John Halsey Button (1783 - 1826): married Cynthia Clarke 1805 (Charles Bissell Button and approx. 9 others), son of Daniel Button, moved from Connecticut to Massachussets.

Daniel Button (1746 - 1790+?): married Elizabeth Button (common ancestors 4 generations previous) (John Halsey Button and approx. 3 others) 1777, son of Daniel Button Jr. or possibly Ebenezer Button, farmed in Connecticut.

Daniel Button Jr. (1724 - 1786?): married Elizabeth Palmetter (Daniel Button and approx. 9 others) 1744, son of Daniel Button and Anna Bell, worked as a cooper in Connecticut.

Daniel Button (1687 - 1730+): married Anna Bell (Daniel Jr. and approx. 6 others) 1716, son of Matthias Button II and Mary Neff, worked in Connecticut.

Matthias Button II (1657 or 1658 - 1725): married Mary Neff (Daniel Button and approx. 8 others) 1686?, son of Matthias Button and Ann Teagle or Tagall, moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut.

Matthias Button (1607? - 1673): married four times, third to Ann Teagle or Tagall (Matthias II and approx. 7 others, plus one from first wife Lettyce) in 1648 or 1649, son of Thomas Button of Harrold, Bedfordshire, England, Matthias traveled to America on the ship Abigail in 1628 and eventually settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts.


Thomas Button (15?? - 1617?): Evidence suggests that Thomas Button and family emigrated from England to Holland during the exodus of the Pilgrims between 1609 and 1620 before traveling to America. The cabin-boy on the Mayflower was named William Button, and he is the only person who died on the voyage in 1620. It is unknown whether William was related, but the odds are good. Thomas Button did have a son named William born in 1600, but he married in 1632 and had children.

Records of the Button family and name previous to Thomas Button are unreliable, and it seems to have been a common name in England in the early 1600s.
