Grandson, Henry Day, stated that "he was a man of character and High influence in the town of Canterbury, owner of a large farm, and as justice of the peace, he was noted for his integrity and uprightness. He was a deacon of the church for twenty years before he died. At the age of 25 he served in the campaign of 1758 under Major Israel Putnam, French & Indian Wars. In 1767 an effort was made by the people of the western part of Canterbury to secure a division of the First Parish, that they might have gospel privileges for themselves. Among the petitioners were Josiah, Joseph & Sherebiah Butts. Two years later they were successful in this pursuit and Sherebiah Butts was employed as master-builder "who served so efficiently that the house was ready for occupation the following summer." Sherebiah became Ensign of the 2nd company of the 11th regiment of the colony of CT in May 1772; commissioned Lieutenant in Oct. 1773; Captain in March 1775. He was Captain of a company of Minute Men that was raised in May 1776 and also as Captain commanded the 2nd company during the Rev. War. In 1782, the bridge which his grandfather had built was in ruins. A petition was sent to the General Assembly for permission to raise money by lottery to rebuild it and was granted. With a goal of $1200, some of the most substantial and respected men of the town were put on the board of managers. Capt. Sherebiah Butts was one of three men who were commisssioned to take chare of the spending of the money and the building of the bridge. A stout bridge, supported by stone pillars was soon constructed. In 1787, Sherebiah was selected as a member of the committee for his school district. He was also found among the subscribers for a perpetual fund raised for preaching.
