General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Butler, Esq.

---

A graduate of Dartmouth College in 1842, he read law and practiced it at Boston, Massachusetts, settling later at Rutherford, New Jersey.

This family has an interesting ancient lineage, both in America, where the line traces through Caleb Butler, of Revolutionary days, and Deacon John Butler, first settler at Pelham, New Hampshire; to James Butler, who located at Lancaster, Massachusetts (Nashaway) in 1659; and also in England and Ireland, where it traces through Theobald Fitz-Walker, who married a sister of Thomas a' Becket, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, becoming later "Chief Butler" of Ireland by appointment of Henry II, and consequently progenitor of the Butler family, to Fitz-Walter, one of the Dukes of Normandy, who went with William the Conqueror to England in 1066.
