  • Notes: 

  • Some published sources claim that Samuel Butler, in addition to his wife Elizabeth Olmstead, married a sister of Elizabeth named Mary. There is no primary evidence that Elizabeth Olmstead had a sister named Mary, let alone one that survived into adulthood. Samuel Butler is believed to have only had one wife named Elizabeth that was the mother of all his children. (See T.A.G. 60 (1984), 27-32)
