About Joseph Butler 

Joseph was born just six months after his grandmother, Jessie (Duffy) McArdle passed away.

Family legend has it that Joseph's mother, Rose Ann (McArdle) Butler wanted to leave Bisbee, where she was living with her husband and two daughters, and come home to Whitehaven, so she had her husband deported as he refused to go home. Perhaps deportation rules were different at the start of the 20th century?!

I suspect that Rose Ann wanted to go home to see her mother before she passed away. The big questions for me are: Was Joseph conceived in Bisbee, Arizona? Or did Rose Ann make it home before her mother passed away, meaning that Joseph was a Whitehaven baby through and through? Until I can find evidence of Rose Ann's passage home,these questions will remain unanswered.
