Is "pioneer" the best term to use to disambiguate this guy? I'll save adjusting links to John Butler for a day or two, just in case someone moves it to a better title. -- Chuq 02:41, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Probably a better title would be John Butler (soldier). --Kevin Myers 20:54, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
Even better, John Butler (Loyalist), as was done with Walter Butler (Loyalist). --Kevin Myers 13:38, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
No, that introduces a British POV. Tory would be more neutral. Pollinator 17:35, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, I think the opposite may be true. For the American Revolutionaries, "Tory" was the word you used when you wanted to slander someone -- almost like the modern "fascist (epithet)". I wonder what the Butlers called themselves, if anything? --Kevin Myers 22:26, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
