Mary L. Brinkley married John Harrison Butler (b abt 1814 NC), and their first child was born in 1838. I have the first documentation of them in the 1850 Census of Jackson, Madison Co., TN, where they lived most of their lives and were buried. I am descended from their second daughter Araminta Paralee Butler McMillan (b 1840).

I would like to trace Mary Brinkley Butler's line back, but have no information on where she was born in NC or the names of her parents.

Sincerely, John W. Cross
