Hannah Scarburgh

She was born Hannah Smith, daughter of Rev. Edmund Smith (Smythe), rector of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and Alice Barry.

She was widowed at least once before marrying Capt. Edmund Scarborough - when they wed, she was the widow of Ralph "Rodolph" Mercer. Whether there was another brief marriage to someone named Butler is uncertain. (The information at Findagrave.com is inaccurate.)

She was born a Smith, and any connection with Robert Butler or any other Butler is extremely speculative.
