He was born June 28, 1756. He enlisted in Maryland and served in the Maryland Militia. Several years after the Revolution he moved to Sullivan County, Tenn. His widow, Elizabeth Butler, maiden name not given, applied for a widow's pension which for some reason was not granted. Note:-Two revolutionary soldiers by the name of Zachariah Butler [text missing] drew pension in Tennessee. It is a coincidence that both their wives were named Elizabeth. One drew a widow's pension and one failed to obtain a pension. Additional Comments: From: SOME TENNESSEE HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION Compiled From Pension Statements PAMPHLET NO.
