Married in St Magnus Martyr Church,London,England Early settler of Kent Island, Virginia.
According to edfre1 on 1 Dec 2008: One historical account of the Kent Island settlement feud/battle tells us that Thomas and Joan had five sons when he passed away in 1646 at the age of 44. The sons were: Thomas II, William, Christopher, John and Nathaniel. Under pressure from the Calverts the original holders of the land charter were driven out of Kent Island and Joan escaped with her young sons with the help of a friend, Edward Thompson, whom she later married. They settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia where the boys' last name "Boteler" became Butler.

The records of the Draper's Company of London give the following information; "Thomas Butler, Haberdasher, son of John Butler and Jane Elliott, of the Parish of Roxwell, Essex. Jane Elliott, daughter of Edward Elliott. Thomas Butler married 16, January 1625/6 at St. Magnus the Martyr London, Joan Mount Stephen the widow of Nicholas Mount Stephen, citizen of St. Martin Ludgate". (Will P. C.
