A recent compiler of the BUTLER genealogy of our particular branch of the Butler family in New England has said that "all of the name of Butler who came to this country during the first century of its existence can be traced to a common ancestry in Ireland." In bearing out this view, Johnstone has furnished in his various narratives the succession of conquests and of conquerors from Rolf, or Rollo, to the dukes of Normandy and the ultimate victory of William the Conqueror, 1066, and after him to the time of Theobald, son of Harvey Walter, who was received into the royal fav- or and taken by his monarch with the title of "Chief Butler" into Ireland, where by the bounty of his sovereign and his own valor he became eminent and acquired great posses- sions.
According to Burke's "Peerage and Baron- etage," the history of the illustrious house of Butler, of Ormonde is in point of fact the history of Ireland from the time of the An- glo-Norman invasion; and from the same authority it is learned that the surname Butler is derived from the "chief butlerage of Ire- land, conferred by Henry II, upon the first of the family who settled in that kingdom." Theobald Fitz Walter (Theobald, son of Wal- ter), who accompanied Henry II into Ireland, and was created Chief Butler, 1177, became

possessed of the baronies of Upper Ormonde, Lower Ormonde, and numerous other pos- sessions.
Other antiquarians have held that the sur- name Butler is derived from Robert, sup- posed to have been butler to William the Conqueror, and who in Domesday Book is called "Robertus Pincerua." This Robertus, with two others of the same name, called Hugo Pincerua and Richard Pincerua, held each of them, from the king, several towns in England.
Such then is the ancient lineage of the But- ler families who have been seated in New England more than two centuries, and while chroniclers have traced the ancestry in Eng- land and Ireland, they have taken little ac- count of the Scotch branches of the Butlers, who were families of distinction in that coun- try for several centuries and finally were driv- en out because of their Presbyterian belief, and became seated in the north of Ireland. The particular branch of the family proposed to be treated in these annals is of distinctively Scotch ancestry and origin, and displays as its arms an uncovered cup or (gold), with the motto "sapienter uti bonis" wisely to en- joy blessings.
Large companies of emigrants from Scot- land and England settled in the north of Ire- land as early as 1612, and accessions were made to their number in later years, but it was not until a century afterward that the descendants of these emigrants began to cross the Atlantic ocean and settle in the American colonies of New England , and New York, largely in New Hampshire, and to a less ex -- tent in Massachusetts and Connecticut. They were called Irish and Scotch-Irish, but they were not such in fact; that name applied ex- clusively to the Celts and to those families who in the course of generations had adopted Celtic manners. Of the Celts at the begin- ning of the eighteenth century there were perhaps a little less than a million, who with few exceptions adhered steadfastly to the teachings of the Church of Rome; and among them dwelt about two hundred thousand Scotch and English colonists, proud of their Saxon blood and their protestant faith.
Whether it was on account of the same causes that induced the emigration of other Scotch and English colonists to New Eng- land during the first quarter of the eighteenth century, or by reason of other impelling in- fluences, is now difficult to determine, but about the year 1720 there came to America, Malachi Butler and Jemima Daggett. If they
were then married the fact does not appear, and insomuch as their eldest child was not born until 1729, it may be assumed that their marriage did not take place until after they settled in the Connecticut colony. They set- tled first in Windham, remained there until about 1753, and then located in Woodbury, where, according to the history of that town, others of their name and kin were living.
Cothren, in his "History of Ancient Wood- bury," has this to say of the several Butler families in that town: "Richard Butler was among the earliest Stratford settlers, and had two daughters: Phebe, married Benjamin Peet; and Mary, married John Washborn, of Hempstead, Long Island, in 1665, and after- wards Thomas Hicks, and thus became an- cestress of Elias Hicks, founder of the Hick- site sect. There was in Stratford a Dr. John Butler, from 1684 until his death in 1695. He was a grantee of lands in Woodbury before 1697. He was probably a son of Dr. John Butler, of Boston, afterward of Branford, Connecticut, where he died in 1680. John senior had sons, John, Richard, Jonathan and Jonas. There was a Deacon Butler in Hart- ford who died in 1684, and had sons Thomas, Samuel, Nathaniel, Joseph and Daniel. Their descendants are numerous. Zebulon Butler and John Butler, who figured in the troubles in Wyoming valley (Pennsylvania) were of this race. Benjamin F. Butler, late attorney general of New York, was also of this lineage. Captain Zephaniah Butler was in the cam- paign of General Wolfe at Quebec, marching with other brave soldiers from Woodbury. His son, John Butler, father of General Ben- jamin F. Butler, now member of Congress (1872), was a captain in the war of 1812, and General Butler has his commission, signed by Madison, as well as the powder horn of his grandfather, who fought under Wolfe, marked 'Zephaniah Butler, his horn, Wood- bury, (Connecticut) ye 27, 1758'. This Zep- haniah and his brother Benjamin moved to Nottingham, New Hampshire, and settled there."
