Butt Family Reunion Minutes, obituaries and other associated documents.

         From 1916 thru 1939 at least, there was held near Johnstown, Ohio an annual

         reunion of the descendants of Bazil and Mahala (Green) Butt.  The Minutes of

         those reunions along with some associated documents are included here.  There

         exists an inconsistency in the dates on the documents and which annual reunion

         is being discussed.  The first one says "Butt reunion 1918".  It is called "The

         fourth annual reunion".  You will note as you read thru these that mistakes in these

         notes have been made.  I have put some photo's that were included with this material

         in the "Additional Photo's" Section.  I've included in this section an array of associated  

         Death Certificates and U S Census forms as well.

Nancy (Blamer) Butt Death Certificate, wife of Archibald Butt (1827-1888).  Her parents

        	were John Blamer and Mary "Polly" Houston.  The parents of Mary "Polly" Houston
        	were Andrew Houston and Elizabeth Green.  Note here that Mary Houston is said to 
        	have been born in PA., which lends credence to the notion that Andrew Houston may have been from PA.
        	This Nancy (Blamer) Butt would be my 1st cousin 3 times removed.  Her mother, Mary Houston
        	was a sister to my gr gr grandmother, Isabella Jane Houston the latter of whom was married to
        	Rolla Green, a second cousin to Mahala..  Also, this Archibald Butt was a son of Isaac Butt Jr. and
        	wife Effa Hamilton.  Isaac Butt Jr. was the son of Isaac Butt and wife Cassandra, the latter couple
        	of Buttstown.
   The above indicates that John Blamer and wife Mary were from VA and Ohio respectively, NOT PA

Descendants of Isaac Mitchell Jr.  Isaac Mitchell Jr. was married to Louisa Blamer.  Louisa

             was a daughter of John Blamer and Mary "Polly" Houston, and therefore a sister to

             the above Nancy (Blamer) Butt.  This document includes the note: 

                     "***Pennsylvania birthplaces are incorrect.  Louisa's father born Va, mother b Ohio.

                  All others mother's birth is Ohio, NOT Penn."

Sarah Noras (Butt) Robbins Death Certificate.  Her parents were John Butt, b. 1788 and second 

        	wife Sarah Houston.  The above Mary "Polly" Houston was this Sarah Houston's sister.  Sarah 
        	Noras was married first to Robert Kile Needles and then to William Robbins Jr.  It is said here that
        	John Butt was born in PA.  It is ever increasingly clear that Bazil Butt may have been born in PA as well.

         	I do not have this man as their son.  I have a son Henry Stansbury Wilson Butt, b. September 5, 1863

Writings of my father Henry Morgan "Toad" Butt

         My father was a very, very funny man.  He had an innate intelligence that was

         exceeded by very few.  He had an incredible memory.  I loved to hear

         him talk about anything and everything.  He was colorful...and musical.

         I begged him to write, which, fortunately for us all, he did.  This section

         includes some of what he wrote.  He wrote a lot...I do not have it all scanned.

         In time all of it will be included here.  Some of what he wrote is small "r" rated

         so if you're easily insulted, by "back woods" humor/jargon, you might want to

         skip at least some of this section.  One author described dad this way: "His background

         was Southern and he was fond of West Virginian Colloquialisms."  I agree.

         Some family history, newspaper articles about dad and some pictures are included here.

I received the following information from Eva.  Here's her email address:  

 

answayla@yahoo.com

 

She has aHufford run site that people all over this USA have contributed to over

the years. Many have found long lost family or made connection to original Christian

Hufford born 1716 in Germany and came to America.  Eva has given me permission

to post this message from her and the above e-mal address.  Contact Eva for

information about the Hufford family.

