Notes
a. Note:   eived from http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bing
  Nathan Butterfield's household in the 1810 U.S. census for Putnam, Washington County, NY included two females and one male under ten years old and one female between the ages of 16 and 26 (presumed to be Anne Backus).
  In the 1820 U.S. census for Benson, Rutland County, VT (located very near Putnam, NY), Nathan's family consisted of one boy and one girl under 10, one boy aged 10-16, and a female aged 16-26. No female of Anne Backus' age in 1820 (over 26) is listed, suggesting that Anne Backus Butterfield had died before 1820. The oldest female in Nathan's 1820 household was probably his second wife, Chloe Canfield, who would have been about 22 in 1820. His nearest neighbors were the households of Solomon Gibbs Sr., Solomon Gibbs Jr., and William Manning.
  (The Benson, VT, household was not the only Nathan Butterfield household listed in the Rutland County, VT, census in 1820, however. In nearby Westhaven Township is listed a household consisting of Nathan (aged 26-45), one boy and one girl under 10, one boy aged 10-16, and a female aged 26-45 (presumably Nathan's wife).)
  In 1830 Nathan Butterfield's household in Benson, Rutland County, VT, was headed by William, not Nathan, Butterfield. The nearest neighbors to "William" Butterfield were Solomon Gibbs Sr., Solomon Gibbs Jr. and William Manning, the same neighbors Nathan Butterfield had had in the 1820 Benson census. The Butterfield household consisted of one male under 5 (Walter Chipman); four males aged 5-10 (Ebenezer, William, Nathan Jr., and an unknown boy); one male aged 40-50 (Nathan himself, then 47); one female under 5 years (Sarah); one female aged 10-15 (Deborah); and one female aged 30-40 (Chloe, then 32).
  According to Mrs. William H. Freeland's History of the Butterfield Family (1914), "Nathan and his second wife Chloe and family drove through from Vermont and settled on Harmon Hill, Chautauqua County, New York (near Stockton) about 1838. His daughter Deborah taught school there."
  Nathan Butterfield and his family appear in the 1840 U.S. Census for Pomfret Township in Chautauqua County, NY. His household included one male under 5 years (Hiram); three males aged 15-20 (Ebenezer, William, Nathan Jr.); one male aged 50-60 (Nathan, abt 56); one female under 5 years (Mary Ann); two females aged 5-10 (Orena, Chloe); one female aged 10-15 (Sarah); one female aged 15-20 (Deborah) and one female aged 40-50 (Nathan's wife, Chloe, abt 42).
  In 1850, Nathan Butterfield and his family still lived in Pomfret Township. Nathan was 67 (b NH) and a farmer; Chloe was 52 (b NY). Still living at home with them were their children Orena (16), Hiram (14), Mary Ann (11) and Samuel Draper Butterfield (7). Living next door to them was their daughter Sarah (21, b NY), married to her cousin William R. Butterfield. Nathan and Chloe's daughter Deborah with her husband Levi Wright and her children Chloe and Walter lived next to William and Sarah.
  By 1860, Nathan and Chloe had moved to Jamestown in Chautauqua County, NY. Nathan (77) and Chloe (63) were noted to be paupers in the 1860 U.S. Census. Their daughter Sarah (30) and her children also lived with the Butterfields in 1860. Sarah worked as a seamstress but was also described as a pauper in the census. Her son Joseph (11) and daughter Emma E. Butterfield (8) were also resident in the household.
