History of Richmond County, New York, 1887
Butler Family
This was another of the royalist families which was here before and during the revolution. The earliest mention of the name in the church records is in 1732, when James and Sarah Carem had a son John, baptized March 26. In St. Andrew's records we find the following: Henry and Balaesha (Baletta) had a son James, born May 8, 1759 and a son Nathaniel, born March 23, 1768. Thomas and Mary had a son, James, born October 19, 1758, and a son Antony, born November 17, 1769. John and Rachel had a son Daniel, born October 29, 1758. John and Mary had a son Henry, baptized March 11, 1776. Thomas and Susan had a daughter Maria, baptized May 13, 1790. Thomas and Mary Herod married December 20, 1789. Daniel and Elizabeth Pray married December 29, 1807.
The family is at present in part represented by Mr. Talbot Butler, of Port Richmond, whose father was Thomas, and mother Eleanor Crocheron, daughter of Abraham. Thomas had several brothers - James, John, Elias and Henry, and they were the sons of John and Kingston his wife. Thomas was twice married, his second wife being a widow Blake, maiden name Wood.
