Did this William and Samuel move into the Cabell County area about 1818? I find a William and a Samuel on tax lists for Cabell County starting in 1818, also a William Jr. and a James. Then in a few years there is also Reuben, and a few years later, Thomas Jefferson. William Sr. disappears from the tax lists after 1825, and seems to be replaced by Sarah (his widow? she is on the list because she has a male 16 or above in the household). Samuel disappears from the tax lists after 1828. I did find mention of Samuel's death in the Cabell County Minute Book 3, and find his orphan son, William being bonded out. By 1833 my GGG Grandfather Matthew Hamilton Butcher is on the tax lists and by the late 1840's he is the only Butcher on the lists. He had a son named Thomas Jefferson, my GG Grandfather. I am trying to determine which of these men may have been his father. I feel that this William Sr. was the father of most of these men, including this Samuel. Do you have any other information to add to this?Thanks!
