Brown printed in the Yarmouth ( N. S.) Herald in 1898. I have been able to supply, through Colonial records found, links missing in Brown's Butler lineage and through correspondence to amplify the family records which he gathered. My task of compilation and writing has been a one-man one to which I could devote only spare time outside of my regular occupation as a newspaper editor. It has involved a tremendous amount of correspondence with family groups concerned and reading of histories and other books, searching for ancient records in national and state archives, genealogical and public libraries, examination of court records, church records and old newspaper files. I have had the willing assistance of many kindred who have assembled family records for me, and to them I extend my gratefui thanks. I have con­ tacted as many family groups as I could find the time to, but still there are some listed in Brown's work that I could not get in touch with, and I regret that that had to be so. I have in­ cluded some accounts of ancestors of other names than Butler and not all that I would have liked to. The material for such narratives seems inexhaustible and with time for investigation limited it has been for me physically impossible to cover alone the whole vast field of research. I take satisfaction in the fact that I have been able to assemble more about our own Butler clan than has appeared in the writings of others. Their records, however, have been of invaluable assistance and I would not deprive them in any way of the full credit due them. ELMER E. 'BUTLER. Origin of the Butlers "The forms of entry of the name Butler are endless," writes Montgomery Seaver in Butler Family Records. "The name was both official and occupational. In the first case it was derived from the office of the Chief Butler of Ireland, an honor which was conferred upon Theobald-surname le Botiler or Butler-by Henry II in 1177, and which remained hereditary to his descendants for many generations. "As to the second derivation, we find in the York pageant of 1415 the 'Botilers', the 'Capmakers', and 'Pouchmakers' all walking together in procession. They were all obviously en­ gaged in the leather manufacture. The idea of a bottle, as understood by our forefathers five hundred years ago, was that of a leathern case to hold liquids or solids. Thus we see the 'botiler' was often identical with the pouchmaker. A few of the old forms of the name are 'Butelere', 'Buteller", 'Boytler', and 'Bottler». Mention is made in the roll of Battell Abbey, 1066, o f 'B ote1 ere. '" "Origin and History of the Name Butler," by the American Publishers' Association, states: "The surname Butler is derived from the office of King's Butler, which was conferred upon Theobald, surnamed le Boteler, by the King in 1177, and re­ mained hereditary in his descendants for many generations. "The surname may sometimes be derived from the Anglo­ Saxon hotel or botyl, an abode or mansion; and may also sig­ nify, like the recognized Botel-weard, a house steward. "The Botiler was in ordinary life a wine merchant or butler. The King's Botiler was an officer of considerable im­ portance, almost the same as collector of customs in modern 2 BUTLERS AND KINSFOLK ports. In virtue of his office he was empowered to seize for the King's use, from every ship laden with ,vine, one cask from the prow and one cask from the poop, paying for each the sum of twenty shillings." · Discussing in ''Butleriana" the traditionary origin of the Butlers, James Davie

The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.

Most commonly, he appears as follows. The infantryman stands with one foot forward, the butt of the rifle (rifled musket) between his feet, hands grasping the muzzle, left over right, accoutrements and bayonet suspended from his waist belt, and the coat’s hood falling over the shoulders as a cape. He wears facial hair and the uniform hat which was known as the kepi when worn by an officer, sometimes as a “bummer” when worn by an enlisted man. The kepi was indeed generally worn; it is an authentic and realistic feature; slouch hats were popular in the Western theater. The soldier enerally is of stone, usually granite, but sometimes bronze. P There is something special about such an object, as it provides a tangible link to the past. Thousands of local townsmen who long ago formed the state’s volunteer regiments, who engaged the Rebel army in legendary battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Cold Harbor, who perished in Andersonville prison, and who returned but never forgot, are encapsulated into this communal form.

    THE JOURNAL OF RICHARD BUTLER, 1775* Continental Congress' Envoy to the Western Indians Edward G. Williams happens with all civilwars, the war of the American Revolu- tion exhibited many interesting associations, contrasts and Asfamily relationships. Many families were split, as were the Franklins, father and son, Benjamin and William. There were many brother groups, a few of which itmay be interesting to mention. On the British side there were the Howe brothers, Sir William and Lord Richard. Virginia had the Lees, Richard Henry, Arthur and William, none of whom was military, and their cousins, Colonel "Light Horse Harry" and Charles. Virginia also had the five sons of the same mother, Colonel John, Colonel Hugh, James, Marcus and Richard Stephenson and Colonel William and Valentine Crawford. Then there were the Washington brothers, George, Samuel, John A., and Charles, only one of whom was militarily inclined, and their cousin, Colonel William who had a claim to laurels of his own. New York had her famous brothers Clinton, Generals George and James. Pennsylvania had Colonels George and John Gibson; Colonels Benja- min and James, Captain Robert, also Joseph Chambers ;also the six giant Brady brothers, Captain Samuel, John, William, James, (later General) Hugh and Robert. Many more such family groups might be mentioned, but none as a whole can claim distinction greater than the five Butler brothers of Cumberland Valley,all commissioned officers in the Continental Army. Richard, the eldest, was probably born in Dublin, Ireland, before Thomas Butler brought his family to America and settled near the mouth of Conewago Creek 1 on land which became York County with Mr.
