Another link to the Pett dynasty (following Glynn & Emilio’s excellent posts) is Pett’s Wood, now a small town in Kent, south east England and less than 10 miles from the Thames. Wikipedia notes ‘The name appeared first in 1577 as "the wood of the Pett family", who were shipbuilders and leased the wood as a source of timber. (A pub, The Sovereign of the Seas, is named after a ship built at Woolwich to a design by Phineas Pett.’
