Note: There are three Samuel Butlers all from the same general area of Connecticut at the same time. Records/sources and the WikiTree profiles have a habit of mixing the three of them up!
Samuel Butler son of Thomas ~1665-30 Dec 1711 married Mary Gilman
Samuel Butler son of Samuel 26 Nov 1665-10 Dec 1711 married Mary Kilbourne
Samuel Butler son of Nathaniel ~1666-1706 married Sarah Moses
b.26 Nov 1665 Haddam, Middlesex, Connecticut, USA[2][3][4]
Alternative Parents
F. Deacon Samuel Butler est 1641 - 1692
M. Elizabeth Olmstead est 1643 - 1681 m. abt 1664
Note: Parents need to be further researched and verified. Baraboo-1 20:41, 19 August 2016 (EDT)
Note: I had originally placed Samuel Butler who married Mary Gilman with the family of Thomas Butler and Sarah Stone. Hinman listed his father as Samuel Butler (p. 455). It appears more likely my original placement was in error as the Samuel Butler who married Mary Gilman had children in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Daughter Mary Butler of Samuel of Wethersfield married in Hartford.

My inclination is there are at least two people that have a comingling of records as there are many unsourced references to Samuel Butler 1665-1711 being son of different people and married to different people.
I'm not doing well finding good sources to resolve how many and lineage of Samuel Butlers in the Hartford/Wethersfield Connecticut area in the late 1600s. Right now WikiTree has
Torrey's Marriages Prior to 1700 say that Samuell Butler 1665-1711 was married to Mary Kilburn 1670-1752 in 1696. There is also another statement showing a Samuell Butler and Mary Gilman marrying in 1703/4 but no dates were given to either spouse. I now think that the death year 1752 assigned to Mary Kilburn was in error and it actually belongs to Mary Gilman who died in 1752.
Barbour records for Wetherfield - Samuel Butler (his death, & marriage to first wife Mary Kilburn /Kilbourne, and all his children's births. Plus 2nd wife Mary Gilman Butler's death in 1752. http://dunhamwilcox.net/barbour/wethersfield_barbour_b4.htm
Anyone have access to Descendants of Richard Butler of Hartford, Connecticut to know whether it clarifies?

I'm thinking we have duplicates, but again... no good sources to tie them together.
I know at least one left Wethersfield for Southold, NY.
