Butler Patrilineal Line

Jeremy Gaylord Butler (1954-) to Roger DeAlbini (1040-1084)

It's pretty clear that the first of my Butler ancestors on American soil were Nicholas and Joyce Butler and their son, John, who left England and arrived in Massachusetts in 1637. They soon settled on Martha's Vineyard, in Edgartown. 

But what about the Butlers before then? The Butler crest that Gwenyth Goar Butler embroidered is based on the coat of arms of an Irish royal family in County Kilkenny (the Dukes of Ormond), which rose and fell in the 16th and 17th centuries. 


But I've not been able to connect myself with the Irish Butlers. The best I can tell, and things do get dodgy as you get back into medieval times, I'm descended from the English Botelers: "The Botelers, lords of Warrington, were a long-established and influential Lancashire family who claimed to trace their ancestry back to the Norman Conquest." The quotation is from a fascinating history of Sir John Boteler (c.1328-1399/1400), of Warrington, Lancashire, who was a member of parliament and thus profiled here:

Butler was almost certainly derived from Boteler and, as you track the Boteler line back further you'll find, in the twelfth (!) century that it mutates into Pincerna, which makes sense once you realize that "pincerna" is Latin for "cupbearer" or "butler" (see Wiktionary)! 

The end of the English line, as far as I know now, is a Frenchman from Normandy named Roger DeAlbini (why he has an Italian name, I do not know). He lived from about 1040 to 1084! The chart below shows how I connect with him.

It's entirely possible that some of the Warrington Butlers split off in the early 1500s and made their way to Ireland, but those Irish Butlers would still not be direct ancestors of ours.
