CommentsSeeking info on the Brooke Butson connection. Jane was born 10 Apr 1597, Shillingford, Devon England.
CommentsGrandson of Mary and Bolish Gurtowsky. Mary died in 1961. I was only 1 at the time. All I really know is that her family came from the thumb area of Michigan.
CommentsI would like info re Butson family in Ontario. My father was Kenneth and grandfather Josiah or Joseph
CommentsHi I'm John McLennan. I was trawling through the internet and the Butson name popped up. My mother was Elizabeth Butson. Her father, Thomas William Solomon Butson, was born at Cooks River, Sydney Australia on 1st July 1857. His father was Samuel Butson a born in Cornwall England in 1832 who was married to Elizabeth Soper born in Cornwall England 1830. They then came to the goldfields in Cental Otago New Zealand
CommentsBorn Fareham (Close to Portsmouth) UK, 1945, arrived Adelaide October 1976, Father, Horace Henry, 1908 to 1985 about, only son to Thomas Henry, My mother, Doris Parker really). Horace and Doris had 3 sons and a daughter who in turn had 8 sons and a daughter. None of these grand children carry the name Butson. and i thought we were special. I now have a Daughter and Son and a Granddaughter, whilst not blood related at all carry the name Butson proudly. Funny world don't you think. As a point of interest Dad said that his father family was from Cornwall he the poor fellow was stone deaf, he was a shipwright at the Royal Navy Dock yards in Portsmouth. As far we know we were the only Butson's there.
CommentsJosh: A cursory search of family surnames and Google searches of these two names seem to indicate quite a few Gimms and Reibelts live or have lived in Stanthorpe Australia. The Stanthorpe phone directory lists some also. I don't know any, personally. Dave
Commentshello my name is josh gimm do u kno any gimms or reibelts in stanthorpe??????????
CommentsI have posted a new web page "From Cornwall to Canada in 1841". www.members.aol.com/wwjohnston/pedlar1841.htm It is a page built upon the 1903 account of the same name. While the account makes no direct mention of Butsons, it seems very likely to be highly relevant to the journey that Solomon and Jane (Keam) Butson and their children took from Cornwall to Canada -- possibly on the same voyage, since their eldest child Mary Keam Butson married 21 July 1841 in Ontario. The people who came seem to have been from the St. Blazey area of Cornwall, so that we are probably related to many of the people who came on these voyages, -- both through inter-marriage in Canada after arrival and through inter-marriage in Cornwall prior to departure.
CommentsI would welcome contact with butsons who may be related. My grandfather Clyde Marshall Butson, grew up in Yackandandah, Victoria.

Commentsmary was my grandmother. i never had the chance to connect with her. she married bolish gurtowsky. any information would be great
CommentsAnother BUTSON to be heard from. I'm Jim, son of Otto, Grandson of John and Emmily (McConnell). Dad was adopted as an infant around 1898. He was born in N. Dak.USA birthname was Pelkington. John and Emmily (both born in Ontatrio) were homesteading in Sask. and are listed in the 1906 District of McKenzie census as well as a David Butson with his wife Hannah and daughter Effie.I wonder if they were brothers? John, Emmily and my mom and dad moved to Meaford about 1921.Mom and Dad married in Sask.1920. This is a great site. Hope to hear from some other Butsons
CommentsMy grandmother was born on St. Joseph Island, Canada. She married John Harvey and lived in Detroit. She had 3 daughters- Phoebee, Fanny, and Sylvia. I am Sylvia's daughter - Deborah Interested in connecting. We use to attend Butson family reunions in Canada...after Mom's death we lost contact.
CommentsI'm Russ Butson. Brother is Bill Jr. We are sons of Bill and Isabel (Isabelle actually, she never liked the extra "le") Butson. Bill was from Kelly Lake-Hibbing, Minnesota. Was a Chicago firefighter (heck, fireman, that's how we always knew it!). Both died Aug 21, 1975. Brother was Tom, school system psychologist in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Sister was Joyce of various places in California and Arizona. Once dated Benson Fong, one of the actors playing the sons in Charlie Chan movies. Grandparents were Bill and Bertha Butson, both I believe were from Park Rapids, Minnesota. Grampa Bill's brother was Jack Butson, wife was Isabel. Funny to have two Isabels in the same family, neither related to family by blood! Died in California around 1976. Interested in finding out if Butson family originally came from Bautzen, in Germany. Also interested in any other history anyone can provide. Unfortunately, that's all I know. Thanks!
