Notes for ELIAS BUTLER:
The History of Elias Butler, the Miller
North Carolina to Tennessee
Elias Butler was born in 1758 in Anson County, North Carolina. He was the son of Christopher Butler (VI). He married Sarah Elizabeth Stark, the daughter of James Starke and Mary Elizabeth Franklin in about 1778. Elias served in the Revolutionary War in the Continental Line of North Carolina from the Salisbury District enlisting in 1780 (he served under General Lillington.) The same year he had a watermill on Rock Creek in Montgomery Co. By 1792 (after losing his first mill) Elias Butler had a growing family and had built a new mill on Rock Creek, a few hundred yards down from the first. In the reconstructed 1784-87 census he is shown to possess one slave. On January 4, 1793, he sold the land that he had inherited and is listed as insolvent in Duplin County in 1794. He must have kept his mill in Montgomery Co. as he witnessed a deed there that same year. He was living there in 1800.
Elias Butler in Carroll County, Tennessee
The flood of people from North Carolina, encouraged by the offering of free land for military service, brought the Butler's with it. Around 1823, Elias and Sarah were moving to Carroll County, Tennessee and were among the first settlers of this area in the western part of the state. Their nine remaining children and their spouses accompanied them, as did the three daughters of their deceased son Reuben and their mother Susan. The Butler family apparently entered Carroll County by water. There were few roads at that time leading west, so they likely went by flat-boat up the Cumberland River to the Mississippi, then a few miles down the Mississippi to the Tennessee River. They would have poled up the Tennessee to the Sandy River which flows into Carroll County. There they settled along the Sandy River. Joshua, James M. (II) and Levi Butler all ran watermills on that river. Elias' children and their descendants spread over the county and to Arkansas where an area was named for them called Butler's Barrens. Though they rarely rose to high public office, they made their name in small business and in prosperous farming. Due partly to their large number, the Butler family was an important force in Carroll County in the nineteenth century.
