| Visitation (1662) shows Peter & Mary as parents of Arthur who by Anne Butler was father of Arthur (b c1647) + 3 sons + 7 daughters. Provisionally we follow Berry who (appears to) insert an additional generation and/or attribute Anne Butler to the wrong generation. Other than to note that the following Arthur was living 1634, Berry does not provide dates. The dates shown below come from Visitation (1662) though with a little presumption as to which generation is relevant. | |||||||||||||||
