Nathan M. Butler died April 4, 1842, in Sangamon county, and his widow died Oct. 14, 1851, in Menard county. N. M. Butler was a soldier in the war of IS12, and was in the battle of New Orleans. He was Col. of a regiment in the Black Hawk war of 1831-32.

BUTLER, WILLIAM, was born Dec. 15, 1797, in Adair county, Ky. During the war of 1812 he was selected to carry important dispatches from the Gov- ernor of Kentucky to Gen. Harrison, in the field. He traveled on horseback, and made the trip successfully, although he was but fifteen years of age. When a young man he was employed in the iron works of Tennessee, and after that was deputy of the Circuit Clerk for Adair county, Ky. While thus engaged, he made the acquaintance of a young lawyer, now the venerable Judge Stephen T. Logan, of this city. The friendship thus formed continued through life. Mr. But- ler spent a portion of his time as clerk on a steamboat. In 1828 he came to Sanga- mon county, and purchased a farm in Is- land Grove. On that farm his father, Elkanah Butler, lived and died. William Butler came to Springfield, and was soon after appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court, by his early friend, Judge Logan, March 19, 1836, and resigned March 22, 1841. He was appointed, by Gov. Bissell, State Treasurer, August 29, 1859, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of State Treasurer Miller. He was elected to the same office in 1860 for two years. William Butler and Elizabeth Rickard were married Dec. IS, 1832. They had three children, namely-

SALOME E., born in Springfield, and now resides on South Sixth street, at the family homestead.

SPEED, born Aug. 7, 1837, in Springfield. He graduated at the Luther- an University in Springfield, in 1854, studied law, and was admitted to practice in 1860. When the rebellion came upon the country in 1861, Speed Butler was selected by the Governor of Illinois to

carry a dispatch to Washington City, ask- ing for an order to remove the United States arms from the Arsenal at St. Louis to Alton, Ill. Railroad and telegraphic communication to the Capital was cut off, but he managed to make his way through, obtained the order, and returned in safety. The arms were removed just in time to keep them from falling into the hands of the rebels. Soon after completing that service he was appointed Commissary, with the rank of Captain, but was at once assigned to duty on Gen. Pope's staff, and was with that officer during his campaign in North Missouri, at Island No. 10, &c. In Sept., 1861, he was appointed Major of the 5th Ill. Cav. For gallantry on the battle-field at Farmington, Miss., in June, 1862, he was promoted to Colonel in the regular army ; but still, by permission from Gen. Wool, he remained on duty with Gen. Pope. He shared the fortunes of that officer during the Virginia campaign, as also in Minnesota against the Indians. He served until the close of the rebellion, in 1865.

Col. Speed Butler was married May 26, 1864, in Milwaukee, Wis., to Jeannie Mckenzie Arnold, who was born Sept. 4. 1845, in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. They have three children, ANNIE L., ELIZ- ABETH and ARNOLD W., and live near Springfield, on the southwest.

HENRY WIRT, born Feb. 11, 1840, in Springfield, graduated in 1859 at Brown University, Providence, R. I., and was married May 9, 1867, to Helen McCler- nand, daughter of Gen. John A. McCler- nand. She was born in Springfield, and died April 26, 1870, leaving one child, WILLIAM J. H. W. Butler and son live in Springfield.

Mrs. Elizabeth Butler died March 2, 1869, and Hon. William Butler died Jan. 11, 1876, both in Springfield.

CALDWELL, WILLIAM was born Dec. 15, 1779, in Nansemond county, Va. His father, Thomas Cald- well, was born in Ireland, and married there to Betsy Harris, a Welch lady. They emigrated to America, and landed at Charleston, South Carolina, where they remained a short time, and then moved to

EARLY SETTLERS OF

Virginia. At the time of Thomas Cald- well's death, he and his wife had a home in the family of the son William. John C. Calhoun was related on the side of his mother to the Caldwell family, and there is the source from which that distinguished statesman obtained his middle name: John Caldwell Calhoun. When William Cald- well was a youth, his parents left Virginia and moved to Jessamine county, Ky. Naney Roberts was born Sept. 24, 1782, in Goochland county, V?, and when young, went to Jessamine county, Ky. William Caldwell and Nancy Roberts were married Feb. 7, 1804. They had six living children in Jessamine county, and the family moved to Green county, Ill., in 1831, and in 1836 moved to Sangamon county, Ill., and settled in what is now Auburn township. Of their children-

