What dates does your information show William, George & Reubin in Bute?Does it show them living there or simply owning land?
I have data showing James, John, George and William Blanton living in Mecklenburg (previously part of Lunenburg)Co., Va., starting about 1760.Many Mecklenburgers owned land in NC and vice versa.
John moved to Halifax Co., NC and likely is the progenitor of the Blantons living in that area.James remained in Meck and seems to have been a successful planter.It is not clear if this William remains, although his wife's name is Dinah.This George appears to be the Rutherford Co. George.
