After I sent you the reply, I looked this family up further.Sarah Hildreth Butler was a Shakespearean actress prior to her marriage.Blanche Butler Ames was an artist and her daughter Blanche was also an artist who did political cartoons.She and her brother (name I can't remember) developed some sort of color system for artists.Both Blanche Butler Ames and Blanche Ames Ames (husband wan also an Ames) were active in the suffergist movement and in favor of birth control.There is some information of the daughter on the internet if you put in her name.I am related, distantly, to this Hildreth family.
