S:The Buttery Manuscript (c. 1784-1820, No. 479)
N:Original difficult to read, and Buttery seems to have inserted alternate
N:melody in many measures. Not reliable transcription. 
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
