==Early life and career==
Butler was born at Eagle's Crag near Greenville, South Carolina, to a large and prominent family of politicians and military men.〔Boyd, p. 67.〕 His grandfather was U.S. Congressman William Butler.〔 His mother, Jane Tweedy Perry of Rhode Island, was the sister of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew Calbraith Perry, for whom Matthew Calbraith Butler is named. His father, William Butler, Jr., was a Congressman beginning in 1841.〔Hess, p. 649.〕
His uncle Andrew Butler was a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and uncle Pierce Mason Butler was Governor of South Carolina.〔 One of Matthew Butler's first cousins was Congressman Preston Brooks, who assaulted Senator Charles Sumner in 1856 on the floor of the U.S. Senate with a cane. He said it was because Sumner had insulted Senator Andrew Butler, at whose home Matthew lived as a young man.〔Martin, p. 8.〕 Two of Butler's first cousins twice removed were James Bonham (killed at the Battle of the Alamo) and Confederate General Milledge Luke Bonham.〔Burton, pp. 66–67.〕
In 1848 Butler went with his father to Arkansas, but returned in 1851 to live with his uncle, who resided in Edgefield, South Carolina. He received his initial education in the city's Edgefield Academy, and then attended the South Carolina College, graduating in 1856. He studied law, was admitted to the state's bar association in 1857, and began practicing as a lawyer in Edgefield.〔Wakelyn, p. 119.〕 He was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1860, but resigned in 1861 when the American Civil War began.〔Martin, pp. 11–12.〕
