Notes
a. Note:   RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED

  George Bancroft Buckley Butterfield and Emily Harrison are my maternal fourth great grandparents. George and Emily were 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. Clay married the granddaughter of George and Emily.
  Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent of George Bancroft Buckley Butterfield and Emily Harrison and family structure has been sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of George begins with baptism record, which lists the names of both parents. This is followed by his marriage record, which lists the name of his father. The basis for the descent of Emily begins her baptism record, which lists the names of her parents. This is followed by her marriage record, which lists the name of her father. The basis for the family structure begins with the census records. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below.

Prisoner wore the high buttoned waistcoat and white tie, but his clerical appearance was somewhat marred from the fact that he appeared in the dock without his coat, and the red shirt sleeves that exhibited themselves did not very well accord with the remainder of his dress."
  "On his being placed in the dock, the Chief Officer said prisoner represented himself as the Rev. George Butterfield. He had been staying at the Colonade Hotel, but he got into debt there, and the landlord was obliged to at last to seize his coat because he could get no money. (Laughter). Last night the prisoner forced his way into a house in the Queen's road, and frightened a lady almost out of her wits. She was obliged to call in a constable, who, seeing that the prisoner was drunk, brought him here and locked him up."
  "Police constable Miels, sworn: Between five and six o'clock last night I was on duty in the Queen's road, and I was informed that I was wanted at 28, Windsor terrace. I went there, and found the prisoner in one of the rooms. The lady told me that he had called, and forced his way into the house, and then enquired whether she had apartments to let. She told him she had not, and then he walked into the front room, sat down there, and said he wanted some beer. She sent for a pint of beer, thinking it might quiet him, and at the same time sent for a policeman. (Laughter.) Witness described prisoner as being drunk, and 'civil but quite senseless.' He at once brought him to the Hall."
  "Mr. Bigge: Is this a private house? Witness: Yes. Mr. Bigge (to the prisoner): You have heard what the constable has said; now what have you to say to the charge? Prisoner: I am afraid that what he says is correct, Sir. Mr. Bigge: I see the constable does not say he was disorderly."
  "The Chief Officer added that the prisoner had also gone into another house, No. 29, but the parties there did not come to complain against him. The lady at No. 28 was so nervous from the effects of this that she was unable to come down here this morning. Mr. Bigge asked the prisoner if he had anything more to say. Prisoner: I can only ask you to be kind enough to look over this, and it shall not occur again."
  "The Chief Officer said he was sorry to say there were two or three of this class of persons i the town, people who go and stop and public houses and then have no money to pay. Mr. Bigge (to prisoner): What made you come to Brighton? Prisoner: I came here to get a situation as tutor (Laughter). Mr. Hollis: You seem remarkably well qualified for a tutor. (Renewed laughter).

  "The Chief Officer stated that the prisoner had been lodging at the Colonnade Hotel, Queen's Road, for some time, representing himself as the Rev. George Butterfield, and being drunk last night, and having no money to pay for his lodgings, he was turned out of the house. Prisoner then went and forced himself into the house of Mrs. Lane, 28, Windsor Terrance, and remained there till he was taken into custody."
  "Police Constable Mighell deposed that, between six and seven o'clock last evening, he was called in to 28, Windsor Terrace, where he saw the prisoner sitting in a chair, drunk with no coat on, and a pint of beer before him. Mrs. Lane informed witness that the prisoner had forced himself into her house, and she could not get rid of him. She sent for a pint of beer to quiet him, till she could get a police constable. The prisoner came to the Hall quietly."
  "In reply to a question from the Bench, the prisoner said he was a tutor, and that he came to Brighton in search of a situation. The Chief Officer said there were several other imposters about the town living at landlords' expense. As Mrs. Lane did not appear to prefer a charge against the prisoner, he was discharged."

