34. ALEXANDER9 BUTTERFIELD (CYRUS8, BENJAMIN7, BENJAMIN6, BENJAMIN5, JOSEPH4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, BENJAMIN1) was born 9 March 1793 in NY333,334,335,336, and died 19 November 1867 in Newfane, Niagara Co, NY337,338. He married LUCINDA PEASE ~ 1814 in (NY), daughter of JOSIAH PEASE and NANCY PARSONS. She was born ~ 1798 in ME339,340,341, and died 19 November 1867 in Newfane, Niagara Co, NY342. Notes for ALEXANDER BUTTERFIELD: Alexander Butterfield and his wife Lucinda Pease Butterfield settled in the town of Kempville (later called Olcott), Niagara Co, NY, in 1814. In the same year he was acting Postmaster in Kempville. Niagara County Historian records show him to have been postmaster in 1817. U.S. Postal Service records show he was official Postmaster from 1820 to 1841. He owned and operated a tavern in Kempville in what is now Kruger Park, in 1819. He was elected "Censor" of the Niagara County Medical Society in 1823. He was appointed Commissioner of Schools when the town of Newfane, Niagara Co. NY was organized in 1824. He was Justice of the Peace sometime after 1824. He operated the Kempville Hotel in 1833. The Codicil to Alexander Butterfield's will is dated 18 June 1866, but in the petition for probate it is stated he died in the town of Newfane, NY on or about 17 November 1856. There is some question naturally, as to when he died-one or the other must be a typographical error.

Excerpt: "My grandma Kasandana had old letters from Alexander, Postmaster in Wolcott - near Rochester, N.Y. no stamps were needed. He sent a description of troops going to Canada during Patriot War. I let Rev. Roger Williams of Lowville, N.Y. take that - If I can trace him & that vivid letter I will send it to you. ================================== At a meeting in 1816, the following recommendation was recorded. It tells clearly what was required of students who wished to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine: "Whereas, Horatio Orvis and Sylvester Miller have produced to the Trustees of the College satisfactory evidence that they have each of them regularly studied Physic & Surgery with one or more reputable Practioner(s) of Physic & Surgery for the Term of three years and that they have each attended two full courses of Lectures of all the professors in this college and they having each of them been examined by the Professors of this College in the presence of the Trustees on the several branches of Sciences taught in this College and having each read and defended a Thesis on a Medical subject at the time of his examination and having also, by the Professors and Trustees of this College, been considered as qualifed and well entitled to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine therefore Resolved that the said Horatio Orvis and Sylvester Miller be and they are hereby respectfully Recommended to the Regents of the University of the State of New York to receive said Degree." In 1817, Alexander Butterfield, Jonathan S. Buel, Caleb Budlong, and James Warden presented certificates that entitled them to a public examination which was duly given and they were recommended to the Regents for the degree of M.D. In 1818, these gentlemen qualified for a medical degree: David M. Richards, Ayers P. Merrill, Lucius Woodbury, Jonathan Sherwood, Luther Guiteau, Isaac Sears, and James Hadley. 1819: James Tripp, Horace Brownson, Joseph N. Clark Also in 1818, "Resolved that no dead human body be admitted into this college in vacation of Lectures; and further that if any student in any way attached to the said College shall hereafter either directly or indirectly be concerned in digging up or in removing from any cemetery or burying ground any dead human body to be used as an anatomical subject in said College he shall forthwith be dismissed from the college and his name given up to some proper(?)

Her early life was spent in Hatfield, IL, where she fitted herself for teaching. For about 8 years she successfully maintained as principal a flourishing seminary for young ladies. She relinquished her school to become thge wife of Wellington Butterfield. Their married life was spent at Lockport, NY, at Marquette and Horicon, WI and Minneapolis, Minn. From their home at Horicon, Mrs Butterfield for a quarter of a century dispensed a charming hospitality to a wide circle of admiring friends and acquaintances--a circle not bounded by state lines. Soon after her removal to Minneapolis, she and her husband became charter members of the Monday club, one of the three oldest literary clubs in the city, and to the work of this club she devoted the wealth of a mind enriched with stores of learning and wisdom, until her advancing years compelled her to relinquish the duties of active membership in the club. She and her husband were continued on the records of this club as honorary members, and this pre-eminence, vouchsafed to but few persons by this club, marks the esteem in which she has ever been held by the members and the large circle of those who are familiar with this club and its excellent literary work.

Notes for MILTON BUTTERFIELD: Milton was a school teacher, but so far no records have been found to prove where he received his education, or where he taught in Niagara. His Uncle, Wellington taught in Lockport, NY, so Milton may have taught in a school there. In 1849 Milton and Martha settled in Troy, AL until the purchase of land in Union Springs, AL, where they opened their own school. Milton taught Math, Science, History, Government and Music. Milton continued to teach school until the outbreak of the War Between the States (1861). The War Dept records from the US Adjutant General's Office show him as Captain M. Butterfield, of the Alabama 23rd. The Alabama 23rd was captured at the Battle of Vicksburg (June or July 1863) and later exchanged. He stopped at his home in Union Springs prior to returning to the Confederate Army, this was the last time his family ever saw him. He was attached to a scouting expedition during the siege of Atlanta. Milton was wounded at Stone Mountain, GA near Atlanta, on 19 August 1864, by unexploded shrapnel, while writing a letter to his wife, and died of his wounds. He was buried near Stone Mountain by his colored [sic] body-servant, Ward. The servant delivered the letter to Milton's wife Martha along with a letter from Milton's Commanding Officer. These letters were sent to the Department of Archives and History in Montgomery, AL and cannot now be located. The servant Ward was never able to locate the grave when he and Martha Batchelder Butterfield went there after the war.

