Notes
- Sources consistently spell John's middle name Pomfert, and his mother's maiden name (including the name of his father) as Pomfret. Some sources also have a middle name for one of John's sisters as Mary Pomfret Butler.
I have seen no reference in any source to this difference in spelling. I would think it inadvertent, since it is an easy typo. But because the difference is consistent it seems to be purposeful. The Vermont town is spelled Pomfret.
I have found that David Lee reports this person, who married Mary Polly Hunt, and father of William H Butler, as John I Butler, but with the same dates and info as the sources reporting his name as John Pomfret Butler.
David Lee also reports different birth information for William H Butler, with birth date 4 April 1800 in Granville Co NC, and death in 15 Mar 1861 in Panola Co MS. Other sources report William H (Hunt) Butler born in 1816 in Giles Co TN.