 

Hello Dennis,
 
    I found your site while researching the Butts  family in Clark County, 
Missouri. I noticed that you have Jeremiah Butts family  group sheet. The 
Butts family line I am researching was his son Samuel Grover  Butts.
    I am not connected to the Butts family in any way,  however one of 
Samuel's daughters married into my Hufford family line.
    I notice that you reported that Samuel Glover Butts  died in Clark 
County, Missouri, this is wrong. He died in Johnson, Scotland  County, Missouri. 
His probate records are in that county. Sometime between 1870  and 1880 
Samuel and his wife Mary Ann (she used her middle name of Ann always)  moved 
from Clark County to Scotland county.
    Samuel and Ann can be found in the following  census.
1840 Waterloo (Madison twsp) Clark County, Missouri as Samuel G.  Butts
1850 Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri as Glover Butts
1860 Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri as S.G. Butts
1870 Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri as Glove S. Butts
1880 Johnson, Scotland County, Missouri as Samuel G. Butts
The 1860 census is as follows:
S.G. Butts 41 farmer born in Ky 1819
Ann Butts  44 born in Indiana 1816
Wilson      12 born in Missouri 1848
Martha A    7 born in Missouri 1853
Virginia      6 born in Missouri 1854. Her  complete name was Nancy Virg
inia Butts
Henry        4 born in Missouri  1856
Mary E.    9/12 born in Missouri
Only the following are in the 1870 census
Glove S. Butts (Samuel Glover) 53
Ann 53, Virginia 16 and Mary E. 10.  We know that Wilson died  7-26-1869 
but I haven't found when Henry died. He had to have died between 1860  and 
1870.
The daughter recorded as Virginia was actually Nancy Virginia Butts or  
other words Nancy V. Butts who married Zachariah Hufford on 6-18-1871 in Clark  
County, Missouri. Zachariah was twice her age. And she was his third wife.
    Zachariah was born 1821 in Woodford County, Ky and  died 4-14-1905 
Blackwater, Cooper County, Missouri. Burial in Salt Fork cemetery  there.
He first married Elizabeth Rude 1-20-1842 in Scott County, Indiana. They  
had 3 sons John Harvey 1844, Solomon 1847 and Israel Isaac 1852. They 
divorced  and Zac and the boys moved to Missouri in 1851.
    Zachariah next married Mrs. Jemima (Jeremiah)  Hewitt 12-30-1856 in 
Clark County, Missouri. They had one daughter Rosetta Hulda  Hufford 
10-16-1858. Jemima died before 1870.
    Then Zachariah and Nancy Virginia Butts married and  had at least 2 
children.  Henry Thomas was born 4-22-1872 and died  7-29-1913. They had 
daughter Mary E. 1879. One descendant of Henry Thomas  Hufford's line said that 
Zachariah and Nancy had a number of daughters but  didn't know their names. In 
his records he was counting Rosetta as Nancy's  daughter, he was also 
counting Andrew Jackson Hufford as one of their sons,  however Andrew was the son 
of Zachariah's youngest brother William. He had  gotten confused because 
Andrew is buried in the same cemetery as Zachariah.  Andrew was working for 
Rosetta's family in 1900 and Zachariah was also living  with Rosetta and her 
husband James Thomas Montgomery in Blackwater, Cooper  County, Missouri.
    It is unsure when Nancy Virginia Butts-Hufford died  or is buried. Some 
say she died right before 1900. We know by census records she  was gone by 
then. She could be buried in Salt Fork cemetery, there are about 11  graves 
that have no headstones there.
    Zachariah Hufford born September 1821 to 4-14-1905  and my great great 
grandfather Andrew Jackson Hufford were brothers. They and  William Hufford 
were the sons of Solomon and Priscilla Hufford. William Hufford  4-7-1843 to 
3-18-1903 named his son Andrew Jackson 9-24-1870 to 4-7-1905 after  my 
great great grandfather Andrew Jackson Hufford
    Zachariah, and his parents Solomon and Priscilla  and family moved from 
Woodford County, Kentucky in 1821 after Solomon's father  John died and 
settle in Scott County, Indiana. Zachariah, Andrew , William  and sister Nancy 
who married James Comley moved to Missouri after their parents  died in 
Indiana.
    I hope the little I know about your Butts family  helps to fill in some 
of your blanks. Take care, Eva
