Early life and education

G. K. Butterfield was born and raised in the then segregated city of Wilson, North Carolina. Butterfield came from a prominent black family with a long history in North Carolina. Both of Butterfield's parents were mixed-race Americans.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His maternal grandfather, Rev Fred Davis, was a child of a former slave (Judah Davis) and a white man (Joe Davis).<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His mother, Addie, taught elementary school for 48 years in some of North Carolina's poorest communities. She was keenly focused on ensuring that her students learned to read.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Butterfield's father, Dr. G. K. Butterfield Sr., was an immigrant from Bermuda.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As a graduate of Meharry Medical College, he practiced dentistry for 50 years in the poor, segregated community of East Wilson. In the late 1940s, he helped found the Wilson Branch of the NAACP in order to register black voters in the county. In 1953, he became the first African American elected to the city council in Wilson and the first black elected official in eastern North Carolina since Reconstruction.<ref name=":1" />

In 1988, Butterfield was elected Resident Superior Court judge in judicial district 7BC. Beginning on January 1, 1989, and for the next 12 years, he presided over civil and criminal court in 46 North Carolina counties.<ref name="aboutGK" /> In February 2001, Governor Mike Easley appointed him to the North Carolina Supreme Court.<ref name="aboutGK" /> In 2002, Butterfield lost his seat on the Supreme Court, but he returned to the Superior Court bench by special appointment of Governor Easley.
