• Birth	22 Dec 1776	Sussex County, Virginia   [2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Residence	1840	Jefferson Township, Logan County, Ohio
  	There is a Sarah Butler listed in Jefferson Township, Logan County, OH. She is living with another female between the ages of 30 and 40 and two children (a boy and a girl) less than 5 years. This leads me to believe that Daniel was dead by 1840 and that Sarah had one of her daughters who, in turn, had two young children, all living with her.
  Residence	12 Oct 1850	Jefferson Township, Logan County, Ohio   [4]
  	The 1850 Census lists a Sarah Butler, age 75, living with David and Susanna Marmon. It is likely that this is Sarah Watkins Butler who died two years later.

  WATKINS - Migration of Some of the Children of James and Anne White Watkins of Sussex County, Virginia Historians report that migration in the early United States tended to be a family matter with families of multiple units migrating from one state to another in search of a better way of life. Land was often the attraction. Sometimes land was free; other times it was relatively inexpensive; and often times it had richer, more tillable soil.
