Notes

  It is not known exactly when John Butterfield left Washington County, NY, but his name appears as one of the first twelve settlers of Wolford Township, Grenville County, Ontario on a list dated 29 July 1797. Wolford Township was opened for settlement in the early 1790's or late 1780's. The names of John's father-in-law, Joseph Haskins, and his three brothers-in-law (Benjamin Barber, Israel Olmstead and John Hutton) also appear on this list. His brother-in-law, Israel Olmstead, is believed to have settled in Wolford by 1792.
  John Butterfield petitioned for land in Wolford Township on 10 Sep 1800. John and Miriam Butterfield and their growing family appear in the censuses for Wolford Township for 1802, 1803, 1804,1806, 1807, 1809, 1813, 1817 and 1819. John purchased land in Montague Townshjip in Lanark County, Ontario in 1822, but he does not appear as a head of household in the census taken there that year. The Butterfield household does appear in the Montague censuses for 1824, 1825 and 1829, however. Land records and daughter Miriam's marriage record place John Butterfield in Kitley Township, Leeds County, Ontario from 1833 until Jun 1836.
  John Butterfield cleared and improved several pieces of land in the Ontario wilderness of the early 19th century. He spent about twenty-five years developing at least two different parcels in Wolford Township on the Upper Rideau, then purchased a piece of undeveloped land across the Rideau in Montague Township from his daughter's Rose in-laws in the 1820's. By 1830, he had returned to Wolford Township, and in 1833, when he was nearing 60 years old, he purchased a clergy reserve lot in Kitley Township. He cleared thirty acres on the Kitley property and built a house there.
  When they were in their 60's, John and Miriam Butterfield moved from Ontario back into the United States for a time. John, Miriam, their unmarried daughter Abigail and their two youngest children, Elizabeth and Joseph, appear in the 1840 U.S. census for Hartland Township in Niagara County, New York. Their married son, John Butterfield, Jr., lived in the adjacent county, Orleans County, in the township of Yates.
  In 1861, when the federal census was taken in Canada, John Butterfield, then 87 and widowed, was back in Wolford Township in Grenville County, Ontario. He was living with his unmarried daughter Abigail in Wolford, near his married daughter, Maria Earl, and her family. ,