It was stated by the police that the defendant arrived in Skipton on Friday morning by train from Preston; that he was fresh in drink on his arrival; that he immediately went to the Craven Hotel, and was supplied with brandy, and left the inn without paying. He then visited a beer house, and ran up a small bill there, but had no money wherewith to pay. He next visited the Devonshire Hotel, and had brandy there, and asked for a horse and gig to take him to Rilson (six miles from Skipton), but the innkeeper refused to take the rev. gentleman, although he said he was going to preach at Rilston Church. He visited the Hart's Head Inn, and got spirits there on credit, after which he tried to obtain drink at another inn, but was refused.”
  “Defendant pleased guilty to being drunk, and expressed his regret, saying, if the magistrates would forgive him, he would leave the town at once. He stated he was a clergyman belonging to the Church of England; that he had occupied the pulpit for two Sundays at Newton-le-Willows in the place of the Rev. H. Sherlock. After that he was in London, and whilst there he was engaged by the Rev. G. G. Horner, of Hetton, to do duty at Rilston Church, near Skipton.

Some letters were handed to the magistrates by the police, the contents of which were not made public, but the letters corroborated the defendant's statement in several particulars. The Bench expressed their regret that a gentleman of education should have called as the defendant had done, and they ordered him to pay a find of 5s and costs. It was afterwards stated that the defendant was the son of a physician in Liverpool."

  "Southhampton. A 'Clergyman' Sent to Gaol for Drunkenness and Vagrancy. At the Petty Session on Tuesday, George Butterfield, a middle aged man of respectable appearance, dressed in the habitments of a clergyman, was charged with being drunk and begging in the High street. Edward Sanson, shopman to Mr. Rimer, bacon factor of the High street, stated that prisoner came into their shop and asked for assistance yesterday afternoon. He was 'drink,' and witness refused to relieve him. Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he could walk perfectly straight, but was suffering from a diseased knee cap as well as, he admitted, drink.”
  “Mr. Crambrook, jeweler, of the High street, said prisoner came into their shop yesterday afternoon, and asked his advice as to getting to Bournemouth, and witness told him to get into the train (laughter), and recommended him to go to Mr. Cooksey's, because he was a magistrate. Mr. Cooksey: Thank you, but I don't keep a railway office. Witness added that prisoner was drunk, and asked him to give him a 'start.’ P.C. Purcell said, from information received from the last witness, he watched prisoner, and saw him in the afternoon go to various shops in the High street. One was a publichouse, where he begged for a glass of ale, saying he was dying. At another place he received 5s. He was very drunk. Prisoner said it was not so much begging as borrowing, for he wanted to get to Bournemouth, and had not the money to pay his fare.”
  “The Chairman told prisoner that up to this point the had purposely suppressed the nature of his calling, but it appeared he had engaged himself to do clerical duty for the Rev. H. E. Trotter, vicar of Northam, and on the Monday was thus found drunk wandering about the streets begging. Prisoner: If you will kindly accept my assurance, I was merely trying to borrow this money. I might have been misunderstood.”
  “The Rev. H. E. Trotter said the prisoner answered an advertisement which he put in the Guardian for temporary help, he being without a curate. He never saw anything of him until Saturday night, about ten o'clock, when he had evidently been drinking, and he sent him away at once. He must have been drinking all the day, for he traced him to one or two houses where he had been to get drink. If the magistrates could put him in a place where he could be taken care of for a certain time he might be able to ascertain where his friends lived, and send him home, for he certainly was not capable of taking charge of himself. In reply to the magistrates, prisoner said he had no home. The Chairman: Don't you think it very disgraceful, whether you are a clergyman or anything else? Prisoner: If you will be so kind as to look over it I will never touch a drop of alcohol again as I live.”
  “After the Bench had deliberated, the Chairman said the case was very clear, and they must deal with prisoner as with other vagrants. His conduct had been very bad, and from what they had heard of his antecedents it appeared he had been a great trouble to police in other places. He would go to gaol for seven days, with hard labor. Prisoner: I can't do hard labour with my knee so bad. The Chairman: Then you will do such work as the gaoler will point out to you. Prisoner was then removed below."