CommentsI am definitely one of the Butson's who've had their name MISSPELLED! I'm 13 and very interested in the Butson family :) send me an email if you'd like to chat about our history blackdjinn2000@yahoo.com:)
CommentsHands up how many of you get correspondence where the surname has been misspelled! There certainly seem to be a lot more Butson's out there than I originally thought although most seem to be from Aus and NZ or USA. Glad to see this site is active again after so long well done Dave for your hard work.
CommentsI am actually having a barbecue at my place. Although it is an open invitation barbecue, it is basically a Butson get together. Give me an email if your interested.
CommentsThanks for updating...interested in family history and would love to see a family gathering some day Any ideas out there.... There use to be a Butson Family Reunion but with the passing of my Mom...I have lost contact...
CommentsRE:Butson family Hi James: A thoroughly interesting letter and account of your research. I enjoyed reading it and have a million questions. I am particularly interested in the portrait of Rev. Christopher Butson (1749-1836), Bishop of Clonfert and Killaloe painted by Gilbert Stuart. Do you have a picture of it? Also, could you send me your research on the Butson's of Clonfert and also the Eyre's of Eyrecourt? I would so much appreciate any thing you may send me. Meantime I shall post your note on the Butson.net site and we will see if anyone can help us find out about your Grandfather's picture. I shall research it also, and get back to you. I hope you read my research (on the site) on Capt. Strange Gould Butson,9th Lancers K.I.A., Kabul 1878. Thanks so much for your note. Warm regards, Dave Butson
CommentsHello Dave I have been doing some desk research on the Butson's of Clonfert and have compiled quite an amount of history on that family and also the Eyre's of Eyrecourt. My reasons were to try and establish the authorship of a painting which my Grandfather acquired when he purchased Curraghavarna House in Banagher Co. Offaly Ireland from the Church of Ireland in the 1930's. This house was previously occupied by Jane Moore the wife of Sinclair Edward Gould Butson (1854-1890) when she moved there with her daughter Helina Alice Butson from Clonfert after the death of her father in law the Rev. Christopher H. G. Butson (1818-1892)Rural dean of Aughrim. The painting is an oil on canvas version of "The Rest on the flight into Egypt" in the style of Barocci. In my research, I discovered that a portrait of Rev. Christopher Butson (1749-1836), Bishop of Clonfert and Killaloe painted by Gilbert Stuart, who resided in Dublin between 1787 and 1793, now hangs in the permanent collection of the Huntington Museum of Art, USA having been donated by Mr. George Bagby, the painting was auctioned at the Parke-Bernet Galleries on the 6/7th Dec. 1939 as part of the Mrs. Cornelius Sullivan (Mary) collection. Bishop Christopher Butson(1749-1836)was Grandfather of Rev. Christopher H. G. Butson (1818-1892) who was married to Helena Eyre Maunsell and begot three children. One of whom was Capt Strange Gould Butson,9th Lancers K.I.A. Kabul 1878. Hope this is of interest to you, I will continue with my research which has taken me on a wonderful journey from Barocci back in 1563 to the present day. If there is any help out there from the Butson's or Eyre's regarding my painting I would be very grateful. Kind regards from the Emerald isle James Kenny
CommentsInteresting site! I'm in the US Air Force myself. My family's from a small town in northern New Hampshire (US) where my great-grandfather, Charles A. Butson settled & was a butcher. The family later ran a small regional chain of supermarkets with the Butson family name.
CommentsI am very happy to join the butson family tree au. My name is filumalia i am 100% tongan, I hope i really do fit in with the butson family tree.
CommentsI am the son of Billy and Shirley Butson. I was hoping that some could help with my Butson family blood line. My relatives aren't much help. My grandfather is deceased (1957)? Possibly died while living in Illinois. I was told that he possibly worked for General Motors and owned auto dealerships. I have an Uncle Earl in Missouri. Other uncles are Marv, Fred and Jerry all of Michigan.
