Wondering About the Two GAR Members Named Butler

In the last post about the Wright GAR Post 588 in Chillocothe, Ohio, there were two members of the 27th USCT with the last name of Butler.  One of them, Elbridge was post commander at the time.  The other was named Dabury O. Butler.  I've seen several first names for Dabury.  One was Dabney, another was Daybury.  I'm going with Dabney.

The 27th USCT took part in the capture of Fort Fisher on January 15, 1865.  Since this is a major interest to me during the Civil War, that is why I have been writing a lot about the regiment.

The 27th was raised in Ohio primarily.

Were these two related?
