Philip has previously been shown on Wikitree as a son of James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond, with no mother named. There is no good evidence for this.
A previous research note on James Butler's profile said that Philip "married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Cockayne, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by his wife Ida de Grey, and had issue. Ancestor of Barons Boteler of Brantfield". No source was given.
