I forgot to mention that John Bedford Butler and Martha M. Carroll only had one son, John Q. A. "Tobe" Butler. When Tobe died in 1939, the only sons listed in his will were: Charles Edward Quincie John Arthur Karla

I need help. John Bedford Butler, below, is the brother of my gggrandfather, Jesse G. Butler. Martha M is his wife, Martha M Carroll. John and Martha Butler are buried in Shiloh General Baptist Cemetery. Apparently, James Butler, Myrlie Butler, and Thomas Butler are buried next to John and Martha, which makes me believe they are related. Can anyone tell me how they might be related? Following the list of names is information from death certificates of James, Myrlie and Thomas. Does anyone know the parentage of James Thomas Butler and Maud Hunt, parents of Thomas Henry Butler? Any little clue will be appreciated. BUTLER, John B. - Death date only - Dec. 20, 1862 (aged 34 years) - Husband of M.M.
