He was a private with the North Carolina Militia in the Revolutionary War. It has been handed down that he was with Washington at Valley Forge. He volunteered as a lighthorse man against the British.

William BUTRAM, II was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He served as aPrivate a total of seven months. From his pension papers and censusrecords we know he was born in Rowan County, North Carolina and continuedliving there after marriage, and the birth of his first four children.

His house in Rowan Co. was destroyed by fire and he then moved to IredellCo., N.C., where he remained for nineteen years. Census records show himin Iredell Co. in 1790 and 1800.

He then moved to Lee Co., VA for about ten years. (An Andrew BUTRAM wasthere on the 1810 Federal Census and a William BUTTERN was on the 1810 Lee Co., VA Personal Property Tax List.)

1968 - The Sparta Chapter of the Daughters' of the American Revolutionplaced a Military Grave Marker on the grave of William BUTRAM, II. Theyear of death was incorrectly shown as 1848 instead of 1853.

In a book called KENTUCKY KIN OF WAYNE COUNTY, compiled by Lois KennedyRobbins in 1979, there is the following on the foreward page from the late Marshall Bertram, Associate Professor of History at Tennessee Tech.:Aug. 28, 1970; "...One of my ancestors, William Bertram is mentioned as being one of the Revolutionary soldiers who settled in Wayne County. That is true, but he did not stay in Kentucky, but moved to White County,Tennessee in 1847 (probable date) to live with one of his daughters. He died in November 1853 at the age of 94. He is buried in the Bradley Cemetery, near Sparta. Two years ago I assisted the local DAR chapter in erecting a stone, furnished by the federal government, to mark his grave."

"The Wayne County Bertrams are descended from his son, William Bertram, who is buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery at Sunnybrook."(Wayne Co., KY)

We don't know exactly when William moved to White Co., TN but it was earlier than Marshall's probable date of 1847. It was sometime between January 30, 1834, when he applied for a pension from Wayne Co., KY, and the time of the enumeration of the 1840 White Co., TN Census on which both he and his son, Willis, appeared. NOTE: Willis was on an 1833 TaxList in Wayne Co., KY, but none after that date. It is interesting that 1833 was the last year in which Silas KIDWELL appeared on a Wayne Co. Tax List as well, since he and a wife named Nancy were on the 1850 White Co.,TN Census two doors from William BUTRAM.

Marshall BERTRAM believed that Silas Kidwell's second wife was Nancy BUTRAM, a daughter of "White County William", although no marriage record has been found. New research tends to disprove this. Looking at my notes I believe Silas KIDWELL was a step-grandson to Sarah (PATTERSON) andWilliam BUTRAM, II, and that he married Nancy MARSH. It is this Nancy MARSH who has been mistaken as the daughter of Sarah and William BUTRAM. (Anna Bertram notes)

1840 White Co., TN Census; Page 43; BUTRAM, William; 00000000001-000101



1 male 80-90, 1 female 15-20 -and- 1 female 30-40

This was near his son, Willis. The female age 15-20, born between 1820 -1825 in William's household in 1840 was Mary Louisa, a daughter of Willis and the same as the oldest girl listed in Willis's household onthe 1830 Wayne Co., KY Census.

1850 White Co., TN Census; hh #1420: BUTRAN, William 95, m, NC; Katy 45,f, KY; Mary 26, f, KY

Marshall wrote to our daughter, Julie, Sept. 15, 1987: "He is buried in the Bradley Cemetery which is in a bend of the Calf Killer River about a half dozen miles above Sparta. This is a family cemetery and is locatedon southeast side of the river, which is across the river from State road 84, which is the road leading from Sparta to Monterey."

"Farther up the road toward Monterey and on the east side of the road isthe France Cemetery where the Civil War hero or villain, Champ FERGUSON, is buried." "


When the DAR ordered the grave marker they had not yet found the exactlocation of the grave and gave the death date erroneously as 1848, instead of 1853. The marker was placed on the grave about 1968, but theDAR did not keep a written record of where it was placed, and the members we contacted couldn't help us. I believe the original marker was in the possession of Marshall BERTRAM of Cookeville, TN a few years ago.Marshall has since died. Marshall's only child, Phillip, may have themarker now. (He is a physician in Cookeville, TN.)

