(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/goodspeedhist/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114<\/a>Like the Hunt and Vandolah families, the Butterfoss family was one of the earliest to settle in Hunterdon County. But where they came from or exactly when I cannot say. Butterfoss suggests a German name, but I have found nothing to confirm that. I hope there are some Butterfoss descendants out there who can help out.<\/p>\n As with all the other family trees, most of the people listed here lived in Hunterdon County for at least part of their lives. I have listed the children of women with the Butterfoss name, but not their grandchildren, as they belong in another family tree. Please add any corrections or additions to the comments section below.<\/p>\n (1) Andrew Butterfoss (1720 – 1759) & Anna Moore (1726 – 1790)<\/p>\n It is not known who Andrew Butterfoss\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s parents were or where they came from. Anna Moore is thought to have been English, but her parents are also unknown. Since their eldest child (as far as we know) was born in 1742, I have estimated Andrew\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s birth date as 1720. It is thought that he died in 1759 or 1760, although there was no estate recorded for him.<\/p>\n If the death date is correct, then Andrew Butterfoss was only about 39 years old when he died, leaving his wife with six children to raise. She married second William Horner (c.1720-c.1790) and had three more children by him.<\/p>\n |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Daniel Butterfoss Sr. (1742 – 1818) & Esther Hester Ent (1757 – 1846) |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Daniel Butterfoss Sr. & Esther Hester Ent2<\/a><\/sup> |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Elizabeth Butterfoss & Gerhardt Lehr |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Ann Butterfoss & Nathaniel McPherson |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Andrew Butterfoss & Rebecca Johnson3<\/a><\/sup> |\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020\u00ac\u2020 (2) Daniel Butterfoss Sr. & Esther Hester EntFirst Generation:<\/h4>\n
