A big Thank You to Janet for her letter setting forth the various
research sources in Decatur Co. I am saving it for future reference.
While some of my ancestors weren't in Decatur for too long a period of
time before they moved on, others were in Fugit Township early and there
are still descendants there. In Decatur Co I am researching RAY,
BUTCHER, HAVICE and LAWRENCE, with descendants of these surnames
marrying into other long-time families, including the Tingles and
Millers. My Rays attended Kingston Presbyterian Church, but are buried
at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. I also found a marker at Mt. Carmel for Wm.
Butcher, "U.S. Soldier, War of 1812", but have been unable to get any
further information on him. Any help appreciated.
