Peter Wittum

Next, we meet Thomas Wittum's son, Peter Wittum. We don't know much about him, as you'll soon see, but here is everything we know at this point. We'll be sure to add new information as it develops.

Peter Wittum
Born about 1595 in Steeple Parish, Essex, England.

On 7 Dec 1616 when Peter was 21, he married Mary Lufkin in St Clement Danes, Middlesex, England. (Recorded in the Bishop of London’s office.)

Mary Lufkin
Born about 1605 in Steeple Parish, Essex Co. England
Mary's father: John Lufkin (John Lufkin's occupation is listed as Baker.)

They had the following children:
Peter (~1627-~1697)
Thomas (~1630-)
Anne

Peter's occupation was listed as yeoman.
Mary's occupation at the time of their marriage was listed as spinster.

Stay tuned for the next post which will feature Peter and Mary's son, Peter. This is about to get really exciting!