  "Clerical Scandals. Clerical scandals seem ever the worst of scandals. Not that they are so, absolutely; but their surroundings tell fearfully against them. A clergyman is expected, and out to be the nature of his calling, and example to others. He is looked up to for guidance by persons who cannot guide themselves; and has a very wide field of influence before him if we have the power and will to wield it. General apathy in ministerial duties happily belongs to the past, and the clergy now are a body of zealous, hard working, and earnest workers, who have brought about a revolution in the religious world. The are now collectively looked upon as being as near perfection as it is possible for them to be, consequently, when one of their number, whose mind is not balanced as it ought to be, gets on to the downward path he attracts more notice than would otherwise be given to him."
  "The Rev. George Butterfield, one of these uneven beings, was brought before the Halifax magistrates on Monday, and a sad story was told concerning him. One of the most painful episodes was the fact that one of the magistrates stated that he had during the accused's father's lifetime stayed with him for two years. His feelings, when obliged to sit in judgement on the son of his late friend, are certainly not to be envied. That position to a man of an ordinarily sensitive nature will probably inflict more pain upon him than the accused himself will feel."
  "It appears from the evidence given that the man has been living for a considerable time past on his wits. He, however, has not found out Becky Sharp's way of living genteelly on nothing a year. Possibly his wits are not so bright as Becky's were. Several clergymen and other gentlemen subscribed money and sent him to Liverpool, and even paid his board and lodging there, in the hope of some reformation. But the passion for drink which he could not resist impelled him to even pawn his clothes to gratify it.”
  “He also played some very curious tricks at Liverpool, and even had the audacity to conduct divine service on one occasion by means of false representations to a clergyman there. One can only agree with the magistrates that they did the kindest thing under the circumstances by sending him to gaol.”
  “There is a chance that compulsory abstinence may have an effect, through two months is a short time in which to work so vast a cure. It is a painful picture, this of a well educated and well connected young man ruining himself through want of moral power and strength; but it is only conspicuous amongst numerous others because of the calling of the man and because such cases are comparatively unknown amounts the clergy.”

  ”Serious Charge Against a Clergyman. A Church of England clergyman, named G. B. B. Butterfield, married of no fixed abode, was on Monday charged at Halifax with begging and with being drunk. He was found in a helpless state of drunkenness in Waterhouse street, and was in consequence locked up. It was found he had pawned his waistcoat for 3s., and a penny was all the money in his possession. It transpired that a number of clergymen and laymen in Halifax had endeavored to befriend the man, and had provided him lodgings at Maude's Temperance Hotel. One day, however, four boys took him to his lodgings, but he was so drunk that he was refused re-admittance. Everything that could be done for him in the shape of food, clothing, and lodgings was done; but this was very badly requited, and it was thought a merciful act to remove him out of the way of temptation for a time. Defendant's father formerly held a living near Richmond and subsequently one at Slaithwaite. The magistrates fined defendant £2 and costs for drunkenness, or one month; and ordered him a month's hard labour for begging. The man could not pay, and he had to go to gaol for the full term.”

At Weston, near Bath, on Saturday, George Bancroft Buckley Butterfield, a clergyman, was charged, that being able to maintain himself he wilfully neglected to do so, and thereby became chargeable to the Bath Union. The Assistant Clerk stated that the prisoner, who during 1886 was confined in the Habitual Drunkards' Home at Walsall, received a weekly allowance of 1£ from Marquis of Bute, through the Roman Catholic clergy at Newport. In Cardiff 10 Dissenting ministers signed a requisition asking the Bishop of London to find Butterfield employment, but it was not presented. The medical officer stated that when Butterfield was in the workhouse the was on the verge of delirium tremens. The prisoner said the allowance from the Marquis of Bute was on condition that he remained perfectly sober. Thinking it was discontinued, and having no means, he went to the workhouse. He was committed to gaol for a month. On the same morning Butterfield was fined 5s., with the alternative of a week's imprisonment, for being drunk in the streets of Bath."

