Profiles Mentioned:

It is now stated here that William Aaron Butler is a half Brother to Edmund III and not the son of Edmund II and Mary Street. I would like to discuss who Edmund II fathered him with, to the best of all knowledge I have seen in 30 years, Edmund II did not have children outside of his marriage. it is true that James Butler and Mary Beckwith are reported to be his parents from the old Butler family bible, but this was set down by George Pollard Butler at a time where is "memory was failing". There is no record of James and Mary in any VA records that match, though there was a James and Mary who were married in the area at the time. That James and Mary went on to have many children none named William or Aaron.

So can anyone provide proof that William Aaron was the son of Edmund II with another woman besides Mary Street? I personally believe James and Edmund III were brothers. Please respond or send me an email.

Jeff Butler descendant of Geo. Pollard Butler.
