The surname is correctly spelled without the "a", i.e., Olmsted.
Elizabeth's brother, Joseph Olmsted, married Elizabeth Butler (sister to Daniel Butler)
Elizabeth's sister, Mabel Olmsted, married Daniel Butler (brother to Samuel Butler)
Birth
20 Nov 1642, Wethersfield, Hartford, CT, United States[3]
Death
17 Oct 1681, Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States[4][5][6]
Research Notes
Elizabeth is listed as Mary in New England Marriages Prior to 1700 By Clarence Almon Torrey, pg 127[7]
Butler, Samuel (1639-1692) and Mary [Olmstead] (1646-17 Oct 1681, Weathersfield), Haddam, CT; b. 1665; Hartford/Weathersfield
I believe Torry confused Elizabeth with an older sister, Mary, who was born and died in 1646. Of course, the family might have reused the name and she could be "Mary Elizabeth" but no other records have led to that conclusion.
