Born: 1641-00-00 Connecticut USA
Died: 1693-10-13 Middletown, Hartford Co, Connecticut USA
Marriages:
1. 1662-00-00 Samuel Roberts
Children of Catherine Butler and Samuel Roberts:
Notes:
also married 1673-10-08 Thomas Wetmore
--
Her parents might be John and Anne.
--
Her name is frequently given as Catherine Leete, but that is from her marriage record to Thomas Wetmore. Samuel Roberts was her first husband, so she must have second married an unknown Leete.

Roberts genforum message 14052 says:
(1) Barbour Collection (two entries in Middletown: (under Leete) "Catherine, m Thomas WETTMORE
Sr., Oct 8, 1673" and (under Wetmore)" Thomas Sr, m Catherine LEETE, Oct 8, 1673")
(2) Births, Marriages, etc. NEHGR 14:136 which states on page 136, "Thomas Wetmore, senr., m.
Catharine Leete(?), Oct 8. 1673" and
(3) Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700.WETMORE, Thomas ( -1681) & 3rd wife
Katherine LEETE/LEEKS/LOCKE/ROBERTS? (-1693); m. 8 Oct 1673;Middletown, CT
The real proof that Katherine was a Butler is found in the Will of William Pennoyer, Esq. 25 May 1670,
proved 13 Feb 1670. NEHGR Vol.45 pages 158-9. Page 159 states, in part:
"To Katherine Butler alias Roberts, sister to the aforesaid Evan Butler, five pounds to be paid to her own
hands."
--
I wonder if records for Evan would lead to more information about Catherine.
