Glenda,
Your William and Delia/Delila are related to Benj Butler line (Rev War Soldier that died in Henderson Co TN) without a doubt...
How he fits in I still do not know, am working on it slow but sure. If you have anything about Delias' 2nd marriage please post it, I need to have as much info as possible.
I am working on the TN Butlers right now.
At least you know where he fits in, just not how he fits in!
Hated to toss all of this at you, but thought it best you have it in one place.
Crystal
P.S. I will be updating this database every 2 weeks with new info. Maybe something in it will fit with what you have?

NOTE: This family is related to Benjamin and Rachel Butler. Maybe the son of Benj and Rachel, Wm listed as having wife named, Mary A ___? Or an uncharted son of one of out Lincoln Co, TN Butlers?

Benjamin Butler, Rev War Soldier:
Benjamin resided in: Culpeper/Fauquier Co.Virginia,Laurens/Abbeville/Edgefield/SC; Pasquotank Co, NC; Perquimans Co NC; Davidson/Carroll/Henderson/Williamson Co, TN.
Has Rev. War Pension File: "Removed from Culpepper Co, VA about 2 years after Revolutionary War to Laurens District, SC for 1 year; then to Abbeville Dist, SC where he resided many years.
Went to Davidson Co, TN, then to Williamson Co, TN, then to Carroll Co.TN, then to Henderson Co, TN."
He is on the Abbeville, SC Census in 1800.
Made a deed in Laurens Dist, SC 1786.
Witnessed a Will for RWS. William Few Sr. in 1789 in Georgia.
Thanks To Regina Roper, for the above facts from the pension file.
The Rev War papers have been ordered, for Benjamin Butler, as of Oct 2004, I found out the National Archives combined 2 different Rev War Benj. Butlers in one folder, both having a wife named Elizabeth. I will have to order both to see a complete set.
