Thomas Pitt was the Chamberlain of Bristol and a merchant. His will was written May 1, 1613, and probated August 5, 1613. His son William was named executor and was given a lease for life of a tenement outside the Temple Gate in the City of Bristol. The said tenement was in the possession of George Tyce who had an inn called the Saracen’s Head. William also inherited another tenement outside the Temple Gate that was occupied by Thomas Arther, esq.
When William's son, Robert reached the age of 22 years, he was to be paid ten pounds yearly by Thomas Arther. At William's death his son Robert was to inherit the two tenements. William was also to give his two sons Robert and William ten pounds each when they reached sixteen years of age.
