Walter Butler1,2
b. August 1767, d. 24 April 1833
Walter Butler was born in August 1767 in Province of New York.3,4,1,2 He married Eunice Greeley, daughter of Nathaniel Greeley and Lydia Cram, on 27 January 1801 in Weston, Windsor County, Vermont.5,6,1,3 Walter Butler died on 24 April 1833 in Girard Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, at age 65. Florence Fox Harrop listed his death place as Springboro, PA but the 1830 census and location of his grave point to Girard Township as the more likely location.3,4,7,1 He was buried in Daggett Cemetery, Fairview, Erie County, Pennsylvania, The Daggett Cemetery was just east of the Erie County Home and he was buried with his wife and children Esther and Myron. Philip Fox had stone reset in the 1940's. In 1976, the Jaycees took all the remaining headstones from the then deserted cemetery and placed them in a masonry platform. The stones of Walter and Eunice are present, but the ones for their children are not. The Erie County Home is now called Pleasant Ridge Manor and is on state route 20 just west of Fairview, PA.8,9
Walter probably settled in the Weston, VT area around 1795. He and his brother John were land speculators as evidenced by their names appearing as buyers or sellers on the deeds of 41 parcels of land in the area between 1795 and 1806.2 He appeared on the census of 1810 in Onondaga County, New York. The household consisted of 3 males under 10, 1 male 20-44, 2 females under 10 and 1 female 20-44.10 He appeared on the census of 1830 in Fairview, Erie County, Pennsylvania. The household included 1 male 5-10, 1 10-15, 1 15-20 and 1 60-70; 1 female under 5, 1 15-20, and 1 50-60.11 His will was proved/probated on 1 July 1833 Erie Co Wills 1823-1856 vol A-B, p. 45.
Compiler's note: Florence Fox Harrop worked very hard to link this Walter Butler who is the ancestor of our family to Lieutenant Walter Butler. Although she sent letters and documents to other family members about other possible lines, most of the material that remains in her collected papers shows both Walters with a couple of generations of question marks between them. This compiler has not been able to find any evidence that links the two families, other than the similarity in names, though evidence that links our Walter to any other family is also lacking.

Eunice Greeley1,2
b. 16 April 1777, d. 26 August 1847
Eunice Greeley was born on 16 April 1777 in Province of New Hampshire.3,4,1,5,2,6 She was the daughter of Nathaniel Greeley and Lydia Cram.3,1,2,6 Eunice Greeley married Walter Butler on 27 January 1801 in Weston, Windsor County, Vermont.7,2,8,4 Eunice Greeley died on 26 August 1847 in Spring Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, at age 70.4,2,5,6 She was buried in Daggett Cemetery, Fairview, Erie County, Pennsylvania, She was buried in old cemetery east of the Erie County Home with her husband and children Esther and Myron. Philip Fox had stone reset in the 1940's. In 1976, the Jaycees took all the remaining headstones from the then deserted cemetery and placed them in a masonry platform. The stones of Walter and Eunice are present, but the ones for their children are not. The Erie County Home is now called Pleasant Ridge Manor and is on state route 20 just west of Fairview, PA.9,10
The online birth record of Eunice Greeley as the daughter of Nathaniel and Lydia (Cram) Greeley ends a century of debate on her parentage. Florence Fox Harrop stated in a letter to her brother Philip Fox that she had a bible record to prove that Zaccheus was actually her father. Florence tried vainly for years to convince NSDAR that the published records for Eunice were wrong. A letter from S.M. Fox to Ethel Lillian Snow in 1932 speaks of Esther Butler remembering her father telling her that he was the first cousin of Horace Greeley. With this new evidence, it seems that both Florence and Simeon were incorrect. With this new information, Hiram Greeley Butler and Horace Greeley were 4th cousins but more importantly, friends.2,1

Horace Greeley1,2,3
b. 11 February 1811, d. 29 November 1872
Horace Greeley was born on 11 February 1811 in Amherst, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.1,2,3 He was the son of Zaccheus Greeley and Mary Woodburn.2,3 Horace Greeley married Mary Young Cheney on 5 July 1836 in Warrenton, Warren County, North Carolina.4,1 Horace Greeley died on 29 November 1872 in Pleasantville, Westchester County, New York, at age 61.1,2,3 He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York.
He and Mary Young Cheney appeared on the 1850 Federal census of New York, New York County, New York, enumerated 23 July 1850. His occupation was listed as "Editor of the Tribune."5 Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney appeared on the 1860 Federal census of New Castle, Westchester County, New York, enumerated 22 June 1860.6 Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney appeared on the 1870 Federal census of New Castle, Westchester County, New York, enumerated 22 July 1870.7
Horace Greeley was a feeble, sickly child and often under medical treatment.
Horace only received irregular schooling, which ended at the age of 14. When his parents moved to Pennsylvania, he stayed behind. He apprenticed to the editor of the Northern Spectator in East Pultney, Vt. He remained there until 1830, when he rejoined his family and found work temporarily in a newspaper office in Erie, Pennsylvania.
At the age of 20, Horace went to New York, arriving Aug 17, 1831. On March 22, 1834, his New Yorker was born, and in 1838, he was made the editor of the Jeffersonian. In 1840, Horace published another weekly, the Log Cabin. April 10, 1841, his long-cherished dream came true when the New York Tribune hit the streets.
As time went on, Horace took an increasingly active interest in politics. He championed a liberal Whiggism that emphasized protection, internal improvement, justice to the foreign-born, and opposition to the Mexican War and to slavery expansion. Horace Greeley was one of the founding fathers of the Republican Party in 1856.
On June 1, 1859 Horace was riding the Levenworth and Pike's Peak express stage on his way to Denver, Colorado to prepare a report on the Colorado Gold Rush, when the stagecoach mules were startled by Indians. The mules bolted down a steep grade with the stagecoach on its side. Though badly bruised, Horace sill arrived in Denver in time for the largest gold strike in Colorado. In 1870, Greeley, Colorado was named in honor of Horace Greeley by his agriculture editor, Nathan Meeker.
In 1872, Horace was nominated for the Presidency by the Liberal Republicans. Horace lost to President Grand in a landslide victory, and died shortly thereafter.4
