• Notes

  George and Lucy came to Dallas in 1867 [BUTLER~1.FBK] In the 1850's George and Lucy moved and several of their children moved to Texas. They lived in the Farmers Branch-Richardson area. Both George and Lucy are buried at Mt. Calvary Cemetery near Richardson, Texas. In 1841 George, a Baptist Preacher was one of the founders of the Shady Grove Baptist Church in Franklin Kentucky. The Butler family moved to Barren County Kentucky from Virginia before 1810 and by 1820 they had moved to the Simpson County area. They lived in Franklin which is on the Kentucky and Tennessee border, just north of Nashville. George and his 2 sons and other Richardson County pioneers founded Mt. Calvary Church now First Baptist Church in Richardson, Texas. Records reveal they also preached in the Rose Hill or Housley area near Garland, Texas. Union Baptist Church (now Highland Baptist Church in Carrolton, Texas) and many other places in Collin, Dallas, Ellis, and Tarrant Counties after coming to Texas.
