John Johnson Butler - Sarah Rebecca Webb in Alabama

I am looking for any information on my second great grandparents. She was Sarah Rebecca Webb. She went by Rebecca and was born around 1814, possibly Georgia. She married John Johnson Butler around 1837 in Alabama. He was born around 1808, possibly North Carolina. They settled in Louisiana, living in Rapides Parish, Claiborne Parish and Union Parish around the Downsville area. They both died in Union Parish. It is believed that he was buried at Mount Ararat near Point and she is buried at Mt Patrick or Mt Tabor near Shiloh. However, there is no record of the burial of either one.

They had 13 children. Most of them settled in Claiborne Parish but some ended up in Texas.

Mary C Butler 1837 –
Lafayette Butler 1838 –
Owen Cassandra Butler 1839 – 1880
Saphronia V Butler 1843 – 1922
Alice Ann Butler 1844 – 1865
John Johnson Butler Jr. 1845 – 1917
Minerva Caledonia Butler 1846 –
Robert Clinton Butler 1853 – 1906
Sidney C Butler 1853 – 1933
William Pratt Butler 1854 – 1935
Eldridge P Butler 1854 – 1854
George Algernon Butler 1856 – 1911
Josephine A Butler 1857 – 1911

Their youngest daughter Josephine Butler Tabor was my great grandmother. There are several great great grandchildren looking for this information and so far nothing has been found or proven. It appears they both fell out of the sky the day they were married. There also seems to be hundreds of John Butlers. I recently saw mentions of a Lafayette Butler on here and was hoping there may be a connection.

Any information would be appreciated.
