Robert served on the Sussex County Grand Jury on 1 November 1709.222 Robert owned land on Swan Creek in Indian River Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware.223 On 20 August 1717, he had 136 acres of land surveyed on Swan Creek, and on 27 February 1717/8, he had another 97 acres of land surveyed on Swan Creek.224 Robert made his will on 13 July 1720/21 and it was probated on 1 August 1721.225 In his will, he mentions his wife, Sarah Prettyman; son, William Prettyman; daughters, Sarah, Catherine, and Ann Prettyman; son-in-law Robert Lassey; and daughter-in-law Elizabeth.225 In this time period the common term for stepchildren was in-law. I therefore believe the son and daughter-in-law were the children of his wife, Sarah, by her marriage to John Lacey. John Lacey died before 1721. On 13 May 1728, Robert Lacey received his share of the estate of his father, John Lacey, from his mother, Sarah Prettyman.226 On 25 Feb 1729,

Elizabeth Lacey received her share of the estate of her father, John Lacey, from her mother, Sarah Prettyman.226 I believe the Robert Lassey named above was the Robert Lacey who deeded land to William Prettyman, Jr, son of Robert Prettyman, on 5 November 1729.227 Robert Burton in his will, made 16 September 1724 and probated on 16 October 1725, mentions his daughter, Sarah, and his grand child Robert Prettyman, son of Robert Prettyman.228 Robert Prettyman in his will did not mention a son Robert, and we assume that Robert was born after the death of his father. Sarah Burton Prettyman married third by 1731 Anderson Parker.

Thomas served on the Sussex County Grand Jury on 4 May 1710.271 Thomas purchased on 8 May 1719 200 acres of "Corn Burry" from his brother, William Prettyman.272 "Corn Burry" was in Indian River Hundred, Sussex County, on south side of Bark Creek (Herring Creek). On the same day John, father of Thomas, sold to his son, William the portion of "Tower Hill" south of Beaver Dam Branch (Prettyman Branch, Black Oak Gut or Black Hog Gut) on which Thomas had been living.273 John, the father, lived on the portion north of Beaver Dam Branch.273 Thomas made his will on 17 May 1719 and it was probated on 17 July 1719:274

In the Name of God Amen I Thomas Preteman Senr of the County of Sussex one of the Counties in Delaware Bay in the Teritories of Pennsylvania yeoman being sick and weak of body but of Sound and perfect mind and memory praise be therefore Given to Almighty God for the same do make my last will and Testment in manner and form Following:

The will was witnessed by Hugh Verdin, Elizabeth Walker and Anderson Parker.

It is clear to me that Comfort, wife of Thomas, was the daughter of Robert Burton and maybe Catherine Cotton. Herndon249 in his article on Robert Burton puts forth the idea that Comfort was the daughter of Robert’s second wife, Comfort Bagwell, by her first husband, Perry Leatherbury. Herndon developed this idea because Perry and Comfort Leatherbury had daughters named Comfort, Patience and Ann. He felt it was too much of a coincidence for a man with daughters named Comfort, Patience and Ann to marry a widow with daughters of those same names. In his will275 Robert Burton very clearly calls them his daughters, and this was at a time when stepdaughters would have been called daughter-in-laws. Herndon249 proves that Robert Burton followed that custom when he mentions that in Accomack County records Robert petitioned the court for administration of his son-in-law, Perry Leatherbury. In Sussex County deeds276, Comfort Burton Prettyman refers to Robert Burton as her father, and Robert is referred to as grandfather to her children, Thomas and Elizabeth. In his will275, made 16 September 1724 and probated 16 Oct 1725, Robert Burton names his daughter Comfort Walker and her two children by her first husband, Thomas Prettyman. It would appear that one of the children of Thomas named in his will has died. From other records, it seems that Thomas, Jr and Elizabeth are still living, so it must have been Robert that has died. Later Elizabeth, as Elizabeth Coulter, petitioned the Sussex County Orphans Court on 17 June 1763 for division of land owned by her brother, Robert Prettyman.277 In the petition, it is stated that Robert Prettyman died intestate and in his minority and at time of his death owned 112 acres of land in Indian River Hundred. Comfort Burton Prettyman married second Thomas Walker276, and she married third Rees Wolf.

