Actually, Lee Butner was a son of Robert Butner who was the son of William Butner..
The line is like this on the Butner side...
William Butner...=...Julia Ann Jolley
.........Robert Butner...=...Sarah Widener
................Mollie Butner...b about 1872
................Riley Butner....b.about 1875
................James Butner..b.about 1880
................Lee Butner......b. about 1882
................Eula Butner.....b. about 1886
You will find that Butner can be Buttner and Widner can be Widener.Those that restrict themselves to an exact spelling of their surname aresure to miss important family information. Looks like you have been looking at your research [regarding surname spelling] most correctly!
Another researcher on the Butner/Buttner line is Sara Binkley Tarpley who shared most of the Butner information in an email to me in March of last year.

Lee Widner
