James was the second of five children born to Doc and Sarah and the only one to survive to adulthood, marry and raise a family. His brothers and sister were:

Robert C. Butler, 9/16/1869 to 7/17/1890
Sallie Ann Butler, 12/25/1870 to 7/5/1890

James married Sallie Pierce in Campbell County on March 29, 1891. When they moved to Oklahoma they had three children and three more were born in the ensuing years. Based on the births of their children, James and Sallie were still living in Tennessee in October 1896 and living in Oklahoma at least by May 1899. The family appeared in the 1900 census of Cleveland, Dewey County, Oklahoma.
Doc, by then a widower and unmarried for about ten years, also moved to Oklahoma, settling in Cedar Valley, Blaine County. On Valentine's Day 1901 Doc married his second wife, Victoria Bell Carr. He started a new life with a new family at the age of 56. They were in the 1910 census of Blaine County, Oklahoma with all of their children, Grace, Sam, Emma and Anna.
James and Sallie made their homestead entry on June 20, 1899 for the SE quarter of Section 35, Township 16 North, Range 20 West, Indian Meridian, OK. They paid $14 for 160 acres. They had five years in which to live on and improve the property. In 1905 James gave testimony and proof for their homestead claim. He stated his home was built in October 1899. It was a " box house" 12' x 18' with an addition of 8' x 18'. He had a well, stable, orchard, 1.5 miles of fencing and he had cultivated 60 acres every year for five years. He placed a monetary value on his property of $500 to $600. His claim was perfected on August 24, 1905. At that time, Sallie and James and five children were living in the "box house." Their youngest child, Vella, would not be born until 1912.
