Subject: James P. Butler & Blance Peterson 1880
posted August 31, 2000 10:22 CT    Delete This Entry
I found my ancestors James P. Butler and wife Blanche Peterson Butler with their children in the 1880 census for Williamson County Illinois.

James P. Butler, age 35, born Tn (12-12-1835)
Blanche Peterson, age 37, born NC (born 8-6-1833

Their 5 children:
William, age 20, birthplace Illinois
John, age 18, birthplace Illinois
Mary Elmina age 11, birthplace Illinois
Louis W. age 8, birthplace Illinois
James, age 5, birthplace Illinois

I believe the ages are not listed correctly as James should be 45 and Blanche should be 47 in 1880.

Blanche is listed as "sick" on census, and family information lists her death in February of 1880.

I would imagine that most likely James P. Butler remarried after the death of his wife blanche in 1880.

Their daughter, Mary Elmina Butller married Andrew Jasper Doughty, and reared their family in the Corinth area; next to Shiloh Church.

They are both buried in the Shiloh Cemetery.

My G-Grandmother Mary Elmina Butler-Doughty inherited a portion of her Fathers farm in Corinth, and so did her baby Brother James B. Butler.

Family legend has her brothers, John, William, Louis W. and James all moving to St. Louis, MO.

The only mention of her brothers in our family papers is a hand written wedding announcement, mailed from St. Louis Mo in April of 1904, to James P. Butler in Corinth:

James B. Butler & Isabel Smith married December 30th 1903 in St. Louis Missouri. James & Isabel Butler live at 4449 Ashland Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri.

I am interested in finding any families connected to the above mentioned persons.

I cannot find any brother above in any census of Williamson County after 1880.

Thank you, Dennis G. Doughty

I am searching for information on my great grandfather John Shaw. He was born 1849 in Franklin county Illinois. His first wife was Rebecca Elizabeth Sanders born 1853 Franklin County, Illinois. She died 1895. They had the following children: William C. b. 1870 Williamson County d. 1953 married Dora Ragsdale; Theodocia Docie b. 1872 Williamson County married Marshall Ragsdale; Ethel b. 1874 Williamson County; Roy b 1876 Williamson County. John Shaw's second wife was Louzia Bracie. They had one child Jewell b 11 Nov. 1898. John and Louzia both died around 1900 as Jewell was raised by her brother Roy. Roy and Jewell are both listed in the 1900 Census for Williamson County. If any one has information concerning these families I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

I am searching for information regarding my paternal great grandparents, Carlo (Charlie) Ruggeri and his wife Maria Carnaghi Ruggeri. Both immigrated from Cuggiono, Italy prior to 1900, to Herrin, Illinois. Charlie Ruggeri was a coal miner. I think he must have been involved in the 1922 strike at Southern Illinois Coal. I am trying to validate that.

I still have relatives in Herrin named Calcaterra, but they do not seem interested in participating in the research. Any help would be appreciated.
