The last Leona Butler DIED 1982 NOT 1926 in NY as TBE says! Also, no FIRST Name for
McKay (first name in tree) as Leona L. Butler's Mother (Nora) here.
IT CANNOT BE THE SAME Leona L. Butler in Cherokee Roll based on death date conflict among other things.
It could be number 1, but this is not a person in a census in 1880, which she should be in if born in 1882, according to TBE aka James Oliver Johnson, III.
Notice the Submitters have 2 different husbands for Leona L. Butler: Butler or Martin
From rootsweb ancestry link we have: (sent by TBE):

Charlotte McKay Not Nora McKay.
Aaron Butler as likely spouse of Nora Butler. (Maiden name therefore Unknown, or Charlotte McKay as mother of Leona L. Butler? Leona is listed as 1/2 Cherokee.
There is NO Leona McKay in the 1880 Census found.
Finally, NO MARY WATTS found in Tahlequh, Cherokee, or Cherokee Nation, OKLAHOMA.
There IS a Leona Butler in the 1900 Census as a Daughter in Cherokee Census with:
William Butler 1/2 Black or white
Leona L. 1/2 Black or white
Emmet C. 1/2 Black or white
Charles C. 1/2 Black or white
The other info says that
Aaron Butler is the Husband. In this one she is the brother and sister of those listed above on one page and previous page daughter of
Aaron H. 1/4 Cherokee, b. Apr 1858 in I.T. Father was b. GA Mother b. GA
Nora S. 1/2 Cherokee, b. Oct 1857 in I.T., Father b. UNK (White), Mother b. GA
Married 28 years. Aaron Butler is a Farmer.
(There is no Elijah (Reverand Elowhie Butler as per TBE found, as father of Aaronbut may be found in GA? Need to do search.
However, the BIGGEST error is that Leona DID NOT DIE in NY! in 1926. (According to the IGI records above, if correct.)
There are many Leona L. Butler names at
www.labs.familysearch.org/ This Leona L. Butler cannot be TBE's great grandmother, wife of James Oliver Johnson I.
There is a L.L. Johnson, as daughter of a A. H. & L.M. Johnson, b. 1887 in NY at the labs link, and lived in Edinboro Borough, Erie PA in 1900. TBE says his Leona L. Butler, wife of James Oliver Johnson of Washington, PA and died Erie PA, died in Ny, NY in 1926...
Needs lots more research for Leona and the other names in TBE's Powerpoint "family tree".
