Ellen was the daughter of an Earl in Ireland and once in Connecticut so impressed Gov. Winthrop "with her Sence and Learning" that he granted her and her husband rights to live on Fishers Island, New York. !Ancestral File No. for Ellen Butler AFN: J8BH-NM: Dates & place of birth & death, plus marriage & her lineage back to greatgrandfather Walter Butler. !BK: Burke's General Armory has much on Butlers back to Theobold Walter, Chief Butler of Ireland. Father may have been Duke or Earl of Ormonde, James Butler. [13]

Ellen, wife of Edmund Fanning (circa 1620 Ireland - Dec 1683 Stonington, CT). A great deal of research on the Fanning and Butler families of Ireland show that there were many connections. Ellen appeared in court records and land deeds from the time of the death of her husband Edmund Fanning through at least 1687 (County Court records of Norwich) and possibly died by Jan 1692/93 when the homestead farm where the family had lived was sold by sons James and Thomas. She was admitted to the Stonington First Congregational Church 2 Oct 1684.

Notes

Birth and death dates are estimates, see below for more information.

Her profile showing that name is completely unsourced, the profile of her husband indicates that "Butler" came from "Mrs. Ruba A. Orr's Ancestor Chart #836-53 in the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc" which does not appear to be publicly available and likely does not include any sourcing either.
