WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ALL
THIS?
Wesley Johnston, has given
me the opportunity of continuing his extensive research of the
Butson family name for which he labored for over 20 years. (Archives of Butson Family Newsletter - By Wesley
Johnson)
Using all the power of the Internet and all the Butson netizens out
there.....maybe, together, we can crack this case and finally track down
not only the origin of Ensign Butson, Revolutionary Soldier Wheelas
Butson, Solomon, Cecil and the Canadian Butsons but the source of each
country's Butsons and ultimately nail down the origin of our
"rare" name.
As the days go by, I will endeavor to upload data
to this site that I have received from Wesley Johnston's Butson
Newsletters, email, personal research and other information I have on
the Australian, New Zealand, South African, Hungarian, U.S. and British
Butson lineage. So....check back often and stay in touch.

Candidate for earliest, recorded, Canadian (Loyalist) Butson:
Excerpt from: "THE
QUINTE LOYALISTS 0F 1784." By P. H. BRYCE, M.A., M.D.
(This information was originally published
by: ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Papers and Records Volume 27, Published
in Toronto in 1931 Pages 5-14. ) "Perhaps
the most interesting lists are those of the men who enlisted early in
1776 and 1777 in the Lake Champlain and Upper Hudson campaigns. The
first is Capt. Edward Jessup's Corps of Loyal American Rangers, enlisted
Nov. 4, 1776, recruited by John Buel, Sergt. and Martin Kelly, corporal
(both old soldiers) and enlisted for 82 days." G. T. Butson,
Ensign. (one on list) |

By the way....there is no charge for
anything on this site, no commercials, banners, aggravating
ads or hidden agendas.
This website is a non-profit endeavor to
assist, as best we can, in furthering the initial work of Wesley
Johnston. We hope it will help bring Butson descendants
together in one forum, with a common goal of creating complete,
historically accurate, and lasting genealogical records for our
children and grandchildren.
I hope you will join me in this search for
and review of our ancestral past.
Last, but not
least....many thanks and warm regards to Mr. Wesley Johnston for
the great work he has done on
"The Butson Family
Newsletter" (1979 - 1998) and all he has done to
further our knowledge and to bring the World - Wide Butson
family together.
