== Biography ==
}'''William Pettus''' was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England in 1583, the son of [[Pettus-408|'''Thomas Pettus''']] and [[King-947|'''Cicely King''']]. He was baptised on 12 August 1583 at the church of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich, ."England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NRZJ-J3K : 11 February 2018, Willm. Pettus, 12 Aug 1583); citing , index based upon data collected by the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City; FHL microfilm 993,654.
William married the 23 year old Mary Gleane, daughter of Sir Peter Gleane on 21 December 1607 at her parish church of St Peter Mancroft, Norwich when he was 24 years old: Marriage register of St Peter Mancroft, Norwich, Norfolk, England [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-K9R5-G?i=70&cat=237017| Image on FamilySearch]
:Willm Pettus Singlem. of St Simon & Jude P'ishe [parish]
:Mary Gleane daught of Mr Peter Gleane Alderman By Licence
After their marriage, they lived in the Norwich parish of St Peters of Hungate (also known as [http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/norwichpeterhungate/norwichpeterhungate.htm St Peter Hungate]). This church of this parish is at the top end of Elm Hill which leads down to the the church of St Simon and St Jude at the bottom of the street. So William didn't move far from the Pettus family home.
William and Mary had the following children baptised at St Peter Hungate and this places them in the parish 1609-1613: Parish register of St Peter Hungate, Norwich, Norfolk, England. [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DT3Q-3D6?i=4&wc=4JDN-8MP%3A29967501%2C29358102%2C29998201&cc=1416598 All Four baptisms in this image]
#'''[[Pettus-437|Maud]]''' 23 August 1609
#'''[[Pettus-188|Thomas]]''' 18 December 1610#'''Ann''' 18 March 1611 [1612 in modern calendar]. Ann died in April 1621 aged 9 and was buried at St Simon and St Jude.
#'''Martha''' 15 August 1613
From 1614-1617, William and Mary were living in the parish of St Andrew, Norwich, where they had 3 sons baptised and buried Martha.
'''A son (possibly named Edward, may be Edmund''' - see the reference for the register image) was baptised at the church of St Andrew, Norwich on 30 December 1614: Baptism register of the church of St Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, England [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-293R-V?i=416 Image on Family Search]; E---- ye so'ne of Mr Will'm Petus was baptized ye 30th of December [1614]
A son '''John''' was baptised at the church of St Andrew, Norwich on 15 July 1616: Baptism register of the church of St Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, England [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-293R-Z?i=417 Image on Family Search]
:John ye son'e of Will'm Petus was baptized ye 15 of Julye [1616]
A son''' William''' was baptised at the church of St Andrew, Norwich on 26 September 1617: Baptism register of the church of St Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, England [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-293R-Z?i=417 Image on Family Search]
:Will'm ye sonn of Mr Wyllyam Pettus bapt. Sept 26 [1617]
'''Martha''' died at the age of 4 and was buried at St Andrew on 3 September 1617 (no father's name given) Burial register of the church of St Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, England [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-293L-J?i=452 Image on Family Search]
William's father [[Pettus-408|'''Thomas''']] wrote his Will in May 1620. In it, he left bequests to his grandchildren, William's children. He named the boys Thomas and John individually (the daughters were unnamed but more than one). Full transcript of the Will is [[Space:Will_of_Thomas_Pettus_of_Norwich_1620|here]].:Item I give to '''Thomas Pettus my Grandechilde the sonne of my sayd sonne William Pettus''' and to '''John Pettus the sonne of the sayd William Pettus''' ffive poundes a peece To be payd them at their severall ages of one and twenty yeares:Item I give to '''everie of the daughters of my sayd sonne William Pettus''' the some of ffourtye shillinge a peece To be payd them at theire severall ages of Eightene yeares or at the severall dayes of theire marriages w'ch shall firste happen
This Will indicates that the sons Edward/Edmund and William had already died before May 1620. Maud and Ann were still alive at this time (Ann died in 1621), but Martha had already died.
Mary died at the age of 46 in 1631, leaving William as a 47 year old widower. She was buried at the church of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich: Transcription of the parish registers of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich, Norfolk, England made by E.A. Tillett in 1895 [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-D542?i=301&cat=309592| Image on FamilySearch]:"Mris Pettus ye wyfe of Mr Willm Pettus was buried ye 28 daie of Julye in Ano dni 1631"
William did not remarry.
The '''Will of Mary's father, Sir Peter Gleane from 1633''', contains the following extract which indicates that Mary had died before he wrote his will. It mentioned '''William Pettus, William's son in law Mr Sherwood and his wife''' ('''Livewell Sherwood''' who married '''Maud''' Pettus), and two children '''Thomas and John Sherwood'''.
The Sherwoods did not have any sons born to them by 1833, and it is very probable that Thomas and John Sherwood are in fact William's sons Thomas and John Pettus.
"Item I give and bequeathe unto '''my Sonne in law William Pettus''' and to '''his Sonne in law Mr Sherwood''' five pounds
And to '''Mr Sherwoods wife''' five pounds
And to '''Thomas and John the Sonnes of the said Mr Sherwood''' five pounds apeece
to bee paid yearely by five pounds a yeare the first thereof to the said William Pettus the two next unto Mr Sherwood and his wife and th'other two unto the said two sonnes one yeare successively after another"
William Pettus died in December 1648, around the time of the end of the second English Civil War (Charles 1 would be executed in January 1648/9). He was buried at the church of St Simon & St Jude, Norwich on the 19 December. Transcription of the parish registers of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich, Norfolk, England made by E.A. Tillett in 1895 [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ9-D5CJ?i=307&cat=309592| Image on FamilySearch] "Find A Grave Index," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QL7R-J7BR : 16 March 2018), William Pettus, 1648; Burial, Norwich, City of Norwich, Norfolk, England, St Simon & St Jude Church Cemetery; citing record ID 177808535
==Research Notes==Although it is unlikely that a man of William's standing would have died intestate, I have yet to find a Will for him. A Will would be our Rosetta Stone for describing his family and whether any of them were overseas.
All of his children apart from Thomas need profiles.
