  • Notes 
    • Hannah Elsbree, wife of Benjamin, died at Fall River at age 35, cause of death -- consumption (Fall River vital records, vol. 20 p. 50).

      She may be a descendant of Thomas Butts & Elizabeth Lake, the first Butts family in southeastern MA and RI.

      As yet I have been unable to determine Hannah's parentage. Her death record says she was born at Fall River.

      The 1810 census shows a "David Butt" at Troy, Bristol Co., MA; he could be Hannah's father. According to an online tree, this couple was David Butts and Rebecca Crapo (dtr of Francis Crapo and Margaret Beale). The census data shows the household consisted of 3 males under 10, one male 10-15, and one male 45+; 2 females under 10, one female 10-15, and one female 26-44.

      It is known that this couple had a daughter Margaret born 1805 in Fall River; she married Philip Cowan in 1823 and died in 1883 at age 77 y 9 m.

      A David Butts of Freetown married Content Cleveland in 1790.

      In 1820 there's also a Benjamin Butt in Freetown who has 2 females under 10.
