Morning Audrey, You are right about the Butlers coming from Isle of Wight, Va. ( mine did). I have only been able to trace back to Robert Butler that is buried in Liberty, NC. He was born 7/16/1788 and died 7/7/1851. He was married to a woman named Julia/Julie/Jule ? in 1816. She was born in 1792 and died around 1860. They had 13 children that I know of. Hickmond Butler 5/27/1817-10/4/1890 James Butler born 1819-8/5/1902 Sarah Butler born 1821 Mary Butler born 1823 Margaret Butler born 1825 John Butler born 6/22/1826-7/21/1854 Jessie Simmons Butler 11/7/1828- Unity Butler born 1830 Harmon Butler born 1837 Ann Butler born 1837 Robert Butler Jr. born 1839 Jefferson Butler born 1/4/?-9/12/1914 Rebecca Butler born 1848 Hickmond Butler is the line I descend from (first child listed). I have a list of his children and a little more information on them if anyone is interested. Jane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Audrey E.
