Another BUTSON to be heard from. I'm Jim, son of Otto, Grandson of John and Emmily (McConnell). Dad was adopted as an infant around 1898. He was born in N. Dak.USA birthname was Pelkington. John and Emmily (both born in Ontatrio) were homesteading in Sask. and are listed in the 1906 District of McKenzie census as well as a David Butson with his wife Hannah and daughter Effie.I wonder if they were brothers? John, Emmily and my mom and dad moved to Meaford about 1921.Mom and Dad married in Sask.1920. This is a great site. Hope to hear from some other Butsons