Zephaniah Butler was the fourth son and child of Malachi and Jemima (Daggett) But- ler, of whom mention is made in a pre- ceding paragraph. Their other children were Benjamin, Silas, Solomon, Thankful, Susan- nah, Margery, Lydia and Mary. Benjamin, the eldest son, will be mentioned at length in a later paragraph. Silas and Solomon re- moved to New York, where Silas married, lived and died, leaving a family. Solomon settled in Solas and lived and died there,

leaving several children. Of the daughters of Malachi and Jemima little is known.
Zephaniah Butler, son of Malachi and Jem- ima (Daggett) Butler, removed to Notting- ham, New Hampshire, about 1756, and was known there as "the schoolmaster," a man of education and influence. He married Abigail Cilley, daughter of Captain Joseph Cilley and Alice Rawlins, and their youngest son, John Butler, was father of the late General Benja- min F. Butler, candidate for the office of president of the United States on the "Green- back" ticket in 1880.
Rev. Benjamin Butler, eldest son of Mala- chi and Jemima (Daggett) Butler, was born in Windham, Connecticut, April 9, 1729, and died in Nottingham, New Hampshire, De- cember 26, 1804. He received a classical ed- ucation at Harvard College, where he gradu- ated in 1752, and made his theology studies at Andover, Massachusetts, where he met and married Dorcas Abbot. After marrying he continued his theology course until the spring of 1754, and then went to Nottingham, set- tling first at Nottingham Square. Soon af- terward he purchased the proprietor's lot formerly set off to Governor Wentworth, and lived there during the remainder of his life. In the early part of 1757 Mr. Butler became settled pastor of the church in Nottingham,
receiving about the same time a settlement of two thousand pounds, old tenor, and a salary of thirty-five pounds sterling. His church there was organized in 1742, its first pastor being Rev. Stephen Emery, a graduate of Harvard College in 1730. Mr. Butler was pastor of the church until August 1, 1770, when he resigned and afterward devoted his attention to literary pursuits and agriculture, and also for a time performed the duties of magistrate, to "try small causes." "He was a man," says one of his biographers, "of thor- ough education, of an active yet disciplined na- ture," and he used every effort of his life to educate in morality and intelligence his peo- ple and his associates. He is spoken of as a "christian of perfect sincerity and earnest work, whose moral influence was realized to his church and town."
On May 7, 1753, Rev. Benjamin Butler married Dorcas Abbot, who was born May 28, 1729, and died in April, 1790, daughter of Lieutenant Henry and Mary Platts Abbot, (see Abbot). Their children. I. Henry, born April 27, 1754, died July 20, 1813; mar- ried April II, 1776, Isabella Fisk, born Au- gust 2, 1757, died January 17, 1808; see for- ward. 2. Benjamin, born February 23, 1757,
died April 30, 1757. 3. Benjamin, born June 14, 1758, died August 29, 1759. 4. Mary, born March 30, 1760, died August, 1846; married Abraham Brown, of Epping, New Hampshire, and settled in Northfield, New Hampshire, where both died, leaving several children. 5. Elizabeth, born August 30, 1762, died October 3, 1762. 6. Dorcas (triplet), born October 9, 1766, died October 22, 1857; married Jonathan Cilley, born March 3, 1752; removed to Ohio. Children: Joseph, Benja- min, Sally, Henry, Jonathan, Bradbury and Mary Cilley. 7. Jemima (triplet), born Octo- ber 9, 1766, died October 19, 1766. 8. James Platts (triplet), born October 9, 1766, died Oc- tober 19, 1766.
Henry Butler, eldest son and child of Rev. Benjamin and Dorcas (Abbot) Butler, was born in Andover, Massachusetts, April 27, 1754, and died in Nottingham Square, New Hampshire, July 20, 1813. At the beginning of the revolutionary war he had just attained his majority, but he entered the service and was commissioned captain of a company of New Hampshire men which was sent to West Point, on the Hudson river, in New York. After the close of the war he was commis- sioned major-general of New Hampshire mi- litia, a position he held many years, succeed- ing General Thomas Bartlett, whose imme- diate predecessor was General Joseph Cilley These were notable characters in early Not- tingham and New Hampshire history, and all of them lived and died, on Nottingham Square, each being in office at the time of his death.
General Butler was the first postmaster of Nottingham, receiving his appointment while Gideon Granger was postmaster general. He was as well known and as highly respected as any man in the state. He was one of the leading Free-masons in New Hampshire, for many years master of Sullivan Lodge, the meetings of which were held in his house af- ter 1798. During his life he held many im- portant offices of a civil character, and his in- tegrity never was questioned, whether in an official capacity or as a private citizen in the daily walks of life.
