I know you are interested in the Bryan Co. Ga, Butlers. On Line someone shows the Bryan
Co. Butlers as related to the famous Pierce Butler. He was in Philidelphia and may have had
relatives in Va. or Md. or his family married into the Va.or Md.family. There was a show on
PBS about his Rice Planation on Butlers Island off the coast of Ga. There is a book "Major
Butlers Legacy" that documents his family. His family seems to settle in coastal areas like
Charlston S.C.-Coastal Ga. and New Orleans. Some of his family either m. into to NC. Butlers
later on or were related from the start because some of them were in Thomas, Decatur Co Ga.
They also had relatives in the Bahamas. There were some named Thomas in this family.I can.t
verify this but I always thought this was true.