GEORGE L., born Dee. 6, 1804, in Kentucky, married Sept. 10, 1829, to Polly Roberts. She inherited two negro slaves (a man and woman) from the estate of her father. On May 7, 1830, they took ad- vantage of the absence of Mr. Caldwell, who was Sheriff of the county at the time, and strangled his wife to death with a small cord. They then placed her in a natural position in bed, bandaged her head, and placed such medicines on a stand, within her reach, as she would have been likely to use if she had been indisposed, and left her until it was discovered by other members of the family. The bruises on the neek excited suspicion, and the blaeks being charged with the erime, confessed that . they had taken her life, hoping by that means to be sent to their former home. The man was an old, trusted carriage ser- vant, and forced the woman to assist him. They were tried, and, upon their own con- fession, convicted and hung. George L. Caldwell was married Sept. 27, 1831, to Eliza MeDowell. They had one son, and Mrs. Caldwell died June 18, 1839, and Mr. Caldwell died Sept. 30, 1840. Neither of them ever came to Sangamon county. Their son GEORGE M. CALD- WELL is the extensive stock-raiser near Williamsville, in this county.

YOHN, born Jan. 21, 1807, in Ken- tueky, came to Carrollton, III., in 1827. He was married there Jan. 23, 1834, to Mary J. Davis. She was born near Dan- ville, Ky., Jan. 16, 1815. When a young lady, she rode on horseback from Danville,

Ky., to Tallahassee, Florida, and returned to Danville, and after a short visit, con- tinued her journey to Carrollton, Ill., a dis- tance of at least two thousand miles. John Caldwell and wife had five children, namely: WILLIAM C., born March 15, 1835, married Jan. 14, 1864, to Sarah C. Baucom, who was born Nov. 16, 1840, in Sangamon county, They reside eight miles southwest of Springfield. JANE Y. died in her eleventh year; BETSY in her seventh year; HENRY died in in- fancy. BENJAMIN F., born Aug. 2, 1848, in Greene county, Ill., was married May 27, 1873, to Julia F. Cloyd, who was born March 7, 1856, in the southeast corner of Curran township, Sangamon county. Immediately after their marriage they left for New York, via Detroit and Suspension Bridge. At New York took steamer (June 4th ) for Queenstown, Ireland, where they landed June 14th. Passed through Ireland to Belfast; thence to Scotland, down through the centre of England to London; from there through Holland, Belgium and smaller German States, to Berlin, in Prussia; thence to Vienna Exposition, across the Alps into Italy, meeting with the unexpected pleas- ure of an audience with Pius the IX. Returning, passed through Mt. Cenis tun- nel, thence by Geneva to Paris; from Paris back to London, thence to Liverpool, taking steamer for Boston, where they arrived Oct. 6th, same year. Distance traveled in round trip, 14,000 miles. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Caldwell have one child, MARY JANE, who was born March 20, 1874. They reside near Chatham, Sanga- mon county, Ill. John Caldwell died of heart disease, Aug. 1, 1863, after a painful illness, and his widow resides eight and a half miles southwest of Springfield, and one and a half miles north of Chatham.

GANE R., born April 15, 1809, mar- ried in Kentucky to Minor T. Young. Came to Illinois, and she died Jan. 21, 1844, in Curran township.

ELIZABETH, born Aug. 17, 1812, married Jan. 12, 1831, to Albert G. Tal- bott. She died April 29, 1838, leaving three children in Kentucky, namely: MARY A. married Dr. William Tomlin- son. The sons are WILLIAM P. and ALBERT G., Jun.

sonville, Ill., while a student at Illinois College.

WILLIAM, Jun., horn Aug. 14, 1820, in Kentucky, married Sept. 30, 1842, in Mercer county, Ky., to Mary J. Camp- bell. Mr. Caldwell died June 29, 1844. His widow married Mr. - - Moore, and resides at Pleasant Hill, Cass county, Mo.

William Caldwell, Sen., died Aug. 1, 1844, and his widow died Dec. 19, 1858, both at the southeast corner of Curran township.

When he moved from Auburn to Cur- ran township, in 1841, there was not a place for holding religious worship near him. In order to afford temporary accom- modations, he constructed his residence in such a manner that it could be used for that purpose. It consisted of a large cen- tral room, with three other large rooms opening into it. Plans were laid, before his death, for building a church, and on his death bed he requested that it be called Bethel, which was done, as the Christian Church near where he lived bears that name. Mr. Caldwell was a man of great public spirit all his life. He was Captain of a company from Jessamine county, Ky., in the war of 1812. A younger brother was a member of his company, and was taken prisoner at the battle of the river Raisin. He came near freezing to death while confined in a rail pen in Canada. William Caldwell was Sheriff of Jessa- mine county, Ky., and represented the county several times in the State Legisla- ture .. He represented Sangamon county two terms in the Legislature of Illinois.

