William BUTRAM13,404 was born about 1735 in Baltimore Co., Maryland. He lived in Pittsylvania Co., VA in 1743. He lived in Rowan County, NC about 1750. He lived in Rich Fork Abbotts Cr. Rowan Co NC in 1783. He appeared in the census in 1790 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. He lived in Davidson Co (Out Of Orig Rowan Co) in 1793. He lived in Iredell County, NC in 1793. He lived in Hankins Br, S. Yadkin River, NC in 1795. He lived in Hankins Br, S. Yadkin River, NC in 1800. He lived in Hankins Br, S. Yadkin River, NC in 1801. He died after 1801 in Iredell Co., NC?. He died in 1806 in Lee County, VA. He lived in Rowan County, NC. He was also known as I William BUTTRAM I. A generous amount of information on this man, known as William I in this book, is found in the BUTTRAM FAMILY ASSOCIATION genealogy, published 1998 Library of Congress card 98-072518. It is believed he was born about 1735 and that his father was William Butteram (known as Will iam the Elder). The exact date that William I and Margaret Buttram arrived in Rowan County, NC is unknown, but records document him as being there by at least the 1750s. By 1793 he had moved to Iredell County, NC William Buttram Jr. had been born by 1759 and Wi lliam I was now using the title William, Sr. There may have been as many as 13 children by William Sr and his wife Margaret.
A note in Jack Ferguson's well known book, EARLY TIMES IN CLINTON COUNTY(KY), VOL. I, states: "An article on Davis STOCKTON - Elizabeth BERTRAMin the Illinois State Genealogical Society Quarterly Vol. XIV, no. 3,Fall, 1982, identified him as the son of Peter Hargard STOCKTON. He wasborn in Clinton county. He married around 1827, Elizabeth BERTRAM,daughter of ANDREW BERTRAM, a Revolutionary War soldier who settled inthe present Wayne county. She was born in May, 1806 in North Carolina.During the Revolution the BERTRAM family lived a short distance fromwhere the battle of Cowpens* was fought, so that the firing could beheard easily while the battle was in progress.
* Battle of Cowpens - At the Cowpens, a frontier pastureland, on January17, 1781, Daniel Morgan led his army of tough Continentals and backwoodsmilitia to a brilliant victory over Banastre Tarleton’s battle-hardenedforce of British regulars. Located in present-day Cherokee County, SouthCarolina north east of Spartanburg. The Cowpens National Battlefield Siteis just south and east of the town of Cliffside, in present dayRutherford Co., North Carolina and just south of present day ClevelandCo., North Carolina. As near as I can figure out from consulting the mapsavailable to me it is likely Elizabeth BUTTRAM'S family was living eitherin that portion of South Carolina where the Battle of Cowpens was fought,or over the North Carolina State Line, probably in what was then Rutherford Co., North Carolina. Until now it has been assumed they livedin Rowan or Iredell Counties in North Carolina about 1781. This was nineyears before William BUTTRAM, I, and Margaret were on the 1790 Census inRowan Co., North Carolina! However, it is believed that William andMargaret were in Rowan Co., North Carolina by January 28, 1776 when their oldest child, Elizabeth, married William PERLY there on Abbots Creek.
There was only one BUTTRAM household in Rowan Co., North Carolina in1790. I believe it was that of William, I, and Margaret because their son, William BUTTRAM, II, had already moved to Iredell Co., NorthCarolina. Since only the head of the household was named and the age categories were very broad it is impossible to tell for certain who the other ten persons were who lived in that household. It may have been just William BUTTRAM, I, Margaret, and their children but it is possible it contained two married couples, the younger being a married son or daughter and their children.

6 free white females = Margaret, and 5 more
William BUTTRAM, I, also relocated to Iredell Co., North Carolina by April 6, 1793 if he was the one referred to as William BUTRUM, Sr. in thefollowing deed. William BUTTRAM, II, of course, was there, but his son,William BUTTRAM/BERTRAM, III, was only 7 years old by 1793. However, the terms Sr. and Jr. did not necessarily refer to father and son in those days. The "Widow PARLEE" is believed to have been the same as Elizabeth BUTTRAM PERLEE, daughter of Margaret and William BUTTRAM, I.

When THE BUTTRAM FAMILY ASSOCIATION out of Haleyville, Winston Co.,Alabama gave the designations I, II, and III, to three successive generations of men named William BUTTRAM/BUTRAM it was not yet known that there had been earlier men of this line named William BUTTRAMand none of the earlier geneations had yet been identified. These designations are so ingrained into genealogy research today that it is prudent to continue consistent with this method of identifying these three generations to prevent total confusion and chaos. It is to benoted, however, that these men did not use these Roman Numerals inreferring to themselves.
