John and Sarah Morgan BUTLER of Charing
I have reviewed the parish transcripts from Charing, Co. Kent, England, and believe I have found the parents of my Thomas BUTLER who married Catharine COPPINS in 1811 in
Charing.I found Thomas BUTLER, son of John and Sarah BUTLER, born Feb. 10, 1793, bapt. March 10, 1793.
Further entries were:May 24, 1779, Charing Parish:John BUTLER, bachelor, married Sarah MORGAN, spinster, both of Charing.
John and Sarah BUTLER showed the following children:
Thomas, born 1793 above,
Ann, dtr. of John and Sarah BUTLER, b. Feb. 12, 1789
Mary Ann, dtr. of John and Sarah BUTLER, b. Oct. 8, 1786
William Hunt BUTLER, son of John and Sarah BUTLER, b. July 16, 1779.
A John BUTLER died in the poorhouse Sept. 20,1826 at the age of 74, indicating
birth year ca. 1752.
A relative perhaps was a Robert BUTLER of Charing who married Elizabeth
WILLEURD (sp?) married Aug. 2, 1783.
They had children William, b. June 5, 1784, and Robert, b. July 31, 1786.
Does anyone know more about this BUTLER family of Charing?I believe they also had connections in Lenham and perhaps Egerton, nearby.Best wishes, Gene in Gotha
