Wirt & Helen's marriage is also indexed on FTM's Illinois marriages.
The marriage of Wirt & Helen must have been of been a huge affair.Wirt was the son of William Butler, who was among other things one ofAbraham Lincoln's closest friends. William was also considered one ofmost wealthiest and influential men in the state of Illinois. Instead ofserving in the union army in the civil war, Wirt attended BrownUniversity and went on to receive his law degree from Harvard. Aftergraduation, Wirt managed to grab the attention of John McClernand.General McClernand having come back from the civil war and recoveringfrom a near fatal case of malaria, needed to rebuild his law practice.Wirt received the opportunity of a lifetime as he was hired on as ajunior partner in the McClernand practice. From there, Wirt met andmarried the Boss's oldest daughter, Helen Chase McClernand. Helen wasconsidered one of the prettiest girls in town and was not only thedaughter John McClernand, but also the granddaughter of Morgan Countypower broker, General James Dunlap. Dunlap was a very wealthy andinfluential man in his own right. Although from appearances, somethought the marriage of Wirt & Helen was one of connivance, rather thantrue love but this was not the case. In fact, the couple were madly inlove, and only separable by death. Shortly after the birth of their onlyson, William Joseph Butler, Helen contracted consumption, what we knownow as typhoid fever. She died at the tender age of 23, leaving amotherless child and a shattered husband. Wirt and Helen had less thanthree years together. Wirt went to have a successful law practice andpolitical career, but he never married again. Instead of looking for anew wife, he found comfort in alcohol and developed a bad drinkinghabit. Although he lived with his father for the majority of his life,his Aunt and his Grandfather McClernand raised young Willie. The medicalreport claims that Henry Wirt Butler died in 1915 of cirrhosis, but hisfamily and those who knew him said it was from a broken heart.

When Helen & Wirt gave birth to their only son, Willie, it waswondered why Helen had chosen the middle name of Joseph for her son. Theanswer lied within Helen's formal education, which would not be revealeduntil she was on her deathbed.
In the 1860's schooling for women, must less a college education wasconsidered unimportant and even discouraged. However, Helen's father,John McClernand did not go along with that line of thinking. In fact,he was a strong believer that all his children should receive the besteducation possible, including attending college. Boys of course couldeasily enroll at a college or university, but the girls, facing limitedoptions, were forced to attend catholic finishing schools in order tocomplete their higher education.
It was while attending finishing school that Helen converted toCatholicism. No one. including her father or husband ever knew of herfaith. It was not until she was in the last stages of consumption, whenHelen asked for her rosary beads, did truth came out. The McClernandscame from a very strict Baptist background in Jacksonville to a veryconservative Presbyterian congregation in Springfield. Fearful that thefamily would shun her, Helen was probably scared to disclose her truefaith. Her Catholicism was undoubtedly the seed for son's middle ofJoseph.

William Joseph Butler pursued his education in the Springfield school system and after graduating from Springfield High School attended State University of Illinois in Champaign. After he received his degree from what is now known as the University of Illinois, he began to study law in the firm of Connelly & Mather located in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. William wanted to attend a formal law-school at Harvard University in Boston Massachusetts, but his father Henry Wirt Butler refused to pay his tuition. Henry Wirt's theory being that his son could find a more than a suitable legal education at a college closer to home. Besides, he knew at his son was a "free sprit" and had already become a "ladies man." Keeping William at a local college in Illinois, would allow the his father and grandfather to look after him. As expected this did not sit well with the aspiring young man. Determined to get to Harvard one way or another, William scraped together all of the money he had and found a high stakes poker game upon which he managed to win his first year's tuition. After successfully completing his first year at Harvard, Henry Wirt paid for the rest of his formal education. After graduating, William moved back to Springfield, where he entered in practice with his grandfather, John A. McClernand, and remained there until 1894 when McClernand retired.
Taking an active part in politics, William gained prominence and influence in the ranks of the Republican Party. It also did not hurt William's political ambitions that his father and both of his grandfathers had held office on and off since the 1820's. Put simply, William J. Butler was bred and raised to become a political giant in the State of Illinois. In 1894, William was elected to the thirty-ninth district's house seat of the Illinois Legislature. Although high office eluded him, William remained an active force in state politics his entire life.

BIOGRAPHY: He m. 2nd, Thankful (Phelps) Moore, daughter of John and Thankful (Moore) Phelps, and widow of Andrew Moore. She was b. Simsbury, Ct., 11 Dec., 1742, and died in New Haven, Vt. See No. 1164.
BIOGRAPHY: Capt, Phelps was a farmer, first settled in Norfolk, Ct., about 1768. He was a great traveler for his time. Having consumption, he was advised to spend some time in a warmer climate. Late in the fall of 1774, he left Norfolk for New London, then one of the largest shipping ports in the colony. Here on the last day of Dec., the ship Receiver then received her clearing papers for New Orleans, and left for that port, Capt. Phelps taking passage with her. He arrived at New Orleans in due time, and going up the Mississippi River, located a plantation on the Big Black River, and returned home in the Fall of 1775. In the Spring of 1776, with his family he returned to the south to settle on his plantation, which he had located the previous year on the trip to New Orleans. He had a child born which he named Atlantic, who soon died. This trip was disastrous owing to the Revolutionary War which had changed the condition of affairs from what they were the year previous. On arriving at his plantation he found it occupied by other parties, from whom he could get no redress. His wife sickened and died. he lost his two surviving children, who were drowned in crossing the Mississippi River. He used up all his available means, was in the army two years, and returned to Harwington Ct., in the Fall of 1779, in broken health.

