      Phineas Butler, with a large family of grown up children, became an early settler in the southern part of the town. His resident descendants are probably more numerous at the present time than those of any other pioneer family. 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.

      Jeduthun Butler was born in Maine, October 15th, 1786. He was married to Ruth Benson, of Washington county, in 1812, and in 1814 settled on lot 25 in Orangeville, buying at first eighty acres. His first wife died Septemebr 29th, 1818, and he was married in November, 1819, to Martha Freeman, of Saratoga county, who died in February, 1858. Mr. Butler lived in the town until his death, May 25th, 1853. Jeremiah Butler settled on lot 10 in 1815. He was born in Maine in October, 1755, and was married to Hannah Robinson, a native of the same State, who died in Orangeville in 1845. He died in the spring of 1850.