According to "Topeka Jack" BURTRAM, in an article that appeared in the publication, BUTTRAM KITH & KIN, Vol. 2, No. 1, Spring 1985, this William(I)
accompanied his father, also named William, to Pittsylvania County,
VA in 1739. The young William (I) was then about four years old. He and
his father are believed to have come from Pennsylvania.
"This younger William BUTTRAM (I) grew up by the Bannister and SmithRivers, where he met and married Margaret. She, too, might have been from Pennsylvania. At any rate, William (I) and Margaret were married and in Rowan Co. , NC before 1759. They bought a farm on Rich'sFork of Abbot's Creek, about 2 miles northeast of Salisbury. They lived there many years, and raised their family there. They might have had as many as 14 children, some of which we have no trace. We do know something of 9 of these children and the descendants of some of them."
In the 1985 article Jack named the nine known children as William (II -1759-1853), Margaret (1760-1787), Nicholas (1763-????), John (1765-1848),Andrew (1768-after 1800), Cornelius (1773-after 1810), Jacob(1775-1855), Levi (1777-after 1803), and James (????-????).
More recent research in 2001 tends to indicate that at least three of the grown children of Margaret and William BUTTRAM, I, were in Wilkes Co.,North
Carolina from about 1793 to about 1806. The grown children were sons,John, Andrew, and Cornelius. (However, John and Andrew were on the 1800 Iredell Co., North Carolina Census, so probably traveled back and forth between the adjacent counties.) A granddaughter of William, I, and Margaret by the name of Rachel PARLIER/PERLY was there also. The evidenceis this:
1.) John BUTTRAM, son of William BUTTRAM, I, witnessed the marriage of
his brother, Andrew BUTTRAM, to Tobias KEETON there in 1798.
2.) Rachel PARLIER/PERLY, daughter of Elizabeth (BOUTTERAM/BUTTRAM)
and William PERLY, married William GRISBY there in 1799.
3.) Another William BUTTRAM married Rachel KIDWELL there in 1802. (I
believe this was the same William BUTTRAM that married Clara "Clercy"
LANE in BARREN Co., KY a few years later.)
5.) Cornelius BUTTRAM "late of Wilkes Co., NC" sold land there in
1806.
Wilkes Co., North Carolina bounded Iredell Co., N.C., which in turnbounded Rowan Co., N.C., so there were not great distances between.

Notes for WILLIAM BUTTRAM:
[William Buttram I .FTW] Zimmerman WorldConnect
It is believed that WILLIAM was born about 1735. No document has been found which proves the names of his parents , but it is thought that hemay be the son of an elder William Butteram (born 1706) who, when he was eight years old and with the consent of his father, John Butteram, bonded him self to Daniel Scott, the younger, in 1714 in Baltimore County,Maryland. This occurred one month after the death of John Butteram's wife, Elizabeth Westbury.
John remarried Jane Mayer that same year, and was in Cecil County ,Maryland by 1727. William remained with the Scott family in BaltimoreCounty, Maryland and moved with them to Pittsylvania County, Virginia by1743. The exact date that William and Margaret Buttram arrived in RowanCounty, North Carolina is not known, but records document him as being there by at least the 1750's. A deed from Lord Granville to Joseph Tateon Jacobs Creek of the Daniel River "including Butrums's Camp," was written 17 December 1761. Until his death in 1763, Lord Granville, who lived in England, owned all of Rowan County, except for a small portion which was owned by Henry McCullough . The people who settled on vacantland own by Lord Granville, paid him rent which was collected byGranville's agents.
The 1778 Rowan County tax list shows William Buttram as owning land valued at 169 pounds. No record has been found showing how he obtained or disposed of this land. On 12 February 1780, William was replaced by JacobBrumel as overseer of roads for a part of Rowan County. Civil service such as this is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR) as patriotic service during the Revolutionary War. Descendants ofWilliam who can document their lineage are eligible to become members ofthe DAR or the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) by virtue of his civil service, which is recorded in the Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Rowan County, North Carolina. In 1783, William purchased 200 acres of land "including his own improvement", on RichFork of Abbott's Creek of Rowan County. This means that William had already lived on this land long enough to clear and improve it. This landon Abbott's Creek lies in what became Davidson County, Norh Carolina, in1822.
