Including the research of Retha Louise Butts Flaherty, numerous obituaries provided by Bradley Vance Butts, the family tree of Butts, Button and Hershberger, War of 1812 pension request made by Margaret Keeling Butts, photograph of tombstone of James Keeling, father of Margaret etc...Unless other information becomes available, I'll call her Margaret Keeling.
