So I posted a thread looking for tartan advice and also consulted witha family member who is big into geneology. She said I could be about 1/32 Scottish which would mean a 3 greats grandparent was Scottish. Here is specifically what I was told, cut and paste.
"Here's what I know, which may or may not be true so keep that in mind as you research. Butcher has three distinct meanings. Only one of these Butchers have a lay to a clan. There is the Butcher's of war which has a loose translation to hackers. There is the Butcher's of surgery. And there are the Butcher's of market. It is the Butcher's of war that have a clan. Ok, now here is where it gets tricky. Prince William Augustus was a Highlander known as the 'Butcher Cumberland' due to a battle at Culloden. Those following Prince William Augustus were forever known as Butcher. After the battle, Butcher is associated with Culloden which transforms to Cullen. Cullen belongs to the Gordon Clan. Hence Butcher belongs to the Gordon clan."

It makes sense to me that a name such as Butcher would be widespread since most cities would have a few butchers who would have their occupation become their surname. Most of the Butcher line as far as I know has come from England. Most of them settled in West Virginia and records, family and official are shakey from the 1800s and before and I havent found much of anything of the Butcher family outside of those that came to America, their parents and grandparents are very difficult to find.

Long story made short, does anyone have any info on this? Thank you, this forum is a very helpful one.