At the Bath Police court, on Saturday, George Bancroft Buckley Butterfield, a clergyman of the Church of England, was charged with having been drunk and incapable in Avon street on Friday night, and was fined 5s, or seven days imprisonment. On the same day he was brought up at the Weston Division Petty session, charge with that he, being able to maintain himself by work or other means, willfully neglected to do so, and thereby became chargeable to the fund of the Bath Union."
  "Mr. Eddolls, assistant clerk to the union, said that this was the first case of the kind prosecuted by the guardians. The prisoner was admitted into the workhouse on the previous Monday, saying, he was destitute. From Crockford's Clerical Directory fro 1878 it appeared that Butterfield was ordained in 1852 by the Bishop of Ripon, and last held a curacy at All Saints', Lambeth, in 1862.”
  “During nearly the whole of 1886 he was confined in a home for habitual drunkards at Walsall, and in January last he was an inmate of Cardiff Workhouse Hospital. After he was discharged from there it appeared that he applied to the Marquis of Bute for assistance, and on the 18th of February a letter, signed by Mr. Anderson on behalf of the Marquis of Bute, promised him a remittance of £1 a week for three months, the payments to be made through the Roman Catholic Bishop of Newport.”
  “While in Cardiff he got tennises Dissenting ministers to sign a requisition to the Bishop of London, asking him to provide employment for Butterfield, and he also joined the Gospel Temperance Union and the Independent Order of Rechabites. When he came to Bath he lodged at 3, Church street, but he was expelled the house in consequence of this drunkenness, and on Saturday and Sunday he put up at a common lodging house in Avon street.”
  “A portmanteau was detained at the lodgings, and in it papers were found from which he (Mr. Eddolls) gleaned his information. When he had gone into the workhouse, a letter was received from the Bishop of Newport containing a cheque for £1. Mr. W. E. Winkworth, relieving officer, stated that when the prisoner applied to him for admission into the workhouse he said he was destitute. Mr. Samuel Craddock, medical officer at the workhouse, said that when he saw Butterfield at that institution he was suffering from the effects of excessive drinking, and was on the verge of delirium tremens. On Friday he was much improved, and at his own request witness allowed him to leave the house. He was quite able bodied, and, if he kept sober, there was nothing to prevent him from earning his own livelihood.”
  “Wm. Bees, lunatic attendant at the workhouse, proved that prisoner had told him that he received £1 a week from the Marquis of Bute. He said he 'saw sights' about the room. Butterfield said he had done everything he could to obtain employment. The allowance from the Marquis of Bute, through the Bishop of Newport, was made on the distinct understanding that he (prisoner) should remain a perfectly sober man, and that as soon as he gave way to drink it would be withdrawn. As he did not receive a cheque on the Saturday, Sunday, or the second post on Monday, he came to the conclusion that the bishop had been informed of his behaviour, and had withdrawn the remittance. Then he stated to the relieving officer that he was destitute.”
  “In answer to the bench, prisoner said he spent a considerable portion of the the last pound he received from Cardiff on drink, and was robbed of some on Avon street. The Chairman said the bench were of opinion that Butterfield was in receipt of an allowance which would have supported him had he not dissipated it in drink. Under the circumstances, the should send him to prison for a month. Butterfield asked to be let off from undergoing hard labour, as he had a weak heart and a broken knee cap. The Chairman said the sentence did not include hard labour.”

George Butterfield, a clergyman dressed in a shabby cassock, was charged on remand at the Westminster police court on Monday, with being drunk and begging in South Kensington. The circumstances under which the prisoner was found wandering about the streets drunk were reported last week. The Chief Clerk stated that since the remand there had been a number of communications received respecting the accused, who was a man of great intellectual power, and a fine classical scholar. His craving for drink was, however, insatiable. Inspector Haswell said accused had been convicted for drunkenness at Birmingham, Bath, Wallingford, Reading, Sutton Coldfield, West Ham and other places."

  "Prior to that the defendant was dismissed from his appointments for drunkenness and domestic differences arising therefore, the magistrate said that it was a shocking and deplorable thing that a man of such talent should be the slave of such a horrible propensity. The only hope for him was to go into a home for inebriates for a long period. Defendant: I should only be too willing to do so, sir. Mr. Safford (Chief clerk): Understand Mr. Butterfield, that it will be a certified home, and that you bind yourself to stay for a certain time. You can be kept compulsorily. Defendant: I am quite willing to sign any such agreement. The magistrate: Will you remain there a year? Defendant: Yes."
  "The Rev. Mr. Napleton said the case excited great interest in Church and temperance circles and if defendant was kept in custody another week the necessary arrangement might be made. Defendant expressed the hope that he might be discharged to the workhouse. Mr. D’Eyncourt : No, You are charged with an offence under the Vagrant Act, and I shall further remand you so that you can be sent to a home for inebriates. I cannot refuse bail, but I hope no one will be bail for you. It is better for you to be restrained from temptation."

