Notes

  • The birth date given for Ida on the 1900 census was April 1872.  But the birth date on her gravestone is 19 January 1872.

    1880 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 1 June, St Charles, District 2, page 2, Hse/Fam #12
    Knowlton, O  W M 32 Married Farmer AR Conn NC [born abt 1848]
    Knowlton, Dora  W F 32 Wife House Keeper AL VA AL [born abt 1848]
    Knowlton, Ida  W F 7 Dau At School AR AR AL

    The age reported in her marriage record would make it 1874.

    Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957
    Benjamin Butler, Age 20 (b abt 1871)

    I see that in 1900 the birthplace of Ida is reported as Alabama, both on her entry and those of her children.  But in 1910, on her entry, her birth state is shown as Arkansas, but on the children's entries, it is reported as Alabama.

    Alton here matches other information for Sam Perthshire Butler, born 4 March 1904, according to family genealogies.  Alton was named Alvin in the 1920 census.  Their son Knowlton was born on 12 April 1910, a few days late to be counted in this census.  They had another son named Clark born in 1912.

    In 1920 Charles Knowlton, Ida's brother, was enumerated on one side of JB and Ida.  Two houses away on the other side are Lee and Carrie Criswell and next door to them Thomas and Lyda Criswell.  In 1930, it appears the Butlers have moved, and are on Ethel and Chute Rd next door to Wiley Carew McSwain, with Manuel Criswell living on the other side of the McSwains.
