Surnames: Butler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACE/426 Message Board Post: I am looking for the ancestry of William Butler born about 1735 somewhere in Virginia. At some point he moved to Maryland where at least one of his sons was born, John R. Butler (Aug. 10, 1769). From Maryland, it appears that William moved back to Virginia and then to what is know Kentucky. He built “Butler's Station” in Adair Co. KY in 1789. The rest of his children are as follows, David b. abt 1774, Elkanah "Lcain" b. abt. 1785, William b. ?, Isaac b. ?, Nathan b. ?, James b. ?. Of these children I don’t know where any of them were born. William also seems to have been in the following places Tazewell & Montgomery County, VA, and Crab Orchard, VA in 1768. My goal is to find more details about William’s family. Any help with this line would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time,