In the quarterly, BUTTRAM KITH & KIN, Vol. 9, No. 4, Winter 1993, page 8,there are thirteen possible children named (not necessarily in birthorder) I don't agree with some of the names in the list:
John c. 1770 - 1780
Nicholas c. 1781 This would be the one I have labeled NicholasJr.
William, III c. 1783, married Nancy STINSON, my husband's directline.
Jacob c. 1785
Cornelious c. 1787
(John) Elijah c. 1789 The John part of this name has never beenproved.
James c. 1791, md. Elizabeth KATES 1811 in Georgia
Sarah c. 1792, md. James KEETH 1812 in Georgia
Andrew c. 1793
Willis c. 1800 Was in White Co., TN with his father.
Katy c. 1805 The youngest, and living in White Co., TN with herfather.
Lavinia I've never seen anything else on her and believe this is amistake.
"Emily" This one should be spelled EMSLEY, and was a son, not adaughter! Born c.1795

I have also seen Nancy, born c. 1807, listed by some researchers butbelieve this is incorrect and will explain why in the family history.

The 1790 Iredell Co., NC Census indicates there were two unknown females(of any age) in the household of William (and Sarah PATTERSON) BUTERAM,possibly unidentified daughters.

The 1800 Irdell Co., NC Census indicates there were three females under10, born 1790 to 1800. Of these we only have the name of Sarah, bornabout 1792. Also it shows three born 1784 to 1790, and one born 1774 to1784. Based on these two census we believe there were several daughterswe have never identified that were born in North Carolina. Since theearly marriage records of Iredell Co., North Carolina were destroyed byan ignorant and over zealous public servant we may never know the namesof these daughters.

His father, also named William, came to Wayne County between 1814 and 1816
William and Nancy joined the Bethel Baptist Church at Parmleysville, KY, near Mt Pisgah. The old church record reads:
"2nd Sat June 1812 Sister Nancy Buteram taken under watch care of the church."
"2nd Sat July 1812 the letter of Sister Nancy Buterams care called for and read and approved. Brother William Buteram received by experience."

William and Nancy had 12 children, as recorded in the family bible pub. 1836. (Info from Mrs. Bryer and Flora E. Bertram ofSunnybrook, Kentucky who has acted as family historian and has preservedold family bibles and church records)
Mrs. Willie Bertram Kennedy says, "Old Grandpa" pronunced the name"But-ter-um", & there were some who called them the "Uppity" Butterums.The family was a large one and they were active in the Baptist Church,many of them being Ministers. Most of them were Democrats, & some were active in Politics. Many were Masons. There seems always to have beenmusical abillity in the family.

Notes for WILLIAM BUTTRAM:
Conrad Caballero, from Topeka Jack Buttrams letters,www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/2304/bshare.html

I have come to the conclusion that John Butterum who came to this countrywith William Reynolds in 1637 is the man we are looking for. On August15, 1637 William Reynolds was granted 200 acres of land in thetransportation of four persons; Morris Jones, Richard Pew, John Butterumand Ann Banks in Charles River County, VA which became York County in1642.

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. Hewas prominent in Calvert County for the next 15 years, until he died in1686, leaving a widow and an unknown number of children. I believe thisNicholas Butterum was a son of John Butterum who had come to this countrywith William Reynolds in 1637 because he was in the right place, at theright time, and with the right name.

There were many traces of Butterum/Buttram families in the area between1637 and 1730. During the eighty or so years that Buttrams were inEastern MD, they moved from Calvert Co. in the south to Cecil Co. on thePenn. Border , next to Lancaster Co. This could be important because ifhave been told the William Buttram who went to Pittsylvania, Co BA in1739 came form Pennsylvania.

The name Butterum was changing to Buttram and other variations during thetime these people were in MD. Nicholas Butterum was known as NicholasButtram 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 CharlesCo. MD. This William Buttram died before Aug. 14,1713. I believe thisWilliam was the father of John Buttram who was a prominent in the yearsbetween 1714 and 1727.

Now we come to John Buttram who is listed in 12 transactions in EasternMD between 1701 and 1727. Johns name was spelled Butterum 4 times,Buttram once, Buttrum Twice and Burtram five times in the those 12transactions. John Buttram first married Elizabeth Westbury and they hadat least one child, William Buttram, born in 1706. Elizabeth died on May7th, 1714. In June of 1714, William Buttram , aged 8, was bound to DanielScott the Younger, and his wife Elizabeth, with the consent of hisfather, John. John Buttram then married Jane Mayer and the recordsindicate that they were in Cecil Co., MD by 1715. I believe that Johnlived in that area the remainder of his life
