Dear List:
Some BUTTON researchers in the U.S. are looking for a male BUTTON in Wales
who has traced his BUTTON ancestry back to the ancestors of Matthias
BUTTON
born 1607 in Harrold, Bedfordshire, England, and who would be willing to
have his DNA
tested. One of our group would pay for the DNA test.
We have the information that Thomas BUTTON, the father of Matthias BUTTON,
was buried June 27, 1617, Harrold, Bedfordshire, England. My information
for Matthias and Thomas came from the Bedford County Record Office so I am
confident of it. We also have the information that Thomas Button was born
1558/1575; I am not confident of that information.
Five BUTTONs in the U.S.who have already had their DNA tested are from our
Haplogroup R1a1 that is titled "Unknown Ancestors of Matthias.". The tests
show that these five BUTTONs have a common ancestor who are of the same
BUTTON family as Matthias and Thomas but predate them.
If we find any male BUTTON in Wales who knows who his ancestors were prior
to
1600 and can test his DNA, we will know whether, in fact, he is related to
Matthias and then we would know who Matthias's ancestors were. He may not
know
he is related to Matthias because he has lived in Wales all of his life.
The father of Thomas was Miles/Myles BUTTON, born about 1532, Worleton,
Glamorganshire, Wales, died 22 September 1597, Worlington, Suffolk,
England,
married Margaret Lewis 1557 Worleton, Wales, born about 1532,
Glamorganshire, Wales, died 1592.
The father of Miles was James BUTTON born about 1500 Worleton,
Glamorganshire, Wales, married Jane Verch Richard/Prichard, born about
1500,
Glamorganshire, Wales.
Possible father of James: Rodger BUTTON, born about 1475.
We are not interested in Sir Admiral Thomas BUTTON. We know we are not
related to him. I am aware that the descendants I have given above are the
same
ones that have been attributed to Sir Admiral Thomas BUTTON. We want to
know whether they are the ancestors of Matthias BUTTON.
Thank you for your attention.
