Nazgūl-king has just left Hobbiton.
Other then the reference in the Prologue, I don’t think there is any mention of Butterbur’s family, not even wife or children in the books.

That is true of much more prominent families than the Butturburs...and if they are mentioned it is often only a reference to their demise. I mean Galadriel and Celeborn are about the only couple that survive all the way through the LOTR - and they split up at the end.
