His father, Phineas Butler, came from Saybrook, Con necticut, where the Congregational Churches framed the Saybrook platform. His mother's people, the Fardees, came from Norfork, Connecticut.

There he died in 1811, leaving his wife Ann Pardee, (known for many years as grandmother Pardee) a widow, with nine sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Sarah Pardee, was there married in 1813, to Phineas Butler; and there my father, who was the second of seven children, was born, March 9, 1816.
