Synopsis

Excerpt from John Butts: His Ancestors and Some of His Descendants

The past few years have witnessed an increased interest in gene alogical work. Writing a family history, once generally regard ed as a pursuit of royal pedigree, has come to be a task, by no means uninteresting in many an unpretentious family. As a plain and comprehensive record of one''s ancestors, not as incidental steps back to some more or less illustrious person, does a family history most truly serve its purpose.

This book is nota complete history of the Butts family. The record begins with Thomas Butts, who came to this country from Norfolk County, England, in 1660. To trace the genealogy of each of his four children would be a task most difficult to accomplish, and one which the duties of my profession would forbid me to attempt. The name of Daniel Butts, page 31 (the fifth generation from Thomas) marks the point at which this book begins to be a complete record.

It was my original intention, when I had traced the genealogy of all the descendants of Daniel Butts, to publish the work and to call it Daniel Butts, His Ancestors and His Descendants. While collecting the data, I obtained incidentally considerable information about other branches of the family, and I decided to include it in my work in the hope that some other member of the-family might take it in hand and try to complete the various lines. In order to make the title consistent, I changed the name of the work to John Butts, His Ancestors and Some of His Descendants. John Butts was the first member of the family to settle in Dutchess County, New York. The additional matterto which I refer will be found in the last part of the book begin; ning on page 86.

This work contains no record of the immediate ancestry of Thomas Butts, the first member of the family to settle in America. The Visitation of Norfolk (norwich, 1878) contains a genealogy of the Butts family on page 343. The same pedigree may be found in