He published a book of his travels, printed in Bennington, Vt., in 1788, entitled, ''Capt. Matthew Phelps, from the Conn. to the Miss. River, from 1778-1780," now long since out of print.

Henry III came to the throne aged only 7 years old and immediately was placed under the tutelage of what should be recognized as a regency led by the old warrior, William Marshall. The first years of his reign saw the country brought back to his fealty until by 1220 most of the land and even Wales was peaceful. The death of the old Earl Marshall did not materially change the set up of Henry's government, and always a weak man he tended to appoint 'strong men' to run the country. Henry's inability to rule as his barons thought fit brought about sporadic rebellions against his ministers of which the outbreak of 1233-34 was one of the worst.
Towards the end of the 1250's this discontent was focused in the Marches of Wales where the Marchers had been having a hard time from the attentions of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. In 1258 at the Mad Parliament of Oxford, the barons led by the earls of Gloucester and Leicester commenced the reformation of the government which effectively shackled the absolute monarchy of Henry III and his predecessors with a more or less democratically elected council. This new design worked sporadically until 1263 when Henry, aided by barons who no longer wanted the burden of running the country thrust upon them, helped Henry 'regain his independence'.
Unfortunately this led to a bloody civil war known as the Barons' War which lasted until 1266 by which time Henry III had been effectively superseded in the running of the country by his eldest son and heir, the Lord Edward. Henry, wounded at the battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265, contentedly allowed Edward to install a regency government when he left the country in 1270 on crusade. Henry passed away peacefully in November 1272, leaving the government of the kingdom in the hands of the regency council until the return of Edward two years later.

Edward I, 1239-1307 (r.1272-1307), was the son and successor of HENRY III. He gained new claims to France through his marriage (1254) to Eleanor of Castile and was responsible for his father's victory in the Barons' War. As king, his conquest of Wales (1277-82) was followed by a long, futile campaign against Scotland (1290-1307). Edward's legal reforms, notably the statutes of Westminster, earned him the title English Justinian. He restricted private and church courts and controlled land grants to the church. His Model Parliament (1295) marked greater participation by the barons, merchants, and clergy whose resistance to war taxation had forced him to confirm previous charters (e.g., Magna Carta). (From www.encyclopedia.com)
This king had a nickname for practically every side of his personality. Edward was tall and nicknamed Longshanks for his long limbs. He was religious, but this king was also devious and called the Leopard. He was a strong fighter who launched invasions into both Scotland and Wales. Edward I was called the Hammer of the Scots, and also built several Welsh fortresses. Some historians call Edward the "father of the longbow", believing -- possibly mistakenly -- that he introduced this supposedly Welsh weapon to the English army.
Edward was a far different character from his father and soon put the country on a footing he preferred. In 1276-77 he brought Llywelyn ap Gruffydd to heel as well as putting the finances of the country back in order after the disasters of the previous reign. In 1282 he was surprised by a Welsh revolt and by the April of 1283 he had subjugated the whole of Wales, killing Llywelyn and capturing his brother Dafydd. Even this proved insufficient to totally overawe Wales and Edward faced further revolts in 1287 and 1295, though neither were as serious as the wars of 1277 and 1282.
With the conquest of Wales Edward began a massive castle building project that is still rightly seen as one of the wonders of the thirteenth century. Towards the end of his reign Edward became increasingly embroiled in bringing Scotland under his direct rule in a similar manner to that which he had achieved in Wales and this proved by and large to be his undoing.
The Welsh campaigns had made heavy drains on the Exchequer and Edward turned more and more to imposing unjust taxes on his peoples and antagonizing his baronage. The conquest of Scotland failed largely because of Edward's success in Wales, he had spent his money and this is why no military masterpieces like Caernarfon or Harlech are to be found in Scotland, where Edward had to content himself more with wooden peels like the one he built at Linlithgow. An increasingly beleaguered Edward, abandoned in some of his campaigns by some of his previously most loyal barons, died crossing the border into Scotland again in 1307.

[3153] Following the death of his father King Edgar and subsequent murder of his half-brother Edward the Martyr by servants of Ethelred's mother, Ethelred succeeded to the throne at about age ten. His nickname ‘the Unready’ derives from Old English unrÆd, meaning 'without counsel', 'ill-advised' or 'indecisive'. The majority of his reign (991–1016) was marked by a developing, defensive war against Danish invaders. Finally in 1013 English resistance collapsed and Sweyn conquered the country, forcing Ethelred into exile. Subsequently, Ethelred's control of England was already collapsing once again when he died at London on 23 April 1016. Ethelred was buried in St Paul's Cathedral and was succeeded by his son, Edmund Ironside.
