Orrin Hall Butler was the son of James and Betsy (Hall) Butler.He was born May 29th 1844 in Berwick, Maine.
He married 1st- May 2 1868- Orianna Chellis of Somersworth NH. She died April 9 1885. 7 children born-5 living at the time this book "Maine- a History" was written. Quite a nice write up about him in this piece.
In the 1850 census of Berwick:
James Butler Jr.- 33-b. ME
Betsy- 32
Mary F.-8
Oren-6
Phillip-4
Joanna A.-2
In 1860 still in Berwick.
New children added:
James H.-9
Alonso-7
Fred-5
Emma-2
Joanna A. in the 1850 census had become Augusta in 1860. Switching names in censuses happened quite often.
James Jr. was probably the son of James, age 67,and Hannah age 65, Butler who were also in Berwick in the 1850 census.
