Richard Butler, son and nephew of American Revolutionary war heroes, bought the Mississippi River plantation home and land from Mrs. d'Trepagnier.  Butler, who had served in the U.S. Army, named his new home, <I>Ormond Plantation,</I> after his ancestral home – the Castle Ormonde in Ireland.  On August 7, 1809, Butler sold a one-third share of <I>Ormond</I> to Captain Samuel McCutchon, a merchant and mariner from Pennsylvania.  On June 29, 1819, Richard Butler turned over all of his holdings to Samuel McCutchon, and moved to Bay St. Louis, where both Mr. and Mrs. Butler died from Yellow Fever in 1820, when Richard Butler was only forty-three.</div> <bR> <div> Captain Samuel McCutchon (1773 – 1840), a U.S. Naval officer, had been commissioned by President John Adams — and like many others who were attracted to the New Orleans venture following the Louisiana Purchase, he left Philadelphia for Louisiana. </div> <bR> <div> Samuel McCutchon’s wife was Rebecca Butler (April 20, 1782-June 23, 1844), daughter of Colonel William Butler (4th Penn Regiment American Revolution) & Jane Carmichael of Pittsburgh, PA.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Samuel & Rebecca's 9 children were: </B></div> <bR> <div>      Jane Butler McCutchon b.

McCutchon was apparently a partner in sugar production with his brother William Bainbridge McCutchon.  During the Civil War, Samuel served as a Lt. Colonel in the Louisiana Calvary.  At the end of the war, he emigrated to British Honduras and established a sugar plantation.  Some historians credit Samuel McCutchon for the successful introduction of plantation-scale sugar production to British Honduras, where he died at Belize, and thereafter, his wife, Adele, returned to Pass Christian, where she is buried.</div> <bR> <div>      Samuel B.
