The 1850 Allen Co., KY census shows he was born in TN about 1815. His son, John Henry Butler, was born 26 Oct 1835 in TN. The only Samuel Butler listed in a TN index in 1840 is Samuel Butler in Sumner Co. I found where a Samuel Butler married Mary Hunt 12 January 1835 in Sumner Co. In 1850 Samuel was married to Mary "Polly" Wadkins, born about 1825 in KY, so she can't be John Henry Butler's mother. There is also a marriage of a Samuel Butler to a Mary Hadkins 22 March 1846 in Sumner Co. I wonder if this might be Mary Wadkins that the Allen Co. Samuel Butler was married to in 1850. I don't know much about these Butlers at all, but I'd love to know more. My gg-grandfather was Robert Lafayette Butler of Barren Co., KY. I have believed that his parents were Elizabeth Huffman and Fielding Butler who moved to Barren Co. between 1820 and 1830, but DNA results don't show a match with one of their children. My second cousin is a closer match to some Butlers from TN and that is why I am interested in Samuel Butler. Also, Robert Lafayette Butler's daughter Lou Ann Butler, moved to Dallas Co., TX around 1880 and later married Humphrey Bate SPILLMAN, whose mother was Elizabeth Ann WISEMAN, daughter of Mildred WEATHERRED and Rev. Jonathan WISEMAN. Jonathan Wiseman was the son of Anny HUNT and John Wiseman who came to Sumner Co. from Rowan Co., NC around 1804. Anny was the daughter of Gershom HUNT of Rowan Co. I wonder if the Hunt lady Samuel Butler married might be related to these Hunts. I have always been curious how Lou Ann Butler and Humphrey Bate Spillman found each other in TX. If anyone has any information on any of these folks, please contact me at [email protected] or on the forum.
