Valentine as the first to come to NH -- it was his
father, Valentine.
We have a typed copy of a land record
when Valentine bought a houselot in Winchester (now Hinsdale) 19 July 1749
-- recorded 23 June 1772.
Then his wife -- " Know all men by these presents
that I, Lois Willard Butler, of Hinsdale in the county of Cheshire, widow,
in consideration of the natural love and affection which I bear to my two
sons, Valentine Butler, Yeoman and Josiah Butler, Yeoman, both of Hinsdale,
in said county of Cheshire, have remissed, released and forever quit-claim
unto the said Valentine and Josiah and by these presents do remiss, release
and forever quit claim to the said Valentine and Josiah, their heirs and
assigns forever.
The following land being in their possession, by
my right of Dower and Power of Thirds, to all the land that my husband,
Valentine Butler died siezed (sic) of or that he claimed at the time of his
death in Hinsdale or Winchester in said county of Cheshire."
