EDMUND "E" BUTLER OF COLONIAL VIRGINIA

Generation No. 2

2. AARON² BUTLER (EDMUND "E"¹) (Source: As per info furnished by Doris Butler Lucas Aug. 1993, the "E" for a middle initial may have been a guess on her part.) was born June 1726 in Goochland County, Virginia or New Kent, Co/Hanover Co., Virginia? (Source: Aaron was on the tithing tax list for 1746 along with his father. He had to be 21 years old to be taxed.), and died 1777 in Cumberland County, Virginia/ Family farm. He married SUSANNA WILLIAMS (Source: Victor Williams believes that Susanna Williams was Aaron's wife. "Susanna" John & Edmund sold Aaron's property as "one part" in 1786. "A" Susanna Williams was still alive in 1780 when her father's will was probated. Her brother, Thomas Williams was mentioned with Aaron on list of tithables in 1746.) Bet. 1746 - 1750 in Cumberland County, Virginia?.

Notes for AARON BUTLER:
Aaron Butler, the eldest son, lived in Cumberland County (previously Goochland), on the property willed to him by his Father, Edmund "E" Butler in 1747 until Aaron's death. According to Victor Williams, Aaron's wife's name might have been Susannah Williams, possible sister of Matthias Williams, Sr., originally we thought she was the daughter of Matthias, this possibility is excluded upon receiving better birthdates for the children of Matthias. This matter still needs some serious research.

1746: Goochland County, Virginia, tithing tax list: Aaron Butler was listed with his father, Edmund Butler and also Thomas Williams and John Chearright. (Susanna Williams had a possible brother named Thomas).

1746: Tax lists Shows Aaron Butler next to Charles Lee, then Hendersons; not far from Edmund Butler next to Edward Mackgee (this is Dorothy Ward's Edward Magehee who is in her line of Magehees through Hester, Cooke, Wash, Lipscombe....Edward is not her ancestor but in the same line...from the Louisa, Va. families of the same names).

1746: (Don't know if this is the same as above. (Pam Hazeltt-Burleson)

There also were Cookes in this general area of SC who were connected to Hendersons (also there) of Louisa Co., Va. (DHW) In the Cumberland tax records showing Bond was the name Watson 1748...no first name, that's what I have (DHW)

There was also a William Cooke on the 1759 tithe list AFTER the other William Cooke was deceased. He had four tithes.
