William Butram^14,367 was born about 1735 in Baltimore Co., Maryland. He lived in Pittsylvania Co., VA in 1743. He lived in Rowan County, NC about 1750. William 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. William 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. William lived in Hankins Br, S. Yadkin River, NC in 1801. He died after 1801 at the age of 66 in Iredell Co., NC?. He died in 1806 at the age of 71 in Lee County, VA. William 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.

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:

William Butram³⁶⁷ was born on 18 July 1759 in Salisbury, Rowan Co NC. He appeared in the census in 1790 in Iredell Co., NC. He appeared in the census in 1800 in Iredell Co., NC. [NEED TO DEFINE SENTENCE:Tax List] William appeared in the census in 1820 in Wayne Co., KY. He appeared in the census in 1830 in Wayne Co., KY. He appeared in the census in 1840 in White Co., TN. William appeared in the census in 1850 in White Co., TN. He died on 10 November 1853 at the age of 94 in White Co., Tennessee. He died in November 1853 at the age of 94 in White Co. Tennessee. William was buried in November 1853 in White Co Tennessee. William is buried on the Calfkiller River just south of Putnam County in White County. The cemetery is in an pasture that is grazed by cattle. He has a marker that was placed by the DAR. He served in the military in Revolutionary War soldier, VA line. He was also known as William BUTTRAM. William fought in a campaign against the Cherokee Indians. 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 light horse man against the British.

William BUTRAM, II was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He served as a Private a total of seven months. From his pension papers and census records we know he was born in Rowan County, North Carolina and continued living 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 Iredell Co., N.C., where he remained for nineteen years. Census records show him in Iredell Co. in 1790 and 1800.

He then moved to Lee Co., VA for about ten years. (An Andrew BUTRAM was there 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 forward 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)

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 on the 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 the marker 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 birth order) 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 Nicholas Jr. William, III c. 1783, married Nancy STINSON, my husband's direct line.

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 a daughter! 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 under 10, born 1790 to 1800. Of these we only have the name of Sarah, born about 1792. Also it shows three born 1784 to 1790, and one born 1774 to 1784. Based on these two census we believe there were several daughters we have never identified that were born in North Carolina. Since the early marriage records of Iredell Co., North Carolina were destroyed by an ignorant and over zealous public servant we may never know the names of 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:

Bertram of Sunnybrook, Kentucky who has acted as family historian and has preserved family bibles and church records)
Mrs. Willie Bertram Kennedy says, "Old Grandpa" pronounced 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 been musical ability 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
