Biography
"Thomas Butler (father of the family) was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, April 6, 1720, and was married there in 1742. Col. Richard Butler, Col. William Butler, and Capt. Thomas Butler were born in Ireland. The family then emigrated to Cumberland Valley, settling at Carlisle, Penna., where Lieutenant Percival Butler was born, as well as Lieut. Edward Butler, the youngest son.
Thomas Butler, the father, belonged to the Church of England, and was prominent in securing the building of the original (St. John's) Episcopal Church, which stood on the northeast corner of the public square at Carlisle. There is a petition on file, in the State Department at Harrisburg, signed by Robert Callender, George Croghan, Thomas Smallman, and Thomas Butler in 1765, "on behalf of the members of the Church of England in Cumberland County," representing that they had in part erected a church in Carlisle, but from the smallness of their number, and so forth, they were unable to finish it, and praying relief; which was granted by including the enterprise in the lottery Act of February 15 of that year.
F. P. Blair relates an anecdote of 1781, when the Indians became troublesome on the frontiers, derived from a letter belonging to an old Pennsylvania friend of the Butler parents, who brought it with him from Ireland. "While the five sons," says the epistle, "were absent from home in the service of the country, the old father took it into his head to go also. The neighbors remonstrated, but his wife said: 'Let him go; I can get along without him, and have something to feed the army in the bargain; and the country wants every man who can shoulder a musket.'" It was doubtless this extraordinary zeal of the family Gen. Washington had in mind, when at his own table, surrounded by a large party of officers, he gave as a toast, "The Butlers and their five sons." This anecdote rests upon the authority of Gen. Finley, of Cincinnati, who long survived his comrades in arms, and delighted to talk of their martial deeds. Gen. Lafayette, in a letter still extant in the possession of a lady connected by marriage with the Butlers, wrote: 'When I wished a thing well done, I ordered a Butler to do it.' "
