BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE
The Butlers were cotton and sugar planters centered in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana at a home called The Cottage. Judge Thomas Butler (1785-1847), born in Pennsylvania, moved to Pinckneyville, Mississippi Territory in 1809. An attorney, Butler worked for many of the merchants in southwest Mississippi and in the Feliciana Parish. In 1813, he was appointed judge of the Louisiana Third District Court after moving near St. Francisville and later was elected to the United States Congress, serving as a representative from 1818 to 1821. Butler was a Louisiana gubernatorial candidate twice in the 1820s and lost both elections.
In the late 1830s he began to develop cotton and sugar plantations in West Feliciana Parish and Terrebonne Parish. Butler’s interests extended also to higher education, and he served as president of the Board of Trustees of the Louisiana College at Jackson, Louisiana. He was also a member of the Louisiana Historical Society.
Thomas Butler married Ann Ellis (died 1878), daughter of Abram Ellis, in 1813, and they lived at The Cottage with their children Pierce (died 1888), Richard (died 1908), Robert (died 1874), Edward (died 1887), Margaret (died 1890), Sarah (died 1888), Anna (died 1902), and Mary (died 1914)1. After Thomas Butler’s death in 1847, Ann and Pierce continued to operate the sugar plantations.
Anna Butler spent a year in Washington, D.C. at the White House where she met foreign dignitaries and politicians, and she attended Congressional sessions where she heard debates on the major issues of the day, particularly states’ rights, fugitive slaves, and abolition.
Edward Butler and Thomas Butler’s grandsons Thomas Butler and James P. Butler served in the Confederate Army as officers, the latter under Braxton Bragg in the Gulf Coast states and in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

SCOPE AND CONTENT
The Butler Family Papers consist of correspondence, legal papers, manuscript writings, financial papers, printed items, records, and photographs which chronicle the lives of the Butler family members from their arrival in Mississippi and Louisiana in 1809 through the mid-twentieth century.
Early documents such as depositions, legal papers, and correspondence pertain primarily to the political and judicial career of Thomas Butler, a Congressional representative, an attorney, and a judge. Highlights of the early material include correspondence from Jacques Villere, William C. C. Claiborne, and Henry Clay and a Spanish land grant and proclamation signed by Carondelet.
Other antebellum materials, family and business correspondence, records, and financial papers, reflect social life and customs and the economics of the planter and slave-owning class. Records include slave lists and a deposition on the health of a slave. Financial papers consist of accounts, receipts, bills, and acts of sale for both land and slaves. Correspondence relates primarily to family news and plantation business. One letter from a slave owner to a slave woman whom he had sold reflects the relationship between owner and slave and the breaking up of families in slave sales.
Letters written by Anna Butler to her family between 1849 and 1850 discuss life at the White House, where she lived during Zachary Taylor’s administration. She attended Congressional sessions, and in her letters to families she comments on the debates raging in both houses as well as the major political personalities.
Civil War letters from Confederate officers to Butler family members provide personal narratives of the war on the Gulf Coast and in Vicksburg, Mississippi and Tennessee. One Butler served under General Braxton Bragg. He and his wife were family friends, and several letters by the Braggs are in the collection.
Later nineteenth and twentieth-century papers originated largely from Louise Butler, descendant of the planters, and consist of printed religious items from the Episcopal Church, financial materials concerning inheritances, estates, and investments, and correspondence from notable persons including: Grace King, Cammie Henry, Francois Mignon, Lyle Saxon, and Constance Rourke. Another significant correspondent is relative Gervase Butler, who wrote letters while fighting in the Second World War in North Africa.
Photographs in the collection depict various Butler family members, including judge Thomas Butler and properties owned by the family. The collection also contains manuscript and published music of the 19th century, including the music of John Thuer.
