JOSEPH BUTT was born on 10 Aug 1805 at Winterborne Stickland, Dorset, England. He grew up in a family of seven, five boys and two girls. He was Methodist.
He married SARAH ARNOLD on 7 Jun 1824 at Winterborne Clenstone, Dorset, England, at the age of 18S9. He immigrated in 1841 to Ontario, Canada. "(Sarah Arnold) who was the daughter of a gentleman, got so tired of being snubbed by her rich sister, made (Joseph) leave England and go to Canada. The twins were born Sept 24, 1824 (James & Elam) and (the family) came to Canada in 1841. (Joseph) was only 36 then and his wife died and a baby also a week after they arrived in Toronto."S6 The death of his wife of seventeen years left Joseph a widower with ten children.
He married ANN WINN on 15 Aug 1843 at Darlington Township, Hampton, Durham County, Ontario, Canada. Ann "had no people around her and she was only 18. Her mother was hired to keep house for two old toughs who worked in the bush for the Elliott's. The mother died and (Joseph) took pity on the girl and married her. (Elam) and ... James never could acknowledge her and they never cared for her or any of the second family. All the others mixed up together."S6
While in England Joseph worked as a Cooper. In Canada Joseph became a farmer.S7 He and ANN WINN appeared on the census of 1871 at North Huron, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. The Hannah Butt Taylor Letter is a very interesting source of information on Joseph, his life and his family. Joseph was an extremely prolific man, fathering 10 children by Sarah Arnold, 9 children by Ann Winn, and each wife had at least one child who died in infancy, for a total of at least 21 children.
He died of complications from Asthma on 7 Mar 1879 at Goderich, Huron County, Ontario, Canada, at age 73. He was buried in Balls Cemetery at Goderich, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. Joseph's cemetery stone:
