I need to prove/disprove Elisha's birth. I have a fistful
of sources that claim he was born in Hartford Connecticut.
Upon inquiry, Hartford (both city and county) denies it.
I'm ONLY interested in his parentage; I have more than I
want about his descendants -- who do NOT include Benjamin B.
Names of children are included in case one of them happens
to be a "marker" for a specific line of Butlers.
Elisha Smith BUTLER was born on 8 Jun 1798 in Hartford, ,
CN. He died on 5 Apr 1888 in Tyrone, , PA. He was a
Methodist minister. PROBABLY a brother to the Rev. William
Butler. Family has visited and photographed the cemetery.
Elisha married (1) Sarah COUSERT about 1824. Sarah died
about 1835.
They had the following children:
2 M. Joseph Wesley BUTLER was born about 1824. He died as a
child before 1850.
3 M William Henry Harrison BUTLER was born about 1826. He
died as a child before 1850
4 M Elisha Smith BUTLER was born about 1828. He died as a
child before 1850.
5 M Frank T BUTLER died in after 1888, , Wisconsin. [NOT yet
a proven child; single reference to him, in Wisconsin, that
mentions his parents by name.]
Elisha married (2) Martha Greene GANOE daughter of James
GANOE and Barbara SCHMIDT OR SNYDER on 31 Dec 1841. Martha
