In a Rutherford Co. NC reference I find the following:

Marriage of: Butler, Othneal /// Doggett, Martha Anne Dec 21, 1824
George Doggett TF Birchett

Land grants: Butler, O. /// 37-38 448 1832 (Deed book, 37-38, pg. 448,
year, 1832)

Butler, Othneil /// (executor of will for) Doggett, Bushrod 1829 Rutherford

Butler, Martha /// d/o Doggett, Bushrod 1829 Rutherford (listed in will)

Hope this helps.
