Notes
a. Note:   eived from http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bing
  In 1810, Edward lived in Putnam Township in Washington County, NY, near his brothers and sisters. There were four children under 10 years old in his household in the 1810 U.S. census, but only one (Betsey, b 1806) has been identified. The two boys under ten may have been the sons of his recently widowed sister, Octavia Case: 7-year-old Ephraim Case (b 1803) and 5-year-old Nathan Case (b 1805). The other young girl in Edward's household could have been 9-year-old Rosetta Case, one of Octavia's daughters. Until more documentation is found, however, it must also be considered possible that the three unidentified children were Edward and Polly's own sons and daughter.
  By 1820, Edward had moved to Sempronius in Wayne County, NY, and five more children had been added to his family. One of the young boys and one of the young girls who were in Edward's 1810 household, who would have been in their teens in 1820, were no longer living with Edward's family.
  In 1830, Edward (then 49) lived in Wolcott (also in Wayne County, NY) and a tenth child had been added to the family. Living nearby was a young Isaac Butterfield, in his 20's (b betw 1800-1810), who had a young wife and a son under five years old. Isaac may have been one of the young sons present in Edward's 1810 household, but no evidence has so far been found to prove Isaac's relationship to Edward, if any.
  On 1 Sep 1831, "Edward Butterfield of Wayne County, New York" received the patent for an 80-acre parcel of land he had purchased in Section 21 of Novi Township (T1N, R8E) in Oakland County, Michigan.
  The Edward Butterfield family was in Otisco Township in Ionia County, Michigan, when the 1840 U.S. Census was taken. At that time, 59-year-old Edward and his wife (in her 50's) still had five younger people living with them: three males (one aged 10- 15, two aged 20-30); and two females (one 15- 20 and one 20-30). One of the two older young men was probably John N., about 22 and still unmarried. The young woman in the 15-20 year age group may have been Edward and Polly's youngest daughter, Asenath (Sena) who would have been about 19 at the time and who was still unmarried.
  There had been no boy under 5 years old in Edward and Polly's 1830 household, so the boy 10-15 years old in their 1840 household was probably not their son. He may have been the young son of Isaac Butterfield who had lived near Edward and Polly in 1830, however. The male and female aged 20-30 in Edward and Polly's 1840 household could have been Isaac and his wife (although both had been enumerated in the 20-30 age group ten years earlier).
  In August of 1841, Edward received the patent for 160 acres of land he had purchased in Section 25 of Keene Township, Ionia County.
