bio in progress

In an inventory of land holdings in Weymouth in the early 1640s, the following is given for William:

Ten acres in the Ester neck first granted to him bounded with James Ludines land on tile East of Nicholas Phillipes on the west a Swampe an the north and a hieway on the south

three acres of Salt-marsh lyinge neare the mill bounded with the land of Joseph Torrey on the north the mill on the south the mill lot on the west Five Acres of Upland at london Berge bounded on the East with the Sea the land of Mr Torrie oil tile west of mr Waltham on the north and the Round marsh on the south

2 February 1651/2, William is on a list of proprietors who were granted a "great lot" to be laid out east of the Fresh Pond. 1:199 An accounting of land owned in the First Division on the west side of town abutting the Town of Braintree, was made on 14 December 1663. William had lot 38, containing 12 acres. 200 In the Second Division abutting Braintree he had lot 36, containing 36 acres. 201 The Massachusetts Bay Colony General Court ordered that the towns take oaths of allegiance to the King of England in late 1678. The towns made returns of their lists of men who did so into early 1679. Weymouth's list isn't dated, but William and his sons Joseph, Samuel and William, Jr. took the oath. 203

     Although no suffix is given in the record, he was likely the William who was elected a selectman in November of 1666. 2:516

children of William Pittee and an unidentified wife, possibly the Mary who later had Samuel and William:

*?John, b. 28 January 1638/9 (Surname probably a mistake in the Suffolk County court records. It isn't in the Weymouth town records)
*Joseph, b. 16 July 1639
*Mary, b. 13 January 1642/3
Child of William Pittee and Mary, probably as a second wife:

*Samuel, b. 12 August 1657 (the only record that says son of William and Mary. This is a Suffolk County record. The Weymouth town record, which was damaged when the extant transcriptions were made, suggests it was "Seth.")
*William, b. 12 May 1661
