Note to "maggie"
Hi Maggie:
At 7:21pm on August 29, 2009, you commented, "…who are your Butler?" I tried to comment back; will post a short comment here.
I am a direct descendant of John Butler (1745-1830). Prior to the Revolutionary War, John emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania; he served in the military most of his adult life. His final discharge occurred at Detroit (Hull's Surrender). John died at William's County, Ohio, leaving widow, "Lena." The SAR erected a memorial gravesite in John's honor at Florida, Ohio, in the late 1990s.
Butler, _The Butler Family in America_, 1909, was written about this particular Butler line. The work mentions John and John's father, James Butler. John Butler's siblings were Thomas Butler (1740-1832), William Butler (1753-1839), Jane (Butler) Mahan (1747-c1830), and Sarah Butler (1749-).
John Butler's uncle, Thomas Butler, emigrated with family to Pennsylvania. Thomas was the father of the men some refer to as, "The fighting Butlers." Of Thomas' sons, Lafayette is reported to have once said [paraphrased], "If I wanted a thing done well, I wanted a Butler to do it." Among the sons was Maj. Gen. Richard Butler (1743-1792) who died at St. Clair’s Defeat, near Fort Recovery.
Many placenames in the United States honor various members of this Butler line.
I descend of John Butler (1745-1830) by his dau., Asenath (Butler) (Preston) Thomas. Working from the Butler text mentioned and other histories, I've developed several reports. Some deal with peerage issues, others report on the effort to identify John's sons. Perhaps one day there will be an open Butler group on GW where some of the issues can be explored further.
References available on request. Hope this helps. -GJ

Hope things are well with you- I've been doing my best to keep up on the group, when I can :)

I saw your message from last July. I am a direct descendant of Jan Basiansen Kortright who immigrated to NYC from Leerdam, Holland in 1663. My branch eventually moved to West Virginia and the name became Cutright. My paternal great-grandmother was Lola Cutright. I just found out about the Lowe branch which ended up in Somerset County, NJ about three weeks ago. I've been working in Somerset Cty for almost seven years and now live here as well. I am fasciniated by the twists and turns of genealogy.

I hope everything is OK with you. We miss your presence on GenealogyWise.

I was wondering if you had the chance to look for the Death Certificate Repository yet and I was on Family Search again and typed in G.B. Bryant and there is another one on there with an estamated b. of 1912 and married to a Lucia Brinkers of Brinkley Arkansas, now is this a possibilty that this could be my father and his first wife.
Willette
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Thanks for looking for that info for me.

It's Willette, it's been awhile, I am still doing my research, just haven't had no luck still, but I wanted to know what is a good place to order my grandmothers death certificate from.
Thanks
Willette
I checked again on film #s I have read on Petra Gomez, I actually need her daughter Juliana's father, she may be "hija natural" I went to FH SLC and read another film..no luck..actually I see that I have not read the film # you suggested, I have to go back and get busy. I also need to find my grt-grandfather Jose Ramon Vela's birth, my dad told me he is from Cerralvo N.L I have his marriage, when his children were born (Mier, Tamaulipas..and I have his death certificate (Cuero, TX) Under Ramon BELA! I would have never found it under VELA!
Thanks for all the hard work you do.
