The following FTM report on the descendants
of Moses and Elizabeth Reece Butler was
generated on October 9, 1999, by Philip
Underwood-Sheppard. I am nowhere near having
the complete record of Moses' descendants and
am in the process of seeing if some research
can be done for me in Transylvania County to
add to the report. I've included only
four generations in an effort to
leave out folks who are, or may still be,
living. That includes cutting out survivors in
obituaries and in some sets of parents' list of
children.
A note about veracity of the
records and the sources: As with all published
genealogy, mistakes will creep in. I have noted
in the endnotes either documents or individuals
where the information was obtained. Living so
far from Transylvania County makes it difficult
to do original research among documents, but
even documents can be "doctored," say one thing
when another was happening. I've tried my best
and am completely open to the correction of my
data. Dates without endnotes can be attributed
to the location of the burial site or my
failure to document the source. If it is a
cemetery record, the cemetery will be listed.
Also, see "A final note"
below.

A final note: If
this information is useful to you, e.g. helps
you fill in those ever-present blanks, then by
all means use the data. But, please,
include the sources s a credit to my work and
the work of others. It should be
noted here that some endnotes didn't transfer
from my FTM program: data on the descendants in
the Butler/Ellenburg line should be attributed
to Donna Head Burg; data on the Jesse Lowe
family came from Transylvania
County, North Carolina, 1870 Census, Linda
Hoxit Raxter, ed., Alexandra's Family Tree
House, 1998; and data on the descendants of the
Foster/Galloway descendants of the Butler's
should be attributed to Virginia Foster
Creel.

E-mail from
Virginia Foster Creel, January 7,
1999:
My
grandfather, William Alfred Foster, was
moved to Lake Toxaway Lakeside Cemetary
when Highway 441 was built through the
family farm cemetery in Rabun County.
Georgia. According to his Lakeside
tombstone, he died in 1927. Think the
highway was built in the 1940's. My
gmother, Cora Galloway died in 1948 and
is buried next to him at
Lakeside.

Notes for
BERTIE ELLA GALLOWAY:
My
grandmother, Bertie Ella Galloway, was
born February 01, 1903, in Transylvania
County, N. C. She lived in the area of
the Davidson River in what is now Pisgah
National Forest. (I have yet to discover
exactly where the site of the Galloway
home was.) Grandma was the seventh child
of 11 born to Rufus McKellan Galloway and
Susan Clerendy Butler Galloway. I know
very little about her early life due to
her reluctance to share much about
herself.
About 1920,
the family moved to Gastonia, N. C., for
jobs in the cotton mills. Shortly
thereafter, Grandma met my grandfather,
T. A. "Bill" Shepherd (1904-1983). They
married February 24, 1923, in York
County, S. C. Grandpa was working in the
mills when my grandmother gave birth to
her first child, my father, Carl B.
Sheppard.
Seven more
children were to follow (in all, six of
the eight survived infancy), born in
various places, due in part to the
difficulties of holding a job in the mill
and the fact that my father was involved
in the Loray Mill Strike in Gastonia.
About 1940, Grandpa bought a home in
Gastonia where Grandma was to live until
Grandpa's death in 1983. She was all her
life a housewife of a mill worker and
farmer. I remember her as a very quiet
person of little conversation but a sense
of wit that showed on
occasion.
My father
worked in Gastonia during his later
years, and everyday at lunchtime, he
would drive from his work to Grandma's
house for a couple of tomato sandwiches
that Grandma always had ready for
him.
After the
death of Grandpa, Grandma moved in with
my Aunt Marie in Gastonia and lived there
until her death on December 05, 1986. She
was buried beside her husband of 60 years
in Hollywood Cemetery in Gastonia, N.
C.
Grandma's
life had been very hard on her. I rarely
saw her smile. She was a small woman,
bent over from a life time of hard work
in the home and on the farm. She knew
only the life of those with few worldly
goods. Her small home was a two bedroom
affair with a den and a kitchen. She
learned while living with her
parents-in-law how to can fruits and
vegetables, and there was always a stock
of the best of the garden. The times I
did spend with her were special to me. It
was through her occasional stories that I
began a journey of falling in love with
the county of her birth.
