Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated June 6, 2021 Nellie Muriel Butterfield is my maternal second great aunt, which is via common ancestry with George Bancroft Butterfield and Annie Gertrude Papineau. Nellie was initially identified in the book "Genealogy of Hollon and Related Families: Early Settlers of Eastern Kentucky and their Descendants,” which was written by Clay Hollon, and was published in 1958. Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent of Nellie Muriel Butterfield is sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of Nellie begins with the census record, which shows her living with her parents. This is followed by her birth record, which lists the full names of both parents. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below. 1886 BIRTH OF NELLIE MURIEL BUTTERFIELD Researched by Timothy J.