In 1699, as John Prittiman Junor he served on the jury in Sussex County, Delaware.139 He performed other civic duties such as jury duty in 1702/3;140 and as Constable for the other part of Rehoboth from bounds of Indian River and all the West side of Loves Creek to Orrs Mills;141 jury 1707/8 and 1725;142 grand jury 1708/9, 1709, 1722 and 1729;143 tax assessor in1725;144 with Woodman Stockley, one of the fence viewers for Indian River Hundred in 1729;144 in 1728 as overseer of highways for Indian River District;144 and in 1729 with Woodman Stockley as overseer of the poor for Indian River District;144 John’s ability was recognized by his peers and he became a member of the power structure by 1733, as by 1733 he was one of the Justices of the Sussex County Courts with William Till, Jacob Kollock, Anderson Parker, Robert Smith, David Smith, John May, Abraham Wynkoop and Jeremiah Claypoole.145 As Justices they had the title of Esquire. Justices served on Orphans Court, Court of Common Pleas, Inferior Court of Equity and Court of Quarter Sessions. John served as a Justice from at least 5 February 1733/4 to 7 November 1740.145 As a Justice, he testified in 1739 in the Maryland and Pennsylvania boundary dispute.128 He testified that he was aged 62 and that his father had moved from Virginia 43 years ago [1696].

In 1701, he purchased from his father the 250 acres of "Hook Norton". On 20 March 1715/6, John had 250 acres of land surveyed on the west side of where he lived.146 This land was called "Strife" and began at his White Oak corner, and bordered Fishing Branch and 1100 acres of Robert Burton. As John Prettyman of Susex County, Gentleman, he purchased 200 acres of land from James Walker.147 This land was on the west side of Loves Creek in Angola Neck of Sussex County. The land had formerly been owned by William Futcher. John Prettyman, Simon Kollock and Cord Hazzard had surveyed 800 acres of land on the west side of 1100 acres of Robert Burton on 30 April 1740.148 This land was called "Partnership", and was on the head of Swan Creek adjoining James Davidson, John Holmes, "Shootton Hill", William Prettyman, Robert Burton and George Day.

On 21 April 1745, John Prettyman made his will and it was probated 20 May 1745.

In the name of God Amen The Twenty first day of April in the year of Our Lord 1745 John Prettyman of Indian River Hundred in the county of Sussex man being very sick and weak in Body buit in perfect mind and memory Thanks be Given to God Therefore calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to dy do make and ordain This my last will and Testment and including such Worldly estate ___ ___th it hath pleased God to bless me in this life I give and Bequeth and dispose of the same in the following manner and form-

A researcher alway looks for and hopes his ancestor has a will. An ancestor does not have to name all of his children in his will and this can cause problems for the researcher. This is the case of John Prettyman. If we only looked at his will, we would miss his descendants. By looking for other documents we get a clearer picture of John Prettyman’s family. John Futcher made his will on 2 February 1720 in Sussex County which was probated on 1 May 1721.150 He named his wife, Mary; son, William Futcher; cousins Mary Whitehead, Elizabeth Foster, James Asken; Tabitha and Sarah Walker, the daughters of John Walker. He named as his executors his wife, Mary Futcher, and his father-in-law, John Prettyman. John Prettyman being named as one of the executors led one researcher to think Mary was the daughter of John II, and therefore her own Aunt.151 The William Futcher named in this will made his own will on 1 April 1754 and it was probated on 15 April 1754.152 In his will, William names his wife, Mary Futcher; son John Futcher; Uncle Thomas Prettyman, and cousins, Oliver Stockley and Prettyman Stockley. He named as his executor his Uncle Thomas Prettyman. Thomas, son of John II, died before his father, and therefore could not be alive to be the executor of his nephew’s will in 1754. Thomas Prettyman, Esquire, made his will in 1762.153 "I give and bequeath unto John Futcher son of William Futcher late of said County Deceased all my lands…after my wife Comfort Prettyman decease."153 "I give him Eight Negroes Seven of them to be delivered to him Soon after my decease to wit, Betty Jane and Peter and James Devinder and Boeasner and Harry and Settle to be Injoyed by him after his mother Mary Russells decease."153 He gave to Sarah Dobson one Negro girl called Lydia. He gave his wife, Comfort Prettyman, ten Negroes; Neill, Robin, Jacob, Sarah, Judah, Anne, ____, Milford, Wamoth and Cotto. A deed made on 7 August 1767 provides all of the missing answers to the children of John. The deed states that John Prettyman of Sussex County, Gentleman, made his will on 21 Apr 1746 disposing of his property to Thomas, his only son.154 It was the contention of Margaret Hills, Thomas Jones and Elizabeth his wife, and Solomon Stockley that John Prettyman only gave Thomas Prettyman a life estate in his property.154 Margaret and Elizabeth were daughters of John, and Solomon Stockley and John Futcher were the only surviving descendants of two other daughters.154 Solomon Stockley’s mother was the daughter of John, and John Futcher’s grandmother was a daughter of John.154 The Orphans Court records also make it clear that it was this John that was the executor of John Futcher.154 The date of birth of his children suggests that John was married more than one time. We have given this John the title John Esquire or John III.
