Y-DNA test proves this lineage connected with the line of a Michael Butler, born circa 1825 in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland, and no other of the 500 male Butlers who have Y-DNA tested. A good clue, and thus working hypothesis, is that James L. Butler's father came to North America from Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland, and was the right age to have son James L. Butler in Maryland in 1812.

Irish parish records are on the internet now; Clonmel parish-baptized male Butlers born 1760-1796 are all best known candidates for the identity of James L. Butler's father. Irish history 1760-1812 gives context, & suggests incentive for moving from Ireland to Maryland.

Butler-10496 and Butler-12700 appear to represent the same person because: Overlapping biography, born 1812 in Maryland, moved to Pleasant, Seneca Ohio, married Catherine Brinkman
