Robert Butler

Born in August 1784 in Surry County, Virginia, he came from a family with deep colonial ties. He studied at the College of William and Mary, earned a medical degree, and practiced medicine in Smithfield, building a career before turning more fully toward public life.

During the War of 1812, he served as Adjutant General of Virginia. Later, he became State Treasurer of Virginia, holding that office from 1846 until 1853.

He married twice and was closely connected to prominent Virginia families. He died on July 31, 1853, at age 68. I could confirm reliable biographical details about his public service and medical career, but I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked.
