Research Notes

1. ) The original GED import from Ancestry.com cited two death record sources, and recorded a date death of 20 Mar 1780, for the Daniel Butler of this profile. However, that information is incorrect because the 20 Mar 1780 death date and the associated sources offering this information belong to a Daniel Butler, son of Thomas and Abigail (Shepard) Butler who was born in 1704 not 1714. Hence there is no known source for death data for the Daniel Butler of this profile and the data in those fields have been removed.
