Information
gleaned from EW Butler Wills of 1812 & 1819
plus possible
conclusions
1812 mentioned
A Daughter - Miss
Maria Butler (not yet 18)
A Daughter in Law
(step daughter) – Miss Doris Butler (not yet 18)
presumably daughter
of wife Harriett by first marriage to Charles Christie
1818 mentioned
A daughter Mrs
Pereira (who he disinherits)
Her eldest Daughter
– Caroline (maybe Mrs Pereira is his eldest daughter – Caroline)
Lt Nicolasas (maybe
Nicholson) who is reported as marrying a daughter - either his or wife’s
Harriet Graham –
Widows (Harriet Butler) daughter in law (step daughter) could be a child
from her connection
to Charles Christie.
My two other girls
Mrs Smythe & Mrs Knox (as will is written in 1818 – must presume they
were born before
marriage to Harriet in 1806, therefore by a previous partner.
Son – Edward William
– in England for education. (£1000)
