    Eunice (Coffin), bapt. (Brixton) 22 Mar. 1617-18, under 12 in 1627, came to America with her brother where she married William Butler and died without issue. He died in Hartford in 1648, leaving his property to his brother Richard.

    The claim has been made repeatedly that William Butler married Eunice, sister of Tristram Coffin [Savage 1:322; NEHGR 24:150; Pillsbury Anc 2:604], but no evidence has been found for this claim. The Coffin family came to New England about 1642 and settled in Salisbury, by which time William Butler had resided in Hartford several years, so it is hard to see how they would even have met. If Eunice did marry someone named William Butler, he was almost certainly someone other than the subject of this sketch.
