Buttery (Buttry) Pension For His Orphan Children


Soldier's name was William A Buttery of the 29th Illinois, Company G.  The pensioners were names as Margaret E. Buttery and James M. Buttery, the soldier's minor children.  The children lived in Roland [White County] Illinois.  Their mother, the former Sarah Jane McKenzie, married Mr. Buttery in Hamilton County, Illinois, on 14 August 1850.  Sarah Buttery died in White County on 20 November 1857.




The soldier died in January of 1862 at Mound City of Remittent fever.

My ancestress, Eleanor E. Roark, married 3rd, James V. McKenzie, who was the grandfather of the Buttry (Buttery) minor children.

Two Persons Named Abel Rice of White Co., Illinois

From Obituaries of White Co., Illinois and Other Areas of The World by Patricia Davis:

1881 March 29  Rev. Abel Rice, old Baptist minister, d. last Wed., burial Mound? City
There was an Abel Rice in White County, Illinois, who died on February 18, 1846.  Was Rev. Abel Rice a relative?  Perhaps the person who died in 1881 was living with Joel Rice in 1850.  An Abel Rice was enumerated in the 1820 census in White County, Illinois.  The older Abel Rice appears to be the younger Abel's uncle.
