Biography

Jacob Butcher was the patriarch of the Butcher Family in the Big Sandy Valley. He was of German ancestry and had been raised in a German-speaking household, only knowing English as a second language.

With a combination of German and broken English, he once compared his first wife Hannah Beverly and second wife Arta Dotson by saying "Ter Pefferlys iss nice people but ter Teuffel (the Devil-ed) iss in ter Totsons!"

It was said that Jacob loved to eat fish and would walk to Greasy Creek or Two Mile Creek with a hook, line and pole. He would spend the day catching sundad and bluegill fish which were often prepared for dinner by Arta or their daughters.

When the ladies once expressed concern about Jacob choking on a small fish bone, he laughed and replied "I'll swaller the bones, too!"

Jacob was the paternal second great-grandfather of Maybelle Addington Carter. He was the maternal third great-grandfather of June Carter Cash and maternal fourth great-grandfather of Carlene Carter and John Carter Cash. He was also the paternal third great-grandfather of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.

Jacob is reportedly buried in the Meek Cemetery across from the mouth of Hurricane Fork of Greasy Creek at Boons Camp.

Butcher-1957 and Butcher-1298 appear to represent the same person because: same mother and spouses - Father to be merged as well
Butcher-1298 and Butcher-1957 are not ready to be merged because: Not sure they are the same

I was looking around and noticed something that you might be interested in. I am related to both Loretta Webb Lynn and Valarie June Carter Cash. Their Webb ancestors meet at the same area, Johnson Co, KY. I am certain that they are related, but I do not know where. Just thought that I would share that with you.
