Roderick R. Butler
Roderick Random Butler (April 9, 1827 – August 18, 1902) was an American politician who represented Tennessee's 1st district in the United States House of Representatives from 1867 to 1875, and again from 1887 to 1889. He also served several terms in the Tennessee state legislature, and briefly served as a state court judge. An opponent of secession, Butler represented Johnson County at the East Tennessee Convention in 1861, and afterward joined the Union Army.
==Early life==
Butler was born in Wytheville, Virginia, on April 9, 1827, the youngest son of George Butler.〔 His father died before Roderick was one year old.〔(Butler, Tennessee: Colonel Roderick Random Butler's Namesake ), WataugaLakeMagazine.com, September, 2007.〕 At age 13, he was bound out as an apprentice to John Haney of Newbern, Virginia, to learn the tailor's trade. After a six-year apprenticeship, he moved to Taylorsville, Tennessee (modern Mountain City) to work as a tailor.〔William S. Speer, "(Hon. Roderick Random Butler )," ''Sketches of Prominent Tennesseans'' (Genealogical Publishing Company, 2010; originally published 1888), pp. 50-52.〕
At the age of 21, Butler began reading law with Carter County attorney Carrick W. Nelson. He was admitted to the bar in 1853, and practiced in Johnson County and Carter County in partnership with Nelson until the outbreak of the Civil War.〔
At a young age, Butler aligned himself with the Whig Party.〔 He was appointed postmaster of Taylorsville by President Millard Fillmore, and was elected to a county judgeship in 1855. He was also a major of the First Battalion of the Tennessee Militia, having been elected to the rank around 1850.〔
