5301. Manley Butler
Info on descendants of Daniel Butler provided by Diane Ryan.
A Manly Butler is on the 1840 and 1850 census index as residing in Ephratah, Fulton Co., NY. In 1840 Manly listed on pg 367 and a John Butler listed on page 364. No other Butlers in Ephratah. Diane states in her response on 1/16/99 that "I surmise that the John Butler ... is his brother John who lived on Fulton County around that time ... his family kept wonderful records and his descendants have submitted elaborate family trees to the LDS ... I have tried to contact them but the addresses I have received for submitters are out of date ... I did not know that John was there so nearby in the census, so will look him up."
See notes on father George. Per familysearch.com, Manly had a brother John but he was born 18 Jan 1790. I suspect that the younger John (b. 1810/11) was a nephew of Manley, possibly the son of Daniel, Joseph, Samuel, Sire or John. I will enumerate him as the suspect son of John until further research proves otherwise. BudPer 2nd email from Diane 1/13/99: (s1628)
