I'm researching John Pomfert Butler B abt 1770 NC and
Mary Shoats b: abt 1770 Va
They had 8 or 9 children, some born in SC and some born in TN.
one son was
Thomas Christopher Butler b 1814 SC D 1882 AR
Married 1. Margaret Mary Brumbelow 1818-1850
Married 2. Margaret Ann Lewis 1829-1902

Cannot find anything at all on Mary Shoats...was she Cherokee?
