If so I would surely love to hear from you! My Grandma Butler's obituary states that she was born in Randolph County, New York on 11 November, 1854. My Grandpa Butler was born in Ireland and immigrated in 1860. Since there isn't any Randolph County that has also created a bit of a problem! I have searched the town and village of Randolph and so far no luck. I have searched many, many census pages and no luck there either. I have my Grandpa's application for citizenship which was filed in Buffalo in 1881. I would love to hear from anyone who might see a connection. Thank you so much, and good luck to all in your research!
