BUTTERS The Butters family is of Scotch origin and the ancient seat of the family was Perth- shire. We find the name Buter and Butor in the Domesday Book of William the Conquer- or, in 1086. The name of Buttar appears fre- quently among the followers of Robert Bruce in the thirteenth century. The Scotch coat of arms is : Argent, a cross sable, between four men's hearts proper. Crest. On a wreath two arms issuant from clouds drawing a bow, with an arrow paleway, all ppr. The name in Scot- land was spelled Butter or Buttar, the "s" having been added by later generations.
Three immigrants of this name are found in early Massachusetts Records. John Butter is mentioned but once, as appraiser of an estate in 1655. Isaac Butter was on a list of freemen in 1666, resident of Medfield. Of these two nothing more appears on the records and noth- ing more is known. Tradition has it that they were brothers of the William Butter, mention- ed below, and that one of them was captured by Indians, escaped and returned to Scotland ; the other went away.
(I) William Butters (Butter) was born about 1630 in Scotland. Many Scotch prison- ers were sent to Massachusetts by Cromwell after his victories against the king, but no record appears to indicate when Butters came. He was in Woburn prior to 1666 when his name appears on the tax roll. After that his name appears regularly in the tax rolls. He was one of twenty men granted one hundred
acres of land February 23, 1675, by the town of Woburn. This tract was on the farther . side of Maple Meadow river. In February, 1678, he was one of forty-four men granted seven acres each in the same place.
The land records of Woburn in 1674 show that Butters then owned a dwelling house, barn and out-buildings with nineteen acres of land in the region known as Boggy Meadow Field, seven acres being formerly owned by Isaac Brooks; the other twelve purchased of Joseph Carter. He owned various other lots in the neighborhood amounting altogether to sixty-one acres.
He was a soldier in King Philip's war, en- listing August, 1676, in Captain Joseph Syll's company, and took part in one of the most im- portant fights, at Cocheco (Dover), Septem- ber 4, 1676. Major Richard Waldron, of Dover, planned a sham battle with the friendly Indians of the vicinity, and after the Indians had emptied their guns in good faith, they were seized by Captain Syll and his company. Three hundred Indians were taken to Boston where six were hanged on Boston Common; the remainder were sent to the Bermudas and sold as slaves! The Indians partly avenged the treachery of Major Waldron thirteen years later by capturing him by artifice and tortur- ing him to death. The facts of the case seem to justify any torture that the relatives of the In- dians could devise. Nothing more barbarous than the selling of friendly Indians taken by treachery can be found in history.
Butters married Mary He died at Woburn, November 13, 1692. She married (second) Stratton. They had one child, William, born 1665, mentioned below.
(II) William Butters, son of William But- ters (I), was born in that part of North Wo- burn called Boggy Meadow End. His name was first on the tax rolls in 1687, or rather his father paid taxes for two that year and there- after the son was a regular taxpayer. He was a town officer of Wilmington early, being a selectman in 1731. He was on the committee to arrange the settlement of Rev. Ward Cotton as minister of the new church at Wilmington, July 6, 1732. He added to his estate by pur- chase of H. Sommers land adjoining his farm June 9, 1716. He married, about 1687, Re- becca , who was admitted by letter into the church of Wilmington, March 16, 1734, five months after the church was organized, and he was baptized and admitted to the same church October 1, 1738.

the twenty-fifth year of her age. This verse is inscribed on her gravestone:
"Left to bemoan her earthly death, That she so soon resigned her breath, In bloom of life, then. she most die, In death's cold arms they now must lie."

(VII) Charles Butters, son of Joseph Butters (6), was born in Burlington, Decem- ber 1, 1819. He succeeded after the death of his father to the homestead and followed the occupation of farmer there all his active life. He was appointed administrator of the es- tate of his grandmother, Lydia (Carter) But- ters. The Baldwin apple originated on the old Butters homestead in Wilmington. It was first known as the Butters apple, then as the Pecker or woodpecker apple and finally, from Colonel Loammi Baldwin, who propa- gated many grafts from the Butters tree, it was known as the Baldwin, undoubtedly the most valuable apple known to horticulturists. There are many claimants to the discovery of this apple in the vicinity; many had grafts before Colonel Baldwin who deserves no es- pecial credit for discovering an apple that was well known before he ever saw the tree and the evidence seems conclusive that the "original tree was transplanted to its final lo- cation of the Butters farm by William But- ter. It was originally a seedling growing near the house of his son James.
Charles Butters married, September 3, 1843, Olive Susan Brown, born May 7, 1822, daughter of Samuel and Betsey (Tuttle) Brown, of Carlisle, Massachusetts, and granddaughter of Lieutenant Samuel Brown, of Concord.

ยท Isaac Anthoine came to Bos- ANTHOINE ton about 1715. He seems to have been of French ori- gin and as his son married an Armington from the Isle of Guernsey, it is a fair presumption that he was one of the French Huguenot refu- gees who left France and took refuge in the Isle of Guernsey before coming to America. The Anthanies, or Anthoines, as the name
544
MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
should be spelled, went to Marblehead with other French families which will be mentioned below. As a shipping port Marblehead seems to have been intimately connected with Boston at this particular period. He married Mercy Mercy, born November 4, 1715. 2. Nicholas, mentioned below. 3. Jane, married at Boston Their children appear to be: I. (intentions July 4, 1711) John Newton.

His son, Joseph Armington, Jr., removed to Rehoboth later. Nicholas Anthoine died about 1730, and his widow Rachel married (second) Philip Bisson (intention May 22), October 22, 1736. He was of a Marblehead family also, and undoubtedly of French Huguenot ancestry. The ingenious and illiterate took full advantage of this name, spelling it a dozen different ways-Besom, Bessom, Besum, Be- sune, Bezoon, Bezune, Besson, Bisson, the last probably the proper way. It should be said that the name of Nicholas was from the Arm- ingtons ; also Philip, from both Armingtons and Bessons. Philip Bisson, son of the above Philip Bisson, died at Marblehead in 1797, aged sixty-six, and Richard, presumably an- other son, died at Marblehead in 1812, aged eighty-four years.

He married (second) Re- bekah Le Gross or Le Grow, April 21, 1768, the daughter of Joseph and Rebekah LeGross. She was baptized at Marblehead, August 4, 1743. Anthoine or his son John was a soldier in the Revolution, a drummer in Captain Wil- liam Bacon's company, Colonel John Glover's regiment, in 1775.
