Martha BUTLER

Other Events:

• _UID: AB1213A78D634482B795E37BE050FF656BB1

Notes:

From the designation of her son William as a "free Mulatto" in documents from 1771, we can assume Martha was a woman of color or possibly Native American. If she were black, we do not know if she was a slave or free, but since her son was free, it is possible she was free as well. More research is needed into manumission records to see if William and/or Martha were freed. Also, need to check the 1850 census for descendants to look at racial classification.
