  • Introduction

    The earliest direct ancestor I presently know of on this lineage is William Butler. So, drawing from just a few scant facts, let me summarize what I know about this man. William was born in 1790 (or about 1797) near Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland. He married Winifred Godfrey in Ireland before 1819. They had six known children. This family sold nearly all their possessions and emigrated from Ireland during the beginning of the famine years – likely sometime in 1833. They left Liverpool, England in March of 1834, arriving in New Orleans on April 30, 1834. They continued up the Mississippi River and the Ohio River, disembarking in Louisville, Kentucky. They settled in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in the vicinity of Louisville, for 12 years, from 1834 to 1846, whereupon their sons then moved to Johnson County in the Iowa Territory. William died prior to October 1850, likely in Louisville Kentucky; it appears likely that he died in 1845-1846. There is record of a William O. Butler who was buried in Louisville, Kentucky on September 13, 1847 – it is possible that this may have been our William. Winifred was born in 1791 in Ireland; it is thought that she died in 1850; in any case, it was prior to October 1850. She may have been buried in Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa – but there is no digital record to affirm this assertion. So, again, there is not much to go on, but it looks as if William and his wife settled in Kentucky and never left that state while their sons ventured into Iowa – it's a rational assumption anyways.
