BUTTON of Alton Priors, Overton, Wilts. (related to LAMBE an

There is an account of the family of Lambe of Coulston, Wilts. which
consists of a tentative pedigree (1855) by Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bart., the
bibliophile and antiquarian. It is housed among papers at the Wiltshire
Archaeological and Natural History Society Library in Devizes, Wiltshire.

In it, I find that Aldhelm LAMBE, lord of the manor of Coulston, fl.
1524-1546 (source: Victoria History of the county of Wilts., sub East
Coulston), is said to have married a Miss Button. VCH says that she was Ruth
BUTTON, daughter of William BUTTON of Alton Priors. They had issue John
LAMBE, who married Edith ADLAM, and Praxeda LAMBE, who married John LONG,
Senior.

I wonder which William BUTTON was the father of Ruth wife of Aldhelm LAMBE,
and what the earlier BUTTON lineage was? I have tentatively got Anne CATER
as the likely mother of this Ruth BUTTON and therefore the wife of this
William BUTTON, but would be grateful to have this verified and further
sources pointed out. There was some BUTTON lineage discussion on this list a
few years ago, but it does not clarify these points.

Thank you.
