Aaron E. Butler

1) Aaron Butler (we're not sure if Susanna Williams was his wife's name) and his family, remained on the family farm, in VA. His mother lived with him in 1766 & by 1773 was living with s-i-l Wm. Watson. After Aaron's death, his two sons, Edmund (we call this family, "Edmund that went to Kentucky") & John sold this farm and moved north to Culpeper County, Virginia. Edmund Butler stayed in Culpeper about 24 years before moving his family to Kentucky, where most of them remain to this day except for his son, Elijah K. Butler and daughter, Nancy Butler. They moved to Missouri. John's family eventually moved to Giles/Maury Co., TN. Aaron died at the beginning of the revoluntionary war and did not fight. We were told that, Edmund, Aaron's son did fight, we have found no proof of this.

He received 147 acres of his father's land as recorded in his father's will of 17 September 1747. On September 22, 1776, he sold this land. He wrote a will on October 13, 1776 in Cumberland County (earlier Goochland County), Virginia; this will was proved on March 24, 1777 and July 28, 1777 also in Cumberland County, Virginia. He may have married Susanna Williams.
