Jan,
Have you gotten your information about Elendar Watson Butler?She was indeed the mother of Susan Elizabeth Murff. Hudson and Elendar married 3-28-1828 in Laurens Co SC. Hudson had been married before to a Mary Freeman (info from descendants, no proof) and they had 2 known sons, John Davidson Butler and William Hudson Butler, Jr. Plus the 1820 SC census says they had a female also.
John Davidson and William married in MS. John Davidson to Nancy Belle Nelson in 11-11-1842 and William Hudson (always signed only William) Butler married Nancy Adline Andrews, daughter of David Wright Andrews, a minister.
Elendar had a brother, John Watson that came to MS also.
Hudson Butler was only married twice as far as we know. We know none after 3-28-1828 in SC.
There are some untruths and specilationout there.
Mary Louise Smith Hanson
My great grandfather, William S. Smith married the eldest daughter of Hudson Butler, Nancy Emmaline Butler,a sister to Susan Elizabeth Butler Murff. They reared their children and lived and died in the New Prospect community.
