Misc. Notes
Checking the NEGHR CDs I found the following in Volume 68, page 149 to
explain the Butter/Butler confusion (there are no other references to
Butler/Butter):
It has been said that the maiden name of Agnes, the first wife of Henry
Sherman of Colchester and Dedham, whose will is dated 20, Jan. 1589/90
(Register, vol. 50, p. 281), was Butler. The will of Thomas Butter of
Dedham, co. Essex, clothier, dated 20 Aug. 1555 and proved 7 May 1556
(P.C.C., Ketchyn, 5), mentions his daughter Agnes Rolffe, makes a
bequest of a silver pot to Harry Sherman's wife, and appoints Henry
Sherman an executor. Possibly Agnes, the wife of henry Sherman, was
Agnes Butter, a sister or niece of the testator.
