William Butler was a militia captain during the Creek War of 1813-1814.
Per Shannon Gorman:
January 21, 1787: Edmund and Mary Butler moved to Greene County, Georgia prior to April 9, 1788, when Edmund witnessed (along with Henry Graybill) a deed for two hundred and eighty-seven and a half acres from Milly & Benjamin Gilbert, Jr (of Greene/Hancock County, Georgia) to James Garrett of Charlotte Co., Virginia for 100 pounds.[1]
In the 1794 Hancock County Georgia Tax List, Captain Lucas' District, William was listed next to Edmund Butler, Jr. (presume this was his father)[1]
