Hi Joann - just saw your post of 2013.I have no information on your Reuben Butler who resided 1850 in Lumpkin Co. GA.
Reuben seems to have been a popular name among Butlers, and I have 11 Reubens in my database, plus more in notes, but none connected to GA.Here are some notes about a Reuben in AL; otherwise, the Reubens I am familiar with lived in VA, NC, TN, AR, and TX.
1.Reuben Butler, elder, performed the following marriages in Escambia Co. AL (mar. bk. A)
- p. 322:W. Y. Jones to Eliza McArthur 2 Oct 1889
- p. 235: W. L. Duncan to A. L. Butler 24 Oct 1889
- p. 397: R. D. Smith to Eliza A. Wan 3 Sep 1891
This Reuben Butler may be the following: 1880 census Escambia Co. AL, Brewton, p. 212D: Reuben BUTLER Self M Male W 53 AL Farmer SC SC
