== Biography =='''Theodor Pettus''' was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England in 1600 to [[Pettus-156| '''Thomas Pettus''']] and his wife [[King-947| '''Cicely King''']]. He was baptised at the church of St Simon and St Jude, Norwich on 18 July 1600: 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-D5BK?i=157&cat=309592 Image on FamilySearch]:'''''Theodor the sonn of Thomas Pettus''' was Baptized the xviii of July 1600''
Theodor was born into a family of the wealthy merchant class of Norwich and he would have had a comfortable upbringing with an education befitting a young gentleman. His father was an alderman and would have had considerable influence over the affairs of the City.
Theodor was mentioned in his father's extensive will of 1620 in which he was given two bequests, one of land and the other of money when he attained the age of 24 years. As the thirteenth of seventeen children, the bequests were substantially smaller than those left to his elder siblings, but would have still kept him comfortable. Pockthorpe is a village outside the city walls of Norwich to the north eastern side. Will of William Pettus, Alderman of Norwich 1620, PROB 11:Will Registers 1599-1623, piece 136 Soame, Quire numbers 65-120 (1620) [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Will_of_Thomas_Pettus_of_Norwich_1620 Transcription]:''I give and devise unto '''Theodore Pettus my sonne''' and to his heirs and assignes all that my Messuage or Tenement late Huggons nowe in the occupa'con of [gap] Camforthe Baker and late in the occupa'con of William Exham Worsted Weaver or his assignes scituate and beinge in '''Pockthorpe in the County of the Cittie of Norwich''' w'th the yearde Gardens and appurten'nces To have and to houlde the same w'th th'app'rten'nces unto the sayd Theodore Pettus my sonne his heirs and assignes forever.''
:''Item I give and bequeathe unto the sayd''' Theodor Pettus my sonne''' the somme of one hundred poundes of Lawfull Englishe Monye To be payde him at his age of ffower and twenty yeares''
A Theodore Pettus of Norwich, gent, is recorded as arriving at James City, Virginia on the ''Bonny Bess'' on 12 Sep 1623, and duly taking the oaths of Supremacy and allegiance on arrival.Theodore Pettus in ''Minutes of the Council and General Court'', ed. McIlwaine (1924), p. [https://archive.org/details/minutesofcouncil00virg/page/6/ 6 Internet archive].
If this Theodor(e) Pettus is the son of William Pettus the alderman, then it is likely he had converted his land inheritance into cash, and persuaded his eldest brother William (executor of their father's will) to advance him the one hundred pounds slightly earlier as it would not have been due to be paid until 1624.
There are no further records of Theodor Pettus found in either England or the American colonies after September 1623. His place of death is unknown.
