Matthias Button, of Haverhill - Possible Father

In the profile notes:

In his 1995 profiling of the immigrant, Robert Charles Anderson found no record of Mathias Button at New England prior to 1633. Anderson wrote further of the parentage claimed by the Nyes, saying[4]

"Such a baptism does exist, but there is no other evidence in support of this claim. Furthermore, since our Matthias is called at one point a "Dutchman," he presumably derived from a Germanic-speaking region on the Continent and not from England."

That would be this profile on Geni:

Thomas Button

Hope this helps.

Erica, Geni volunteer curator

On FamilySearch.org, they listed his father as Thomas Button. Could it be another Thomas Button than the already existing profile?

Not that I’m aware of.

In other words, it’s a valid Baptism record, and that Mattias has been identified as son of this Thomas Button

But Anderson’s Great Migration Project in 1995 examined it and determined this was not the Mattias who died in Haverhill.
