Biography
William was the third son of Roger Butt, (from the will of Roger Butt of Crocker's Cove[1]), and was born between the 1676 and 1677 censuses[2].
Notes
From "Newfoundland Family Histories:[3]
- It is also my guess that the Butts, Kings and Knights have some early close associations. I have many King/Butt marriages but not many Knight/King or Butt/Knight marragies for the Black Head, Broad Cove families.
- The first Butt and King to arrive in this area were William Butt and Willam King. Both were recorded by the Fishing Admiral as being in Broad Cove in 1750 (K Matthews Files). I believe they came “down the shore” from Carbonear. Willam Butt may have had at least 3 children: William, Thomas (my ancester) and George. This is based on scant evidence."
We know from Roger Butt's will that he had a son William. This might be that William.
