I'm slow, but I finally read all these posts in order. I have been trying to figure out who the Illinois Butlers in Texas were. I thought they might be my family. James from Illinois b. 1806 is living by a William (1860 Beat 2 Fannin County census)
I am looking for another James who was in the 1830 census in Jackson Missouri.
Then I had confirmation yesterday that I am looking for a James b. 1699 Maine.
I wish we had a few more Joes Bobs or Clydes. I start to feel everyones name is James or William.
