Burial: Gilman Road Cemetery Hinesburg Chittenden County Vermont, USA

Thomas Butler was born circa 1745-1746 16 in Middletown, Middlesex Co., Connecticut. He died on August 5, 1815 16 in Hinseburg(h), Chittenden Co., Vermont. He is buried in the Gilman Road Cemetery, Hinesburg, Chittenden Co., Vermont.

Father: John Butler Mother: Sarah Foster

   Thomas was most likely born in Middletown, Connecticut, but his birth record is not recorded in the town. His father died in 1747 or 1748, when Thomas was only 2 or 3 years of age. Then, Thomas' mother died before 1754, when he was no older than 9 years of age. As a young orphan, Thomas' whereabouts over the next 10 or 15 years are questionable. It seems that Thomas and his siblings were dispersed into the guardianship of different relatives. It is likely that Thomas went to live in Wallingford (in the part that is now Meriden), Connecticut to live with some older siblings. Eventually, as a young adult he went to Salisbury, Connecticut. There, he married Jane White in 1769.

   Thomas and Jane began raising a family in Salisbury, Connecticut. In about 1776-1778, they moved away from Salisbury. It appears that they moved to Adams, Massachusetts, where they probably only lived for a handful of years. In 1785, they moved with their family to Hinesburg(h), Vermont 23. Thomas and his wife remained in Hinesburg for the duration of their lives. Thomas wrote his will on October 6, 1814, in which he named his wife and his 8 surviving children.

Thomas married Jane White on June 1, 1769 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Connecticut 12,13. She was born on August 27, 1752 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Connecticut 17. She died on March 4, 1834 16 in Hinesburg(h), Chittenden Co., Vermont. She is buried in the Gilman Road Cemetery, Hinesburg, Chittenden Co., Vermont.

Father: Ruloff White Mother: Maritjen Knickerbocker

They had the following children:

   1 	Polly Butler was born on November 20, 1770 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Connecticut 12,13. She died after 1814.

       She married Mr. Brown.

       Polly was probably married before the enumeration of the 1790 census. She was listed in her father's will of 1814 as Polly Brown. One possibility of her husband's identity was a Barzilla Brown who was living in Fairfield, Vermont in 1790 and 1800, next to Polly's sister Hannah. Nothing furhter is known at this time.

   2 	Hannah Butler

   3 	John Butler was born on August 28, 1774 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Connecticut. He died sometime between 1790 and 1814.

       John was probably unmarried. The International Genealogical Index and some questionable sources provide the above birthdate in Salisbury, yet the town apparently does not record his birth. John was apparently living in his father's household in 1790. He was not mentioned in his father's will of 1814, and it is assumed he was dead by that time.

   4 	Sarah Butler was born on May 15, 1776 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Connecticut 12,13. She died on April 15, 1859 in Constable, Franklin Co., New York 6. She is buried in the Arnold Cemetery, Malone, Franklin Co., New York.

       She married Daniel Bassett circa 1795 in Vermont. (She was born circa March 9, 1769 6 in Connecticut and died on July 26, 1865 in Constable, Franklin Co., New York 6. He is buried in the Arnold Cemetery, Malone, Franklin Co., New York.)

           They had the following children:

           Asa Bassett (1796-1865)

           md. Roba

           Ameda Bassett (1798-aft. 1810)

           Orrisca Bassett (1800-1852)

           md. Thomas J. Webb

           Amanda Bassett (1804-aft. 1880)

           Jetty Bassett (1806-aft. 1810)

           William Bassett (1807-???)

           md. Caroline

           Sally Mariah Bassett (1809-1874)

           Howard L. Bassett (1811-aft. 1880)

           md. 1st. Mary

           md. 2nd. Margaret

           John Bassett (1813-aft. 1830)

           Roba Bassett (1815-???)

           md. Alonzo Hutchins

           Thomas Bassett (1818-aft. 1820)

       Sally and her family lived in Hinesburg, Vermont until sometime during the 1830's, when they moved to Constable, New York.

   5 	Ruloff Butler was born circa 1778 in Massachusetts 18. He died on July 1, 1858 11 in Bellevue, Eaton Co., Michigan. He is buried in the Spaulding Cemetery, Bellevue, Eaton Co., Michigan.

       He married Matilda Ives on April 7, 1805 in Adams, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts. (She was born circa 1782 and died on January 9, 1837 11 in Bellevue, Eaton Co., Michigan. She is buried in the Spaulding Cemetery, Bellevue, Eaton Co., Michigan.)

           They had at least four children:

           Maria Butler (1810-1879)

           md. Phineas Sargent Spaulding

           Susanna Butler (c. 1813-aft. 1880)

           md. Lews L. Barnes

           Jane Butler (c. 1821-1903)

           md. Manning Bailey

           William H. Butler (1823-1861)

           md. Elizabeth

   6 	White Butler was born circa 1781 19, probably in Massachusetts. He died on April 11, 1840 19 in Canton, Saint Lawrence Co., New York. He is buried in the Olin Cemetery, Canton, Saint Lawrence Co., New York.

       He married Elizabeth. (She was born circa 1789 19 and died on December 31, 1836 19 in Canton, Saint Lawrence Co., New York. She is buried in the Olin Cemetery, Canton, Saint Lawrence Co., New York.

           Sometime between 1810 and 1820, White moved to Canton, New York, where he remained. According to census enumerations, he and his wife probably had 6 or 7 children, yet the identities of none of these children are known.

   7 	Jane Butler was born on February 9, 1783 in Adams, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts 7. She died on March 20, 1823 in Middletown, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania 7. She is buried in the Middletown Center Cemetery, Middletown, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania.

       She married Samuel Wilson circa 1801 in Vermont. (He was born on February 26, 1780 7 and died on March 22, 1864 in Middletown, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania 7. He is buried in the Middletown Center Cemetery, Middletown, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania.)

           They had the following children:

           Roswell Wilson (1802-???)

           Harry Wilson (1804-???)

           Abner Wilson (1806-???)
