I have the names of several BUTTSes (Nellie, Arthur, Harry, Howard, Bertha, and LaVerne) who lived in Oneonta. Their father was James K. P. BUTTS, and I think either he or his father, whose name I don't know, were living in 1855 and would be in the 1855 Oneonta census. One of the BUTTSes married Mason T. HAINES, and his father may be in the 1855 Oneonta census. Please look for James K. P. BUTTS, or any BUTTS, and any HAINES. All of these people were in business. Thanks very much.