In 1790, William sold 4 1/2 acres of this land to Christopher Attinger,and in 1791 he and his wife , Margaret, sold the remaining 195 1/2 acres to John Hiatt. By 1793, William and much of his family had moved to Iredell County, North Carolina. Deed book B, pages 47-49 show that Peter Keeton sold 140 acres to John Lund. This land adjoined the domiciles of,among others, "William Buttram, Sr. ". William began using "Sr." afterhis name about this time, because his son William Buttram, Jr., born 1759, who became 21 years of age in 1800, was beginning to enter into land transactions. Several other Iredell County deeds are recorded for membersof the Buttram family, but one indicates that William Buttram, Sr.,bought 200 acres from James Patterson on the north side of Hankin'sBranch of the South Yadkin River in 179 5. He sold 50 acres of this land to William Blankenship in 1800, and the remaining 150 acres to Joseph Rayin 1801. William's date of death is not known, and a record of his will has not been found. It is presumed that his wife , Margaret, listed inthe 1791 Rowan County deed, was the mother of his children, which mightnumber as many as 13.
Children of WILLIAM BUTTRAM and MARGARET are:
i. ELIZABETH7 BUTTRAM, b. 1757.

xi. NICHOLAS BUTTRAM, b. 1780 Parents: William BUTTRAM.
Spouse: Living. William
BUTRAM and Margaret were married in 1775 in Lancaster, CO., VA. I
have come to the conclusion that John Butterum who came to this country with
William Reynolds in 1637 is the man we are looking for. On August 15, 1637 William
Reynolds was granted 200 acres of land in the transportation of four persons;
Morris Jones, Richard Pew, John Butterum and Ann Banks in Charles River County
VA which became York County in 1642.
I have no further trace of this John Butterum that came with Reynolds, but a
Nicholas Butterum showed up in Calvert Co. MD by Jan. 23,1671. He was prominent
in Calvert Co for the next 15 years, until he died in 1686, leaving a widow an
unknown number of children. I believe this Nicholas Butterum was a son of John
Butterum who had come to this country with William Reynolds in 1637 because he
was in the right place, at the right time, and with the right name.
There were may traces of Butterum/Buttram families in the area between 1637 and
1730. During the eighty or so years that Buttrams were in Eastern MD, they moved
from Calvert Co. In the south to Cecil Co. On the Penn. Border , next to Lancaster
Co. This could be important because if have been told the William Buttram who
went to Pittsylvania, Co BA in 1739 came form Pennsylvania.
The name Butterum was changing to Buttram and other variations during the time
these people were in MD. Nicholas Butterum was known as Nicholas Buttram in some
of the later records in MD. Butterum was being used less, and Buttram more and
more during the time these people were in MD. Nicholas Butterum had a son William
who made a Will in 1692 in Charles Co. MD. This William Buttram died before Aug.
14, 1713. I believe this William was the father of John Buttram who was a prominent
in the years between 1714 and 1727.
Now we come to John Buttram who is listed in 12 transactions in Eastern MD between
1701 and 1727. Johns name was spelled Butterum 4 times, Buttram once, Buttrum
Twice and Burtram five times in the those 12 transactions. John Buttram first
married Elizabeth Westbury and they had at least one child, William Buttram,
born in 1706. Elizabeth died in on May 7th, 1714. In June of 1714, William Buttram
, aged 8, was bound to Daniel Scott the Younger, and his wife Elizabeth , with
the consent of his father , John. John Buttram then married Jane Mayer and the
records indicate that they were in Cecil Co. MD by 1715. I believe that John
lived in that area the remainder of his life.
In 1739 William Buttram entered for 400 acres on the Bannister River, beginning
at the Great Low Grounds. In 1743 he made several entries on the Smith River,
and Buttram Town Creek as its known today, was not doubt named for his settlement
there. I think that William served his bondage to Daniel Scott and probably followed
his father to Cecil Co. And was married there or in Pennsylvania. When new lands
opened in VA, I think he went down there with his young family There is a record
of William Buttram entering additional Land in Brunswick Co. south of the Bannister
River , as late as 1747.
I think William Buttram had a son William Buttram I who was the son of the man
that entered land on the Bannister River. William I married Margaret, and was
in Towan Co. NC by 1759 when their first child was born. He might have had up
to 14 children. Some of their childrens names were William, Margaret, Nicholas,
John, Andrew, Cornelius, Jacob, Levi, and James. Margaret might have been from
Pennsylvania. William Buttram seattled on Rich's fork of Abbotts Creek, in Rowan
Co. NC and paid taxes on this land in 1784. He may have stayed their as long
as he lived. Children were: Elizabeth BOUTTERAM,
William BUTRAM, Margaret BUTTRAM, Nicholas
L. BUTTRAM, John BERTRAM, Andrew BERTRAM, James BUTTRAM,
Cornelius BERTRAM, Jacob BUTTRAM, Levi BUTTRAM,
Seedy BUTTRAM.
