Elijah Butler
One of my Duplin brickwalls is Elijah BUTLER. Born about 1804 in Duplin or New Hanover
Co. Married Lincey ??. Children (in order): Susan, Mary Amanda (1831-my line), John T.,
Lydia, Benegar, James, Nancy Ann.
Elijah was a blacksmith and his shop was evidently on the road from Cypress Creek at
what is now Pender Co line. He was in Duplin as late as 1867 (voter rolls) and was in
Cumberland Co in the 1870 census. Elijah's line came from Christopher BUTLER Sr. who
settled in Cypress Creek area in c1784. Others in this family (per deed exchanges) are
Thomas (Sr - possibly Elijah's father), and possible brothers Hezekiah, Christopher Jr,
James, Frederick, and Thomas (Jr.?).
Any help welcomed.
