Among the earliest settlers in Butler Township was Hugh Barnett, born in 1795. He and his wife, Mary Cox Barnett, were natives of Kentucky and settled in St. Clair County in 1838. They were leading citizens for many years and have left the impress of their energy and character upon Butler Township. Mr. Barnett was one of the original representatives when Missouri was admitted to the Union in 1821. The Barnetts were in good circumstances on their arrival, not much wealth but enough to purchase their land without hardship. They were the parents of twelve children: Ellen, John, William, Kisiah, Susan, Jonus, Pleasant, Joseph, Hugh, Mary, Martha and Marcus. -- Lowry City Centennial Book 1871-1971
