Armstead Butler was born about 1760, in Culpeper County, Virginia, the son of William Butler and Mary (last name unknown).
Armstead married Mary "Polly" Wheatley on December 6, 1801, in Culpeper County. Polly Wheatley was born about 1782.
Armstead moved his family to Barren County, Kentucky about 1826. He appears on the 1826 and 1827 tax list for Barren County.
Jean Farkas, a descendant of Armstead Butler, says in her notes that it is possible Armstead moved to Missouri for a short time between about 1828 and 1830.
In 1830 Armstead purchased land on Piney Fork Tradewater in Livingston County, Kentucky, from Richard Cruce. Three years later he purchased land on Crooked Creek in Livingston County, which he sold to his son Gabriel in 1835.
Armstead died in 1837. His burial place is unknown.
(Note: Birth order of children not known).
