We have given this William the title William III. William purchased 50 acres of land on the east side of Swan Creek on 5 November 1729 from Robert Lacey.227 On 18 September 1739, John Hood, son of Adam Hood, was bound out to William Prettyman and his wife, Sarah.231 William, on 2 August 1757, sold land on Swan Creek to John Williams.232 The land was the 97 acres granted to his father, Robert, on 13 September 1718. William III has been an enigma to Prettyman researcher’s for many years. This is because William III has been confused with William Prettyman, whose will was probated in 1772. William III in his will, made on 5 April 1757 and probated on 13 September 1766, gives us an important clue as to his father. The clue is that one of the executors he named was his brother, Robert. By eliminating the other Robert’s we get a good idea of who was the father of William III. It appears that Robert, son of Thomas Prettyman, P35, was dead by 1725 as his grandfather, Robert Burton does not mention him in his will.228 Also Elizabeth Coulter, daughter of Thomas, petitioned the court in 1763 to sell land of her brother, Robert, who died as minor.233 We can also rule out William son of William Prettyman II, P32, because he died by 1739 as his father, William, was in court as administrator of his estate. Also Robert, P77, could not be the father of William III as Robert's son, William, died intestate and without children per Sussex deeds. Also Robert, son of William Prettyman died 1772 (P412) could not be the brother of William III because this Robert could not have been born until or after 1751. Robert’s, P338, mother, Elizabeth, did not marry William Prettyman, P412, until or after 1751 after as Woolsey Burton, first husband of Elizabeth, will was made in 1751 and probated on 8 May 1751 this date.236 I do not think a man would have named a six-year-old as one of the executors of his estate. On 17 Apr 1780, a Robert Prettyman and Margaret Houston obtained an estate administration bond for William Prettyman of Indian River Hundred, marriner. This is most likely William, P412.237 Also, we have no indication of the death of Robert Prettyman, P411, until 1792238, and we know he was alive on 18 Aug 1771 as he was in court on his brother, William’s estate.239 See also discussion of Robert Prettyman, P411. Also, Robert, P411, was appointed guardian in 1766 by the court of William III’s daughter, Magdelin Prettyman, under age of 14 years.240 This is also indication that the other children of William III were of legal age as there is no indication in Orphans Court records of a guardian being appointed for them. By the process of elimination, the only Robert available to be the brother of William III is Robert Prettyman who married Eleanor Craig. When you plot out the land that children of this Robert inherited, it is land his mother, Sarah, inherited from her father, Robert Burton. It was probably William III that received a 220 acre land grant on Swan Creek in 1748 called "Grubby".241 William III in his will named his wife, Sarah; son, Burton Prettyman and daughters, Sarah Prettyman, Magdalene Prettyman, Naomi Boyce and Margaret Houston. William III, in his will, gave to his son, Burton, the plantation I now live.242 Two times in the will William III stated; "all the remainer of my moveable Estate to be Equally divided amongst all my Children above mentioned." It appears from this language that William III had a child or children that were not mentioned in the will. If he had no other children, why did he use this language? It is obvious to me that the William (P412) had alredy been provided for by William III, and William III did not need to provide for him. William III appointed his wife, Sarah, and brother, Robert Prettyman, his executors.
