These family papers center around the family of Edward George Washington Butler (1800- 1888), the son of Col. , one of the “Five Fighting Butlers” of Revolutionary War fame. Edward G. W. Butler was married to Frances Parke Lewis of Woodlawn Plantation, Virginia. She was the daughter of Eleanor Parke Custis and Lawrence Lewis of Woodlawn Plantation. E. G. W. Butler was made the ward of General after the death of his father. After graduation from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, Butler served in the U. S. Army as 2nd Lieutenant, 4th Artillery (1821), as Second on Topographical Duty (1820-1923), as Aide de Camp to Bvt. Major General Edmund Pendleton Gaines, and as Acting Asst. Adjutant General, Eastern and Western Departments, 1823-1831. Butler resigned from the Army on May 28, 1831. During the years 1846-1847, Butler served as Maj. General in the State Militia. In 1847 he was reappointed to the U. S. Army, with the rank of Colonel, Third Dragoons. He served in the Mexican War, in command of the District of the Upper , from September, 1847 - June 1848. After his marriage, Butler lived in Louisiana, where he owned and worked several plantations in the Iberville Parish area. His primary residence was Dunboyne Plantation, Iberville Parish, La. He died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888.

The Butler Family Papers consist of correspondence (1778-1972) between family members, including letters from John Parke Custis to George Washington, and from Andrew Jackson to various family members. Other letters include series of correspondence from Robert and Caroline [Butler] Bell of Louisiana, Richard Henry Lee, Eliza Butler Donelson, , Edmund Pendleton Gaines, Andrew Jackson Donelson, Morgan Lewis, and many other correspondents.

The Butler Family Papers also include papers of Andrew Hynes during his tenure as Adjutant General of Tennessee, and those of the Tennessee Militia for the years 1812-1815. Some papers of Edmund Pendleton Gaines (1816-1832) are in the collection. Edward G. W. Butler served with Gaines during the 1825 negotiations with the Creek Indians, and many of his notes and observations of these talks are to be found in the Butler Family Papers.

The collection contains other Family Military Papers (1816-1861), Family Records (1803-1844), Property Documents from Iberville Parish, La. (1805-1861), Financial Records (1779-1896), and photographs (1865-1941). Bound volumes include a Housekeeping Book kept by Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis (1831-1835), a record book of the Third Dragoons (1847-1848). This book contains some miscellaneous entries made prior to 1847 and several plantation record books, account books, and journals. Printed military Orders, Acts and Registers (1815-1870) concerned with Indian treaties, and western frontier defenses complete the collection.

In addition, the collection includes typed and handwritten transcripts, as well as photocopies, of Butler Family correspondence (dates of originals, 1776-1880). A small number of these copies are of original letters found elsewhere in the collection. For the majority, however, the transcriber, date of transcription, or date of photocopy, are all unknown. The owners of the Williams Research Center, MSS 102, page 2 original letters are also unknown. It is likely that Edward Gay Butler transcribed the letters, or had the letters transcribed.
