John Butler m.Katherine Houghton Ireland
I'm looking for information of the parentage and ancestors of John Butler (b. 1643, Ireland) who married Katherine Houghton (b. 1652, Ireland). Katherine's father was Richard Houghton.
One of their children was Lieut. Walter Butler (b. 1670, Ireland) of the British Army, who was sent over to North America to help Britain defeat the French in Canada. He arrived in Connecticut in 1711 and married Mary Harris, followed by Deborah Ely. One of their children was Col. John Butler, of Butler's Rangers.
I would love to hear from anyone who can help me to trace back from John Butler and Katherine Houghton.
