Peter Butler was not the son of William Butler of Hartford who had no known children.

He mentions children of his sister West, and his sister Winter, "living in Old England," and gives "threo-skore pounds" to the Church of Hartford. Inventory £429. 3”

There is another William Butler, Sr. who is perhaps the origin of the false marriage citation. He’s problematic also as he’s currently geni married to sisters.

NOTE: Most on-line family trees assign a Stephen Butler and various women, very often Sarah Ann Edwards as William's parents. There is no evidence of William's (or his brother Richards's) parents. Siblings are known from William's will.[3]
