John Butson (of Devon) and Wesley Johnston (originally of Illinois, now of California) separately researched Butson family history over several decades and gathered many records. In 2011, we connected with each other and began combining what we had gathered and concluded.
This page presents the records found for St. Agnes, Cornwall.
It is important that the context and content of these records be properly interpreted. Please see the separate wep page on interpretation of the records.
