Notes:

!NOTES:From Ancestry.com tree of Christina Butler 2023;

!NOTES:Maiden name Grant on Tombstone, though it's not an original stone, undoubtedly placed 50+ years after her death;

!NOTES:Two of her sons have D/C, but both list her maiden name as Wilson, which is either an error as that's her married name, or perhaps she was also a Wilson.
D/C of son Samuel gives her name as Janet Garner, but also has father as William Wilson, which is wrong;
