Richard? SPITTEY.
There were a number of Richard Spitty's that could
be the father, if indeed his father is named Richard, which is a possibility as
the use of Richard has been used by Spitty's since at least 1539. There are
three Richards who all died in 1633/4, one a Gent of Broomfield, and two from
South Fambridge, a yeoman and a carpenter. The latter two did not name any
children in their wills, the Broomfield Richard had a son Richard, who might be
the Richard of Gray's Inn who also named no children in his will (1642). However
the Sth Fambridge Richard and the Broomfield Richard named each other as cousins
in their wills of 1633. There is much work to be done to work out these
relationships and the parentage of this Richard.
Children were:
i. Richard
SPITTY.
ii. Mary SPITTY

Spouse of Edmund HOUSE / HAWSE. Mentioned in brother Richard's will, although