Her parentage has not been ascertained but it is assumed that she ties in somehow to the Bachilor family of New Hampshire. She was a school teacher, who in 1846, accepted a teaching position in or near the City of Lowndesboro, Lowndes Co, AL. During the summer of 1847 she took a boat on the river from Benton, Lowndes Co, AL to New Orleans, LA where she boarded a River Boat "The Alexander Scott". She travelled thus to Cincinnati, OH, and took an overland stage and the train cars to Sandusky, OH where a sister lived. Among her many stops was Lockport, NY. While in Niagara she took in the wonders of the Falls, and from her diary, a husband as well. She continued on her journey through the Erie Canal and arrived at Springfield, MA where she was met by another sister. She remained a few days and went on to Nashua, NH. Milton arrived there on 17 July 1847. They were married by Rev. D. D. Pratt. In 1849 they settled in Troy, Pike Co, AL until the purchase of land in Union Springs, where they opened their own school. Martha taught French, Latin, English Literature and Geography. After the wedding of Milton and Martha she does not make another entry in her diary until 3 Jan 1851. At this time she is writing in Orion, AL. She mentions that "Little Ned" and again "Little Eddie" is toddling around. She mentions the "academy" in both Orion and Union Springs, but never mentions the name of the schools. Milton was killed during the War Between the States and Martha made her home in Union Springs, AL with her son Edward Milton following the close of the War.

There were the only kinfolk we had in the South, and so we very jealously claimed kin." "...but I am glad that you wrote me. Where is Emmett?

Notes for EDWARD MILTON BUTTERFIELD: Edward Butterfield was about 16 when the War Between the States ended. In speaking about the war, he was quoted by his grand-daughter Lucy Farris Heidenreich as saying, "Wisconsin supplied the fighters and Connecticut supplied the thieves." ===================================== Letter [reproduced as written] from Henry J. Rosenstihl, Jeweler and Registered Optometrist, Union Springs, AL, to Lucy Farris Heidenreich 10 Nov 1953: "Dear Madam: This will be a jumbled up letter so you may wade through it. My parents moved from New York to Columbus Ga Jan 1861 in the month of January. In April the same year the war broke out and my father enlisted in the Confederate army, they were Germans, their names Mr & Mrs William Rosenstihl, my father was a Jeweler and Watchmaker, had seven children I am the youngest. I was born August 7th 1869 have just celebrated my 50th Wedding anniversary. Your letter interested me, I am the oldest NATIVE BORN CITIZEN in Union Springs, I remember Mr Ed Butterfield, for some reason the Butterfields and my people were friends. I have a photograph of Ed Butterfield in a Brass Band, the other members that stand out plain on this old picture is a Mr. Henry Harris and also George Hanson, and a Mr Jim Eley. There is a lot in the old Cemetary with the names BUTTERFIELD and the graves are under the Episcopal church. The property was procured from the Foster Estate for the Episocpal Church and the Carnegie Library, permission was given by Mr Butterfield not to remove the graves but to build over them, several graves were on the spot and premission was granted from all those interested at the time the buildings were constructed. Now as to who is buried on this lot, I dont know. On May 3rd 1879 my father repaired a gold watch for E.M. Butterfield, this was a bouble case gold watch made by Hyde and Sons London and Paris, the same date another gold watch was reparied for Chas A. Butterfield Made by Dobile & Co, Geneva Switz. On May 18th 1868 to 1873 Robert Fleming and Laura J. Fleming gave a deed to Martha M. Butterfield for a certain peice of property in Union Springs. There is also a deed from M.M. Butterfield to C.A. Butterfield There were other transfers of property listed about this same time, among them as Martha M. Butterfield to Edward M. Butterfield. There were a few children in the family, it sees Emmett and Julian, he was quite a small boy and used to go to the country with a boy name Frank Hubbard and they hunted together, it seems the old home was on north Pararie Street and also down near what was know as the old Tom Martin home, just this other side of the bridge that crosses the Central of Ga R.R. My oldest sister used to write us that she saw Ed Butterfield quite often and he must have moved to Birmingham, as the letter written here regarding the lots was from Birmingham, to let the graves remain. As for as the school proposition the old teachers were a Mr McMurray, Prof McIver, M.R. Simmons and J.M. Banks, there were many private schools that I attended, being Misses Carrie and Nilla Norman, Miss Carrie Threadgill, Mrs McGowan, Mrs Honie, Mrs Mabson, Miss Kittie _ urch [Purch, Burch], these go back to the time I was 6 years old, and there was a Mrs Tanner, which I forgot to mention, your people may have been connected with one of the above. The name ACADEMY for a school came Later on. I am giving you the names of the oldest teachers. As for the Millinary business these are the following names, Miss Mary Graves, Miss Kate Coleman, and my mother who was in the business when I was a small boy. The place she could have had a dress and milinary shop would have been the upper part of North Pararie St. that was where the shops were during those days, they were all wooden shacks and are torn away, and built up.
