FW: BUTTON of Alton Priors, Overton, Wilts. (related to LAMB

Legg inn av Richard » 21 feb 2005 23:31:01

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.