CommentsThanks again. By the way, the Johnston newsletter covering St Agnes Butsons asked about the early Cross Coombe family (misspelled as Crofts in his text). The chart I sent to you clarifies his old question: It was John Butson married to Elizabeth Tyzzer. This John was the son of Isaac Butson and Mary Martyn of St Agnes. Elaine
CommentsElaine: Thanks for the note and the research sheet. It seems that the Butson's worked almost every kind of tin and coal mine in Cornwall, doesn't it? Thanks again. Dave
CommentsMy family comes from Butsons that lived in St Agnes parish Cornwall, England. Thomas Butson married Mary Greenway there in 1857. Some of their children were Isaac, bapt. 27 Dec 1857, Thomas Henry, bapt. 3 July 1864, and then four more who were all baptized together on 4 May 1871 at various ages, James Henry, Alberta Ann, Susan Ann, and Clara. The parents both died in 1857, and at least the daughters were taken in by other families. I don't know where the older children (boys) went. I descend from Alberta Ann Butson, who moved to California in 1904.
I've recently visited your Butson Family site again. I'm sorry the old bulletin board got corrupted, but the new system looks nice. I'll attach to this message a .jpg scan I made of another researcher's work to do with the Butsons of St Agnes parish in Cornwall. There was a tin mine called Butson Wheal in St Agnes as well. There were other Butson family lines in St Agnes that don't even connect directly to this large group, so you know there were alot of them there! These families were specifically found at Cross Coombe and Trevellas Downs, neighboring portions of St Agnes parish proper. Let me know if you have any trouble reading this information. I descend from Alberta Ann, baptized in 1871
CommentsAm interested in the religous history of the Butsons.Also have written a childrens story which I sell.Entitled Danas New Shoes.A story for little girls.
CommentsI am the son (born 1943)of Charles Allan Butson & Muriel Irene Peters of Toronto. My father was one of five children, three sons (Charles(Al),Thomas(Bud)& Harold,)two daughters (Isabelle (Break) & Evelyn (Cowan), of Charles Henry Butson & Alice Drynan, both of Toronto. I recall attending a Butson family reunion at Stratford Ontario in the mid-to-late fifties. This is my first visit to your site. It's wonderful! I appreciate all of your efforts. Thank you.
CommentsTo the best of my knowledge there is only one Butson family in Australia. Possibly from Cornwall circa 1826. Interestingly Catholic (your Irish connection again?)
CommentsI am married to Stephen Paul Butson - Born 30 10 1960 in Hockley, Essex, England - son of John Ernest Butson - born 6th June (age about 73/74) - as far as I know they have never met other Butsons' accidently. I have tried to keep the name going by producing 3 Butson boys - Bill, Jack and James - so hopefully when they are older there may be a few more Butsons around
CommentsLooking for descendants of Nicholas Butson & Susannah Trudgian who mere married in St Stephen in Brannel, Cornwall, Eng. Some descendants went to Ontario, Canada but they are not of the Solomon Butson/Joan Keam line but if we go back far enough I believe our lines join up eventually.
CommentsVery informative site - a lot of reading required over the next few days. Thank you.
CommentsVery interesting.
CommentsVery interesting website. I haven't seen any of my family there but I don't know a whole lot about them. I can go back 4 generations to Charles Butson (I think).
CommentsHi, just thought I'd check in as I was surprised to find butson.net I come from a line of Butsons presently in London but which I have traced back to 1790 in the Crediton area of Devon. My line have been variously wheelrights, carpenters, cabinet makers, gas fitters and builders merchants. One day I will write up my research. I had to give up the research due to time constraints as I could not get further back than the birth of John Butson in the 1790s. Until then i'd be happy to hear from any Butsons who wish to know more.
CommentsI was relly suprised to see this site I never knew there was so much behind my name
CommentsMy name is Phil Jones. My Mother-in-Law Elsie Lester(ni Butson) emigrated to Canada after WWII. The Butsons I am looking for came from around Tiverton Devon, England. I am glad to see that you have taken over the original web.
