However, if so, and if he really was married to a daughter of Edward Thompson by Joan, widow of that Thomas Butler's father -- as claimed by Judge Edward F. Butler (citation details below) and shown here -- he would have been married to his half-aunt.Family/Spouse: (Unknown) Thompson. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
