Notes
a. Note:   eived from http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bing
  Two different marriage dates are reported for John Butterfield and Abigail Morse: 23 Jul 1775 and 16 Feb 1774.
  John and Abigail are believed to have lived in Cheshire County, NH until at least 1790, when their family appeared in the 1790 U.S. Census for the town of Keene. The 1774-1782 diary of Abner Sanger, a Keene resident, mentions both John and Benjamin Butterfield a number of times, starting in 1778 (although it is possible these references are to John's father and uncle, also named John and Benjamin). Keene, NH, vital records list the births of their older children, starting with their third child, Octavia, in 1779, through their sixth child, William, in 1785. (The birthdates of their two older children were recorded in Keene vital records as well, but were said to have been born elsewhere: John in Newton, NH, in 1775, and Sally in Packersfield (now Nelson), NH, in 1777.)
  Submissions to the International Genealogical Index based on extracted New Hampshire vital records give two different birthplaces for John and Abigail's first child (John, b 10 May 1775). One says young John was born in Keene, Cheshire County, while another says he was born in Newton, Rockingham County. If their first child was indeed born in Keene, John and Abigail were probably present in Keene in 1776 when all men over the age of 21 were asked to sign an oath of allegiance to the patriot cause. The John Butterfield of Keene who refused to sign this oath could have been either John or his father. (See Notes for John Butterfield, b 1728.)
  John Butterfield's household appears in the 1800 U.S. Census for the town of Westfield in Washington County, NY, suggesting that he moved his family there from Keene, NH, sometime between 1790 and 1800. John was about 47 in 1800, while Abigail was about 45. Both are listed in the 26-45 age category in the census. There were five children in the Butterfield household in 1800: one boy 10-16 (William?), one girl 10-16 (b 1784-1790) , one girl under 10 (b 1790-1800) , and two boys under 10 (b 1790-1800). Their five older children (Nathan, Edward, Octavia, Sally and John) were from 17 to 25 years old in 1800 and do not appear in the Butterfield household in 1800.
  In 1806, the town of Putnam was set off from Westfield, and Westfield's name was changed to Fort Ann. John Butterfield attended the first town meeting for the town of Putnam on April 4, 1806, and was elected as one of the town's three assessors and also as one of the town's eight overseers of highways. A township road was surveyed and recorded in 1809 which commenced in John Butterfield's meadow.
  In the 1810 U.S. Census, John Butterfield's household in Putnam consisted of one boy under 10, one young man 26-45, one man over 45 (John, who was 57), two girls 10-16, one young woman 26-45, and one woman over 45 (probably Abigail, who would have been about 55 years old). The two boys under 10 who were in their household in the previous census do not appear in the 1810 census, as there were no boys aged 10-26 in their 1810 household.
  In 1811, John Butterfield was designated as one of the three persons to receive blackbird heads and crow scalps and to pay the township bounties for them. No further mention of John Butterfield is made in Thomas McArthur's history of Putnam, NY.
  There were no adults over 45 years of age in the John Butterfield household in the 1820 U.S. census for Putnam, NY. Living in John Butterfield's house were one female aged 26-45 and four children: two boys and one girl under 10 and one boy 10-16. John Butterfield may have died before 1820 or may have been living in the household of one of his children in 1820. (A male of John Butterfield's age appears in his daughter Mathilda Holcomb's 1830 census household, for example, but no corroborating evidence has so far been found to confirm that that person was 77-year-old John Butterfield.)
  Other genealogies which report John to have died in 1823 in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, may be confusing this John Butterfield with another of the same name and age whose descendants are more widely documented and who lived continuously in Goffstown, NH, from at least 1776 through 1820.
