To tho Editor of The Times Dispa tch:
Sir.-The genealogical notes In The
Times Dispatch OF March 60, 1917. state
that one William Butler. father of
Isaac Butler. came from Berwick. Scot
land. and settled I'm the colony of Vir-
Einin. 1t Is also stated that william
Butler was a son OF james Butler Duke
of Ormond. of Berwick, Scotland" and
in the same article. It Is also stated
that this Duke OF Ormond had II sis
ter. named Jane Anne Butler. who mar
ried Sir Alexander Spotswood, Colonial
Governor of Virginia.
Ii the old records of the Spotswood
family are examined. they will show
shat Governor Spotswood married. in
1924. Anne Butler Brayne. daughter Of
Richard Brayne. Esq, of Westminster
England" She received her middle
name OF Butler. as Il compliment to
James Butler, Duke OF Ormond. who
WAS her godfather at her christening.
There Is no claim made TO any rela-
is there any proof that there was blood
relationship.
With regard to the emigrant, Will
liam Butler. he could not have been
son of James Butler. Duke Of Ormond.
of Berwick. Scotland" For this duke
was not from Scotland. hut was 1.-THE
historian Hume says) n native OF Irn-
land. and was Lord Lieutenant Of that
island under Charles H.. Who raised
him from the rank of Earl OF Ormond
to that of duke. Was not Lord Ossory,
who died before his father. tho only
son of this Duke OF, Ocmord?
The ancestors of the Duke OF Or
