Notes:

From FindaGrave:

"Rev. Asa Butler was born in Wallingford, Connecticut, on the 13th of August, 1778, and in March, 1817, was licensed to preach in the Baptist church of his native town. In October of that year he moved to Worcester, New York, and in September, 1823, was called to ordination by the First Baptist church of that place. Mr. Butler was twice married---first to Orpha Hall, daughter of Hezekiah and Elizabeth, of Wallingford, Connecticut, on the 9th of October, 1805. She died August 26, 1824, and on the 29th of September, 1825, he wedded Betsey Lord, daughter of Marvin Lord, of Lyme, Connecticut. Eight children were born of the first union, of whom four reached adult age; of the latter, Rosander Hall Butler, father of Alfred E., was the eldest."
