Major Thomas Jefferson Butler may have been born in either South Carolina or in King George County, Virginia (like his brother Colonel Bailey Butler)? His parents' names are uncertain, but documented evidence is welcomed. Many researchers seem to believe his father's name was also Thomas. [A Virginia Compiled and Census Substitutes Index lists a Thomas Butler living in Westmoreland, King George County, Virginia in 1740.] Major Butler's burial site is also unknown. Perhaps this memorial may facilitate more definite research.
An official Tennessee Historical Marker in Butlers Landing, TN honors Daniel Boone on one side and Thomas's brother Bailey on the other side: "During the War of 1812, Bailey Butler, an early 19th century pioneer at Clay (then Jackson) County, and a Captain of the West Tennessee Volunteer Militia, fought in the Battle of Talladega under Commander Andrew Jackson. Butler was named first postmaster of what became known as Butler's Landing in 1831. The first county court met nearby in 1871 on land first owned and operated by Bailey Butler and his family. The Butler's built their houses, and operated a river ferry and landing site on the Cumberland River at it's juncture with Mill Creek and Dry Fork Creek."
