    Notes:

    Name:
    Deacon Richard Butler was in Cambridge as early as 1632, and one of the company of first settlers there. He was freeman in 1634 and one of the church. He probably came from Braintree, Essex County, England, where others at Cambridge were from, and he and his brother, William Butler, must have come to Hartford in company with Mr. Hooker, as they are soon after found in Hartford with many others from Cambridge. His ability, integrity, and high Christian character soon won him the confidence of his townsmen, and many positions of trust were bestowed upon him by the church, town, and colony. He was a juror in 1643-4-7-8, and townsman in 1644; a grand-juror in 1660-2; one of the deacons of the church, and from 1656 to 1660 a representative in the General Court of the colony. By his first wife he had Samuel and Nathaniel; and y his second wife, Elizabeth Bigelow whom he married before he came to Hartford, Joseph; David; Mary, our ancestress who married Sergeant Samuel Wright; Elizabeth, who married Mr. Olmsted, andHannah, who married Mr. Green. Thomas and John must have been born before he came to Hartford, for they were made freeman there - Thomas in 1656, and John in 1657. His wife survived him, dying September 11, 1691. He died August 6, 1684. His will was made in 1677, and his estate inventoried five hundred and sixty-four pounds. By his will, Thomas had the upper lot in long meadow; Samuel, all his meadow land inWethersfield meadow; Nathaniel, his meadow lot near long meadow gate; Joseph, his lands in south meadow; Daniel, his house, buildings, and land about them; Mary Wright, Elizabeth Olmstead and Hannah Green, each twenty shillings.
