S:The Buttery Manuscript (c. 1784-1820, No. 512)
N:John Buttery (1784-1854) joined the 34th Regiment in Lincoln,
N:Lincolnshire, England, in 1797 and served as a fifer until discharged in
N:1814. His large ms. contains marches, duty calls, dance tunes and airs.
N:EASMES identifies this as the Fife MS. and suggests a date of 1780, see