CALHOUN,-The origin of the family in America was with Andrew Cal- houn, who was born March 27, 1764, in Rye, Ireland. The family record speaks of his birth place as " Heland." That may have been a provincial name, or the original Gaellic name for Ireland. An- drew Calhoun was a near relative of the father of John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina. He came to America about 1792, and made his home in Boston, Mass. March 15, 1795, he was married at Chelms- ford, Mass., to Martha Chamberlin, who was born at the latter place, Feb. 20, 1770. She was a descendent of the Puritans. They had eight children, all born in Bos- ton. Their sixth child, YOHN, is the one of whom we wish to speak particularly, but will first briefly mention his brothers

and sisters, that the reader may under- stand the character of the family.

WILLIAM B., was a lawyer, and stood high in the profession. He lived in Springfield, Mass .; was speaker of the house of representatives eight years, and President of the Senate a number of years. He represented the Springfield district in Congress eight years. CHARLES was, for twenty consecutive years, Secre- tary of the Senate of Massachusetts. ANDREW H., left his native State and be- came connected with journalism in the State of New York. He served seven years on the Board of Canal Commis- sioners, and one term as Clerk of the State Senate. HENRY was a merchant in Mont- gomery county, New York. Later in life he was, for many years, Deputy Collector of United States Customs in the city of New York. SIMEON HOWARD, born August 15, 1804, was educated at Harvard College, became a Christian minister, and joined a mission at Mount Lebanon, Syria. He was entrusted with translating the Bible into the native language, and subsequently established a native col- lege near Beirut, of which he is now- r$75-the President. JAMES, younger than John, was for thirty years an active business man in Cincinnati, O. There were two sisters, SUSAN, older, and MAR- THA, younger. The father, Andrew Calhoun, after spending the prime of his life as an extensive merchant in Boston, retired to a farm in Montgomery county, N. Y., where he lost his wife, returned to Boston, married again, and died April 14. IS42.

CALHOUN, JOHN, was born Oct. 14, 1SoS, in Boston, Mass., and in 1821 accompanied his father to the Mo- hawk Valley, in New York. After fin- ishing his studies at the Canajoharie Academy, he studied law at Fort Plain, both in Montgomery county. In 1830 he came to Springfield, Ill., and resumed the study of law, sustaining himself by teach- ing a select school. He took part in the Black Hawk war of 1831-2, and after its close, was appointed by the Governor of the State, Surveyor of Sangamon county. He induced Abraham Lincoln to study surveying, in order to become his deputy. From that time the chain of freindship be- tween them continued bright to the end of their lives, although they were ardent

partizans of different sehools in politics. John Calhoun was married Dec. 29, IS31, in Sangamon eounty, to Sarah Cutter. See Cutter sketch. They had nine child- ren in Sangamon county, and in 1854 Mr. Calhoun was appointed by President Pieree, Surveyor-General for Kansas and Nebraska, and he moved his family to Kansas. Of all their children-

ANDREW, born June 11, 1835, in Sangamon county, was killed Jan., 1860, by the explosion of a steam saw mill in Leavenworth county, Kansas.

ELIZABETH, born March IS, 1835, in Sangamon county, was married March 1, 1870, in the Catholic church at Leaven- worth, Kan., to Henry Jackson, a native of England. He is a Lieutenant in the 7th Reg. U. S. Cav., and is now-1876- on detached duty in the signal service at Washington, D. C.

SETH Y. was born March 4, 1839, in Springfield, Ill. He went with his father to Kansas in 1854, and when the rebellion commenced he enlisted in Battery H, Ist Mo. Art., It had been an infantry regiment under Col. Frank P. Blair, and after the battle of Wilson creek, changed to artillery. It was under Gen. Grant from the siege of Fort Donelson to the evacuation of Corinth, and under Sher- man in his "mareh to the sea." Seth J. Calhoun was wounded July 22, 1864, in the battle of Atlanta, Ga., and soon after promoted to second Lieut. of his Battery. He served one full term, re-enlisted as a veteran, served to the end of the rebellion and was honorably discharged. He now- 1875-lives in Leavenworth, Kan.

John Calhoun died Oct. 25, 1859, at St. Joseph, Mo. His widow and unmarried

children now-1876-reside in Leaven- worth, Kansas.

