Thomas, b. MD to NC, ca late 1700s.
I am not researching these people, just entering information.From the book Davie County Heritage is the following:
"Thomas Buttner was born in Maryland and migrated to Hope, NC.He married Sarah Elrod.Among his children was a son Adam, who moved to Salem.Adam married a Hege.To this union was born a son, Augustus Benjamin (great grandfather of the woman who submitted this article) 'Gus,' who married Martha Ann Elizabeth Hall in 1865 from now Davie County and settled here in Davie since Martha Ann Elizabeth was allergic to the water in Salem.Gus brought the Moravian faith to the eastern side of the county, giving land and logs to help in building the church.His son, Walter Leon (only child) born 1866 and died 1950. gave land for a parsonage at a later date."(There is a photograph of Walter and his family)
