    3. Hello all, Am hoping someone out there has heard of my gg grandfather, F.G. BUTLER... I'm searching for information on my gg grandfather Felix Grundy/Gundy BUTLER aka F.G. b. 22 FEB 1837 in AR, d. 15 Apr 1905 in Vernon, Wilbarger Co., TX according to family bible records. F.G. BUTLER married my gg grandmother Malissia Elsa Lucilla Ann DILL 3 SEP 1872 in Jack Co., TX according to marriage records. Malissia DILL was born 13 NOV 1854 in AL, d. 11 Nov. 1926, Vernon, Wilbarger Co., TX. Her father, William B. DILL was born in TN, her mother, Eliza L. AMILTOU? in AL. My gg grandmother had previously been married to John DALTON d. 1871 Tarrant Co., TX, son of Thomas DALTON b. ca 1795 VA, d. 01 JAN 1873, Tarrant Co., TX. The Jack Co., TX probate records indicate F.G. BUTLER was awarded guardianship of DALTON, John, Minor, 18 mo. of age, 7 AUG 1873. I've located F.G. BUTLER in Parker Co., TX 1880 & Tarrant Co., TX 1900 census records. Census information varies for him. There is a contradiction about the birth place of his parents. 1880 census indicates the FBP as VA, 1900 indicates FBP as MO. I've also located F.G. BUTLER as an original land owner in Parker Co., TX. However, I have been unsuccessful in locating any information on his parents or siblings. My great aunt, now 84 recalls my great grandmother telling stories about grandfather Felix G. BUTLER. My g. grandmother tearfully recalled that her daddy wandered around with a nap sack and came occasionally to see the younger sons he left behind. His history is elusive and a remains a mystery.
