Patrick, a descendant of Francis Pettitt contributed the following information:
Francis Pettitt, b1612
Francis Pettitt, b1636
Francis Pettitt, b1663
Captain Francis Pettitt could also have been a Captain in militia. I have seen literature that says Francis Jr fought in Indian wars in 1600's. Plus, Obedience Robbins (think he was also a Colonel) and Colonel Edmund Scarborough held ranks due to militia service.
