Kathy Lea, I have this in my Annotated 1850 Braxton County Census for your George and Peninah. They were married in Pendleton County, now WV. Your ancestor Aaron Burr Butcher would have been born 3 years after this census. This census indicates George owned land. So you could go to the court house at Sutton and look for his name in the deed books. All indication is that he lived on Holly River or on the headwaters of Salt Lick Creek. My ancestor, Lewis Cutlip, adopted one of his grandsons, John W. Butcher. His dad John B. Butcher, who m. Agnes Fisher, died about 1862.=====96. BUTCHER, GEORGE W. (m) AGE 44 m. Mar. 11, 1830 (PC) Perninnah (Bennett) (f) 39 Didemah (f) 19 John (m) 16 m. Apr. 5, 1860 Agnes B. Fisher, d/o Samuel & Tabitha Nicholas (m) 13 James A. (m) 8 Mahala (f) 6 Sabina (Silena B.) (f) 4 d. Nov. 17, 1857 (BCDR) Matilda (f) 2 b. Dec. 14, 1849 d. July 12, 1883 m. Joseph Kniceley Occupation: farmer Value of real estate: $300===== The above Joseph Hiner Kniceley, who m. Matilda Butcher, was a brother to another one of my ancestors, Samuel Ervin Kniceley, who married Lyddia Jane Phillips. Their daughter Melvina Ellen m. Jacob Arbogast Bright. After Matilda died, Joseph m. Elizabeth Rhodes. There may be a connection to your Rhodes.

Kathy Lea, thought I might add some other info which might be a clue as to where George W. and Peninah Butcher are buried. The 1880 Braxton County census shows that Peninah Butcher, widow, was living with her daughter Matilda and son-in-law Joseph Kniceley. Since Matilda died just 3 or so years later, I expect she was buried near her father. I don’t know when Peninah died. But I do have this:
