Assistance on Deacon Richard Butler

Legg inn av butlergrt » 21 sep 2005 23:36:24

Good Afternoon All,
Once again I come asking help on locating someway or fashion the ancestors
of Deacon Richard Butler of Hartford Conn. About all I can tell you is
that he was born in England and died in 1684 Hartford,Conn. Many say he
was born in Braintree, Essex, but no proof, he had two wives, the oldest
two children Thomas and Mary are with her, allegedly a Bunbury and the
2nd, and the rest of his children with an Elizabeth Bigelow or Baguely. He
and his brother William came allegedly on the ship Hector 1632/33. He
owned a house and some land at Cambridge and later went with the Hooker
group to Hartford. His brothers' will sends money to a sister named West
in England and money to a 2nd sister married to a Winter in old England.
No first names. Richard is alleged to have been born anywhere from
1597-1612 and died in 1684 and his Brother William born from 1597-1608 and
died in 1648 at Wethersfield, Conn. While Richard is listed as living in
the later 1630's at Hartford he is listed as a witness to a will of a
friend in 1653 at Cambridge, Mass. Now unfortunately there is another
Richard Butler and he too has a brother William, this Richards oldest
daughter is also named Mary but 2nd and only other child is named Pheobe,
he too was at Hartford(at the same time) but went on to form the first
church at Fairfield I believe, and his brother William also died in 1648
at Hartford and was allegedly the one married to Eunice Coffin. Deacon
Richards brother died at Wethersfield a couple of miles south of Hartford.
It is possible that the two sets of brothers were related carrying names
after the old Celtic naming tradition, but then again not.
Deacon Richard is the ONLY block I have to obtaining my past, I know from
him down to myself and I know about the early Butlers(botelers,botiller
Etc.) till about the 1450"s after that not much success. Anyone out there
with all the intricate findings I read about on this site have a clue or
idea? Thanks much.
Best Regards,
Emmett
