I'm interested in the family of Thomas BUTLER, b. 1720 Kilkenny Ireland and his wife Eleanor PARKER. Their five sons began what was to become a military dynasty, from the Rev. War to WWI. My step-son is descended from the youngest son, Edward b. 1762 PA, d. 1803 in TN. I would also like to learn more of the famous "queue" incident between Col. Thomas BUTLER and Brig. Gen. James Wilkinson, prior to Col. Butler's death in New Orleans, in 1805. R. Paul Adams, Baton Rouge, LA.
