Mr. Butler was born of English parents, in Maine, in April, 1760, and was married to Chloe Hammond, of the same State, also of English decent. He removed to Washington county, N.Y., thence to Orangeville in 1815, and settled on sixty acres on lot 19, where he remained until his death in August, 1836. His wife died in the spring of 1822. They reared eight children, all of whom came to Orangeville at an early day. Their names were Ansel, Obadiah, Jeduthum, Elizabeth, Phear, Benjamin, Chloe and Anna.