Hon. John Calhoun deserves more than a passing notice. He entered the political field in 1835, being the Democratic eandi- date that year for the State Senate of Illi- nois, but there being a large Whig major- ity in the county, he was defeated by Archer G. Herndon. In 1838 he was elected to represent Sangamon county in the State Legislature. In IS41 he, with John Duff, completed the railroad from Jacksonville to Springfield, being the first to reach the State Capital. In IS42 he was appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court of Sangamon county by Judge Treat. In 1844 he was one of the Presidential Electors of Illinois for President Polk. In 1849-'50-'51, he was successively elected Mayor of Springfield. In 1852 he was one of the Presidential Electors of Illinois for President Pierce, and was selected by his colleagues to carry the vote to Wash- ington City. In 1854 he was appointed, by President Pierce, Surveyor General of Kansas and Nebraska, and moved his family to Kansas.

Here he entered a political field with new and exciting sectional elements. He was elected a delegate to the convention that framed what has passed into history as the Lecompton Constitution. He he- came the President of that body, which was composed of unscrupulous pro-slavery adventurers, with a small number of con- servative members, among whom was the President. That odious instrument would have been adopted by the convention with- out submitting it to a vote of the people, had it not been for the determined opposi- tion of President Calhoun, who threatened to resign, and opposed it by every method in his power, unless it was submitted; and when it came to the polls he voted against adopting the pro-slavery clause. That instrument provided that the President of the Convention should count the vote and report the result.

Soon after this duty was discharged he started for Washington City, leaving all the returns and papers relating to the elec- tion with one L. A. MeLanc, Chief Clerk of the Surveyor General's office. . He has been described as " A brilliant clerk, but vain, vacillating, and ambitious of doing smart things, and economical of the truth generally." The instructions given to

him by Gen. Calhoun before starting east, was to afford every facility to any body of respectable men to examine the returns, as evidences of dissatisfaction were already apparent, and the conviction soon became general that a stupendous fraud had been committed against the ballot. Soon the excitement became intense, endangering the lives of some of the conspicuous actors, and McLane became alarmed. Gen. Thomas L. Ewing, Jun., and Judge Smith called upon him, with a letter from Mr. Calhoun, instructing the clerk to let those gentlemen examine the returns. Mr. McLane falsely stated to Messrs. Ewing and Smith that the returns were not in his possession; that Gen. Calhoun had taken them with him when he left for Washington. A few evenings later, Mc- Lane attended a ball at Lawrence, where he was plied with good cheer, attentions and flattery, so grateful to his appetite and vanity, and after becoming mellow by the occasion, a Lawrence belle, acting the part of Deliah, drew from him the secret of the coveted papers. The next day he was called upon by a committee of the territorial legislature, who demanded the returns, when he again denied having them in his possession. He was then summoned before a committee of the leg- islature, and there stated under oath that Gen. Calhoun had taken the returns with him. The cross-questions revealed to him the fact that the Lawrence belle had be- trayed him. Realizing his position, he returned that night to Lecompton, and with a few cronies, put the returns in a candle box, and buried it under a wood pile. A porter in the Surveyor-General's office, by the name of Charles Torrey, who had for a long time acted as a spy for the enemies of Gen. Calhoun, watched the operation, and gave the information. A company of men from Lawrence soon after unearthed the box, and bore away the prize.

The exposure of McLane's villainy was now complete, and he precepitately fled the Territory, with a mob in close pursuit. Thus the odium of the dastardly acts of this man were unjustly visited upon Gen. Calhoun. Unqualified abuse and misrepresentations were heaped upon him, and spread broadcast over the country by the press. That broke down his spirits, and he soon after left the Territory, went

to St. Joseph, Mo., and died there. He deserved a better fate. He was a man of genial, hopeful, generous temperament; ever ready to serve or defend a friend, but rarely defending himself, except on the spur of the moment; of great ability, and for a time was the best political orator in the State of Illinois. He was brilliant, but deficient in practical application. President Lincoln has been heard to say that John Calhoun was the strongest man he had ever met on the stump; that he could manage Douglas, but that Calhoun always gave him his hands full.

CALLERMAN, DANIEL K., was born Dec. 10, 1806, in Fleming county, Ky. He came to Sangamon county, Ill., in company with his widowed mother, arriving Nov. 14, 1828, at Spring- field.

Mrs. C. died June 9, 1873, and he was married March 15, 1876, to Nellie Elder, of Sangamon county, a daughter of Dr. A. W. Elder, an early settler of Morgan county. E. H. Callerman lives in Williamsville.
