== Research Notes ==
* '''It may be that the last two sons are one and the same person,''' and the name Robart is an error in the contemporaneous register entry (I have not seen the original register) or is a transcription error made in the 1895 transcription of E.A. Tillett (from which I have been working)
* A son Thomas was baptized at St Simon and St Jude on 8 Aug 1596, and buried on 31 Dec 1597, as "Thomas son of Thomas Pettus junr".
* Another son Thomas was baptized on 19 Feb 1598/9 (FreeReg). (No profile created as he could be one of the immigrant profiles).
* A son Theodore was baptized 18 Jul 1600.