  "Clergyman Charged with Begging. At the Thames Police court, London, on Saturday, the Rev. George Butterfield, who was in shabby clerical attire, was charged with begging. A police constable said that afternoon he saw defendant soliciting alms on behalf of an orphanage. On him was an address, 'The Rev. J. Miles, Idol-lane,' and 1d. When going to the station defendant asked for the penny in order to get half a pint of beer. Butterfield said what had been said was a fabrication, and he gave an assurance that he never begged at all. He wanted the ale because he was hungry, and while admitting destitution, asked the Magistrate to overlook the matter. He would take care nothing of the kind ever happened again. He was not exactly a university man, but was a public school man. The Magistrate had defendant put back in order to decide what to do with him. Later in the afternoon defendant was again placed in the dock. The Magistrate said it was sad to see a man of defendant's education in such a position. He would be discharged, and Sergeant King would find him board and shelter until Monday, when a gentleman would assist him. Defendant having given a promise to abstain from taking alcoholic drink, was discharged."
  The following appeared in the Tower Hamlets Independent and East End Local Advertiser newspaper from London, England, on Saturday, November 23, 1895.
  "Correspondence. The Disease of Drink. To the Editor. Sir - I recently drew your attention to the 326th conviction of William Onion at the Thames Police Court, and suggested that some necessary steps should be taken so as to obtain legislative action in such cases, I find this morning another case recorded in the press at the same police court, in the person of the Rev. George Butterfield, clergyman of the Church of England.”
  “This is another case of the drink disease; in this man it takes a very different form. As I have known this man for over 40 years I could tell some most distressing tales, and yet, at the same time, very ludicrous, of the manner in which he behaved. Every effort has been tried to reclaim him. In one instance, I kept him for many months, and then the late Canon Grear, who was very interested in the inebriate cases of those that belonged to his own cloth, promised to take him under his care.”
  “A friend of mine bought his ticket and saw him off from Paddington, the next day I had a post care from the Canon saying poor Butterfield turned up after midnight, without hat and his clothes all torn and bespattered with mud. On the journey down he had somehow managed to get a glass of drink which was quite enough to account for the condition in which he arrived. I again repeat that in this and similar cases, it is not the quantity that is consumed, and therefore something ought to be done to save these poor wretches from themselves. I am, faithfully yours, Edwin H. Kerwin. Great Assembley Hall, Mile End road, 18th, November, 1895."
  The following appeared in the Tower Hamlets Independent and East End Local Advertiser newspaper from London, England, on Saturday, November 23, 1895.
  "Timely Topics. Mr. E. H. Kerwin has been able to point to another unfortunate victim of the drink disease as an illustration of the need for dealing with these cases in a different manner from with the have hitherto been treated. His present illustration is the Rev. George Butterfield who appeared before the Thames Magistrates on a charge of begging a few days ago. Mr. Kerwin has known this man for over 40 years. When the present chairman of the Mile End Vestry was a boy, Butterfield was curate at the church of which Mr. Kerwin's father was churchwarden, and was a frequent guest at his house. He contracted 'drink disease,' which has become worse and more powerful as years have gone by.”
  “Almost every possible effort has been made to reclaim him, but without any permanent effect. Appointments have been secured for him, but these have been lost by the same unfortunate propensities. On one occasion Butterfield was given the post of chaplain to a South Essex cemetery. For the first month his conduct was irreproachable, but no sooner did he received his first stipend than he indulged in a glorious 'spree' which resulted in the loss of his money and his situation!”
  “Again, through the influence of friends, an important post under a colonial bishop was secured for him. His outfit was purchased, his passage secured, and every arrangement made for leaving England. The occasion was, however, too great for Butterfield. He celebrated it - and remained with us! Mr. Kerwin, who has helped him again and again, kept Butterfield for many months, during which period period he occupied his time in writing sermons which were preached by a well known divine in one of our leading cathedrals!”
  “Eventually, Mr. Kerwin interested Canon Grear in Butterfield, who promised to keep him under his own care. A ticket was obtained for him at Paddington and he was seen into the train. The next morning a postcard informed Mr. Kerwin that his protege had arrived at the Canon's house helplessly and hilariously drunk! Surely, in the face of such cases, the disease of drunkenness ought to be admitted and treated accordingly.”
