My Butlers came from Virginia in 1835. The line goes like this:
James b.Prince georges Co, James born Dinwiddie Co, Johnathon b. Dinwiddle Co
Johnathon married Elizabeth "Betsy" Harris, sister of John Harris both
b.Campbell Co.
Louisa Fountain Butler, d/o Johnathon and Betsy, married the son of John , William Patrick
Harris, so they were first cousins. The Butlers and John Harris and his family made up
the wagon train going to OH and IN arriving in 1836. The widowed mother of Betsy and John
was Jane Butterworth Harris; she was 72 when they left VA and came to IN to settle. Other
family members came too -- two other sons Benjamin Butterworth Harris and William Harris
III, and another daughter, Mary Harris Campbell. The Harrises settled in the southwester
corner of Randolph Co IN around Modoc. I have counted so far a probable 43 relatives in
that train. They stayed in Warren Co OH for awhile and some of them stayed. There was at
least two babies born on the way!! Well, it is all extremely exciting and interesting.
Hope to hear from you again.............Phyllis Harrs DePoy..........aka...........phd
