It may be of interest to those following the Lt. William
ancestry that his Y-Dna has been found. His haplotype is
R1a.
One can follow Lt. William's descendancy 10 generations
to Elmer Ellsworth Butler (the author of "Butlers and
Kinsfolk"). The book shows the author's relationship to
Lt. William.
Elmer's grand-son was tested and found to be haplotype R1a.
The Y-Dna is passed down virtually unchanged from father to son for 100's of years. Therefore Eric Butler's Y-Dna is the same as that of all his grand-fathers, including Lt. William.
Another author, Frank Osgood Butler, is also related
to Lt. William. His Butler male ancestry also bears the
same Y-Dna and R1a haplotype.
At the present time no one seems to know the names
of Lt. William's parents or if he came from England or
Ireland. Perhaps knowing his Y-Dna and R1a haplotype
will be a help to researchers.
