“Hi Sandy,
I would really appreciate it if you could look in your book for an Eleanor Butcher. The only information I have on her is that she married a Joseph Dick on March 14, 1822 in Cabell County, VA. I believe she may have been a sister of Reuben Butcher. Any information you might find would be appreciated.
Dorothy and Debi”

Re: Info. on Thomas Jefferson Butcher

“Bill, I really have no more information on this Susan than that. If your Susan was already in MS by 1820 and stayed there, then I doubt this is the same one. I cannot really tell the exact date that she was orphaned from the Cabell County Minute Book 3, which is an abstract of the actual minutes of court records, meaning what I have seen of them is incomplete. From what I have been told these were compiled from several court record books, (no actual book called the "minutes"), I have tried to find more information on this but have so far met with no luck. There is supposedly more information to be obtained about orphans of Cabell County than what was put into these minute books. Some people have even told me these records were lost, I really have no idea. A lot of the court record microfilms I have looked at for Cabell County are illegible. There was a Susan Butcher who married a Richard Midkiff in 1843 in Cabell County, but other than this marriage record, I can find nothing of them as a family in Cabell County. There was a James Butcher who was born in 1842 and who on his marriage record in Cabell County lists a Susan Butcher as his mother (but NO FATHER). I have run across some of his descendants and am also trying to help them find out who this Susan is, as I feel certain she is tied into my Butcher line in some way.
In 1817 Butchers first came into Cabell County, they show up on tax lists then, a William and a Samuel, then in the following years there was also a William Jr., James, Reuben, Thomas Jefferson, Sarah, and by 1833 my GGG Grandfather, Matthew Hamilton Butcher is on the lists. The Thomas Jefferson who married Susan Peyton was Matthew's son. William Sr. is last in the tax lists in 1825, then Sarah is on for the next years, I figure Sarah to have been his widow, as I have determined through census records that Wm. Sr. was old. Samuel died in Cabell Co. as he was mentioned in this minute book as having an orphaned son, named William, who was bonded out, this was in 1828 or 1829. It may be possible that Susan was his daughter , but the minute book did not say so, only that she was orphaned. I also think Reuben died in this same time frame, as he was last on tax lists then, and he was never listed on any census. By the 1840 census records and by tax lists, my Matthew was the only Butcher in Cabell County. By 1850 my family line and the line of Reuben Butcher (minus Reuben) with his son James being the head of that household were the only families in Cabell, with the exception of the James with the mother named Susan being a small boy in another household.
Matthew Hamilton Butcher married Lucinda Tackett in 1832, besides their son Thomas Jefferson, they had sons named Lewis Martin and John Tyler and daughters named Elizabeth, Sarah, Julia, America, and Adeline. I have told you all this so that you might have a feel for any of the names that were in this family as I have found they do seem to name their children after other family members. I have no idea of the why's of how mine came to be in Cabell County, nor even who my Matthew's father was. This is what I am still seeking. For all I know there may have been more of my Butchers who moved on from this point, and this was all who stayed, it's anyones guess.
Patty”

“I found Joshua to have first been on Monroe County Tax Lists in 1811, I saw him there for 1812 and 1813 also. These records are very faded, hard to read and I stopped looking. I did find him to first appear on Logan County Tax records in 1826 and every year through to 1850. Did he have a son named James? I find James on tax lists starting in 1836, then Allen is added in 1844, and Melvin S. in 1846, I don't see Melvin for any years but 1846 & 1847. The only Butcher I found to be in Logan County that I knew was a part of the Cabell County line was Rachel Butcher (wife of Reuben) and she had a brother living there for a while.”

“Did this William and Samuel move into the Cabell County area about 1818? I find a William and a Samuel on tax lists for Cabell County starting in 1818, also a William Jr. and a James. Then in a few years there is also Reuben, and a few years later, Thomas Jefferson. William Sr. disappears from the tax lists after 1825, and seems to be replaced by Sarah (his widow? she is on the list because she has a male 16 or above in the household). Samuel disappears from the tax lists after 1828. I did find mention of Samuel's death in the Cabell County Minute Book 3, and find his orphan son, William being bonded out. By 1833 my GGG Grandfather Matthew Hamilton Butcher is on the tax lists and by the late 1840's he is the only Butcher on the lists. He had a son named Thomas Jefferson, my GG Grandfather. I am trying to determine which of these men may have been his father. I feel that this William Sr. was the father of most of these men, including this Samuel. Do you have any other information to add to this? Thanks!”

I found your email address on an old genealogy forum post about the Butcher family. I was hoping that you might know anything about my Butcher ancestors:
Eleanor Butcher b. 1803 in Virginia, was married on 14 or 16 Mar 1822 in Cabell Co, Virginia to (John) Joseph Dick b. 1800. I have found info on their children, but would like to know more about siblings and parents of Eleanor Butcher. All I've found so far is that her father was William Butcher b. 1771 (unknown location), and that Eleanor had a brother, Reuben Butcher b. 1794 or 1797 in Rockingham Co, Virginia. Reuben married Rachael Dick on 1 Aug 1822 in Cabell Co., and Rueben died in Jun 1828 also in Cabell Co. If you have any other info on this family, I'd really appreciate it. I'd be glad to share anything I have about the family.
Thanks,
Stephanie Bradshaw
