Chauncey Butler's 2nd wife was Mary "Polly" Norcross who was the daughter of Daniel Norcross (1745–1825)and Thankful Sawyer Norcross (1747–1821).
On Jan 27, 1794, "Polly" married Asa (Ora) Butler at Templeton 1st Congregational Church.
"Polly" and Asa lived in Fairfield, Herkimer, New York in 1800. Asa and "Polly" had nine children, the first two, Joel and Mabel, named after Asa's parents died very young, but seven lived longer lives.
On Jan 16, 1811 Asa died at only just under 39 years old and was buried in Blackmer (Lairdsville) Cemetery in Westmoreland, Oneida co. NY.
Mary "Polly" married again almost two years later on Jan 12, 1813 to Asa's widowed brother, Chauncey (sometimes spelled Chancy) Butler. Then in 1816, they moved with other family members via Pittsburg, down the Ohio River by flatboat to Madison, Indiana and then to Jennings County the following spring. This was truly the frontier in those days and they lived in a log cabin which the men had built.
"Polly" had two more children with Chauncey [William Malcolm & Ira] and later they lived in Shelby county and Marion county.
In 1840 there was a Typhoid Fever outbreak in Marion county and sadly, both Mary and Chauncey died of this fever. Chauncey died on Feb 11, 1840 and Mary succumbed on Feb 26th. They are buried together in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana.∼Aged 64y 5m 15d; See Crown Hill page
