... His [William Butler's] parents were Samuel and Mary (Davenport) Butler. The father was a native of Georgia, born in 1793, and came with his father's family to Wayne County, Indiana, in 1806, when he was thirteen years of age. The grandfather's name was Beal Butler, who married Mary Stubbs, who was the first white woman to make a home on the west side of the Whitewater River, in Wayne County, Indiana. The Butler family, of English origin, have oscillated between the pulpit and the forum, both in England and America. Now pleading in one, then thundering from the other, but in each becoming potent factors for public good. Our subject's father, Samuel Butler, was reared on a frontier farm in the wilds of Wayne County, Indiana, and when grown to manhood was united in marriage to Miss Mary, daughter of Jesse and Rebecca (Hoover) Davenport, whose family connections were of Quaker extraction. Her father was a native of North Carolina. The mother of our subject was born in Wayne County and died when William was but four years old, just when a boy needs the tender watch-care of a kind, loving mother.
In the spring of 1843, his father [Samuel Butler] removed to Whitley County, Indiana, then the home of the numerous Indian tribes, and all one vast wilderness. Here he again became a pioneer and began the no easy task of developing a farm, which, in that State, and at that day, signified great hardship and much work. Perhaps no part of the Union was settled under greater difficulties than the " Hoosier " State. Amid the frontier scenes, surrounded with naught but the wilds of an undeveloped country, were the first and perhaps most valuable lessons of Mr. Butler's life, taught by the great teacher, experience. With him, as with so many men who have made life a success, it would seem that the labor performed and hardships endured in a new country, all tended to make strong his character. ...