CommentsIt is great to have a Butson web site and be able to check if any from your line have submitted comments.
CommentsThank you for this website. David please email me if you want the information I know about my ancestors and my siblings. Patrick Daniel Butson Arlington, Texas
Commentsi'm from Eyrecourt in co. Galway just lookin at all the stuff u have on eyrecourt. thats all. i won't plan on movin into the castel any day soon.
CommentsAre you aware that Dr. Arthur Butson is a recipient of the British GEORGE CROSS? The George Cross is Britain's highest award for bravery in an action other than in the face of enemy action. It is the equivalent of the VICTORIA CROSS which is awarded for bravery in the face of an enemy.
CommentsOur web site is http://www.cookkk.com - be glad to exchange info with you
CommentsI was really happy to find your site. It's great!
CommentsMy sister pointed this site out to me and it is fabulous.
CommentsI was very pleased to stumble on www.butson.net. I had seen the family newsletter years ago and I have searched the net frequently in quest of more family details. While I currently reside in Toronto, Ontario (Canada), I've lived in Whitby, Ontario about 10 miles from the cemetery where Solomon and Jane Keam were buried in 1863. I am fairly sure I am kin of Solomon Butson of Corwall, England as discussed within this site. My father was born in Stratford, Ontario and his father was born on a farm near Staffa, Ontario (north and west of Stratford.
CommentsI can definately realate to not knowing any other Butson's. Not to mention I have aquired many nick names in relation to my last name. Maybe now I can find someone that can relate. It's exciting to find out that there are actually more Butson's somewhere out there. Please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from another Butson!
CommentsHow nice it is to find this site. I've been trying to find Samuel Ayres' ancestral line in Ireland and there's some valuable information here. Thank you!

CommentsI was trawling the net tonight and found your website. I thought that = you might want to know a little of the Butson family=20 From the desk of Invercargill New Zealand. I am married to Adele = Margaret Butson (b 06/05/1960) (I like to think of her as ( Spinster of = the Parish) the Daughter of Melville Samuel Butson (Mel) born 24.09.1923 = d 05/04/2000. Mel had three other children ( all living in = Invercargill).
Is this the kind of thing you are looking for, if so, there is a lot of = detail that I believe we could muster for you.
CommentsHelping a friend find out about her grandmother Lois Butson who married Gariss Ward. He born 28 Jan 1889 and died July 1970 at Huron, OHIO. Thinks Lois came from Switzerland???
CommentsI am originally from Co. Galway. Part of a farm now owned by my cousin at Sheepwalk, Clontuskert, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway is known as "Butson's Field". This is only time I have heard of name Butson. Sean Kenny

CommentsHi everyone, well done to dave for continuing the site, I did read a few of the old news letters (after it ended). It would be great to know where all these Butson's are scattered specifically in each country, are they in concentrated areas or all over? My dad had two brothers, and apart from their children there don't seem to be any other Butsons in London/Surrey, so it was a great surprise to see all these Butson names on the internet, Butson Boats indeed! Keep up the good work, I do know my uncle brian has done a fair amount of research on the family name in England (I think he's mentioned in the old newsletters. One thing annoys me most and that is the fact that because it's such an unusual name people always mis-spell it or mis-pronounce it, I've been Bulson, Buxton, Buxom! and even Bietso, it drives me mad. It would be good to hear others feelings about having such an unusual name. Cheers Warren p.s I'm 35 and married.
CommentsHey good luck with your research!
CommentsI am a butson. people make fun of my name. My name is Jackie Butson. I would really like to hear from you please send to USA Postal. Jackie Butson 207 south ave. Edgerton Wisconsin. 53534 rock county hope you contact soon! love Jackie Butson 11 Years of age

I have never had contact with any Butsons other than my father and half-sister and half-brother.I do know that my paternal grandfather came from a small coutry town called Yackandandah in North Eastern Victoria, Australia
CommentsG'day, this is a Butson from Australia here. My eldest Butson brother told me about your website so I thought I'd pop along and have a look. It's really fascinating so far - good work. Rachel