His wife, whom he married April 11, 1776, was Isabella Fisk, who was born August 2, 1757, and died January 17, 1808. She was a daughter of Dr. Ebenezer Fisk, of Epping, New Hampshire, and granddaughter of Rev. Ward Cotton, the first settled minister in Hampton, New Hampshire. The wife of Rev. Ward Cotton was Joanna Rand, of Boston, Massachusetts, and after the death of her first

some brief reference to her ancestors is appro- priate in this place.
The American ancestor of the Herseys of Sanbornton, and perhaps of New England as well, was William Hersey of Hingham, Mas- sachusetts, 1635, who was made freeman in 1638, and became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery in 1652. On the parish and town records in the localities where the earlier generations of the family lived, the name Hersey is found written Her- sie, Harsie, Hearsey, and also as Hershey. The name is one of great antiquity, and doubtless of French origin, as it is found in the list of noblemen and gentlemen who went over with William the Conqueror into Eng- land in 1066. In Hingham it is still one of the more numerous of the surnames of the early settlers. At the time of the trouble about the election of officers of the train band in Hingham, 1644-5, William Hersey was as- sessed a heavy fine for supporting the views of Rev. Peter Hobart, and the family rate toward the erection of the new meeting- house was the largest but one on the list. William Hersey is believed to have been born in England, but the place and date of his birth have not been determined. The baptismal name of his wife was Elizabeth. He died March 22, 1657-8, and Elizabeth died Octo- ber 8, 1671. Their children were William, Frances, Elizabeth, Judith, John and James. Of the daughters, Elizabeth married Moses Gilman, of Exeter, New Hampshire, and Ju- dith married Humphrey Wilson, of Exeter. The removal of these daughters with their husbands to New Hampshire was followed by that of at least one of the sons or grandsons of the ancestor, but just which one of them is not easily determined by existing records, and we only know that James Hersey, proba- bly a grandson of the first William, lived in Sanbornton, near Jemima Burley and by her had ten children. James Hersey, son of James and Jemima, was born in Sanbornton, about 1746, and was a surveyor, in which capacity he was employed by the last provincial governor, John Wentworth, to run a line from Ports- mouth to Quebec, and also to survey several townships. He was a man of influence, and held close relations with Wentworth. He married Elizabeth Hayes, and died May 14, 1817. His wife died December 26, 1829. They had ten children, the fifth of whom in order of birth was Nancy, the second wife of Henry Butler, Jr., and by whom he had one daughter and seven sons.
By both marriages Henry Butler, junior,
had fourteen children : I. Isabella Fisk; married (first), William C. Kelly, of North- wood, (second) Bryce Hight, of Newport, Maine. 2. Elizabeth Norris, married Joseph Ireland, of St. Albans, Maine. 3. Mehitable Ford, died young. 4. Sarah Ann, married Cyrus Bartlett, of Harmony, Maine. 5. Abi- gail Ford, married William Folsom, of Strat- ford. 6. Harriet, died young. 7. Mary Frances, born February 16, 1819; married May 25, 1843, Thomas P. Emerson, of Lafay- ette, Indiana. 8. Henry Abbot, born July 22, 1820, married September 23, 1847, Sarah C. Cram, of Bangor, Maine. 9. Calvin Luther, born November 6, 1821, died in New York city, October 19, 1847. 10. Harrison Hersey, born October 30, 1823; died young. II. Ja- cob Tilton, born January 15, 1826; see for- ward. 12. James Harrison, born May 24, 1830; married June 22, 1852, Frances M. Crosby, of Hampden, Maine. 13. A son, born February 16, 1833, died unnamed. 14. A son, born December 4, 1834, died unnamed.
Jacob Tilton Butler, son of Henry Butler Jr. and Nancy Hersey, his second wife, was born in Nottingham, New Hampshire, Janu- ary 15, 1826, and died in Somerville, Massa- chusetts, June 6, 1892. He was given a good early education in the common schools, and after leaving school he became a machinist, and for many years was in the engineering department of the Charlestown (Boston) navy yard, in the service of the federal gov- ernment; and. after leaving. that employ he carried on a general furniture business fifteen years in Somerville, Massachusetts, where the later part of his life was spent. For many years Mr. Butler was a consistent member of the Winter Hill Baptist Church, a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and in politics was a Republican. He married June 6, 1850, Hannah M. Young, of Dover, New Hampshire, who was born there Febru- ary 9, 1826, and died in Somerville, Massa- chusetts, May 27, 1905. They had three chil- dren: I. Eva F., born July, 1853; married George C. Hallett, of Somerville, and had two children, May and Isabel. 2. James H., born November 7, 1856; married December 28, 1876, Mary E.
