John D Butler married "Nancy Bell" Nelson 11 Nov 1843 Pontotoc Co MS aka Ancy Bell /Ansabell

First child Matilda C Butler born in MS in 1844 they left MS arrived in Texas around 1845 - 1846. Matilda C married or died before 1860 around age of 16. Sylva Butler also appears to have died before 1860.

Rachel V Isaack widow 07 Dec 1847 Texas - 15 Mar 1915 Croft?, Cherokee Co TX per son W H Isaacks father was W H Butler born MS mother a Nelson born TN

C A Ray was California Butler named a son Butler Ray born 22 Feb 1876; married G W Ray about 1877 and listed in Henderson Co TX census in 1880. California "Callie" Butler Ray then married a BARTEE and was widowed by 1900 and living with mother "Emma" Harper in Tyler in 1900.

I find Hudson Butler to be born in Virginia per 1850 and 1860 census in Monroe Co MS probably married in SC.
