The Birthplace of William Pitkin, by Roderick Bissell Jones, Ph.D., LL.B.
William Pitkin, bourn 1636, son of William Pitkin, Headmaster of the famous
Berkhamsted (Herts) Grammar School for Boys, established 1541, and grandson of
another William Pitkin, Gentleman, so-called in the 1619 royal charter of
Berkhamsted and therein named Burgess, came to Hartford Connecticut in 1659 and
two years later was appointed King's Attorney for the Colony. He was Deputy to
the Geneal Court or legisture, Treasurer of the Colony; Assistant, Commissioner
of the United Colonies representing Connecticut, etc. His son William Pitkin
was Chief Justice of Connecticut and his grandson William Pitkin was Royal
Govenor of Connecticut.
Martha, sister of William Pitkin, married Simon Wolcott of Windsor,
Connecticut, and their son, Major General Roger Wolcott, Governor of
Connecticut was followed by many others of similar and greater standing. See
Miss Talcott's account in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register
66:160 ff.
William Pitkin received the degree of M.A. from Oxford on 17 Oct 1631. By
Letters Patent dated 8 Aug 1636 he was appointed Headmaster of the Berkhamsted
Grammar School. During that year his eldest child, the son William who came to
America, was born, but his birth is not recorded in the parish of St. Peter. It
was not an oversight, as the baby's grandfather was Churchwarden there and had
been since 1610, and eight years later in the will included William with his
siblings, Martha, etc. William may have been baptized at his maternal
grandmother's in a nearby parish. The other children were all baptized in St.
Peter's, next to the Berkhamsted Grammar School, beginning with Roger in 1638.
The churchwardens accounts' of St. Peter's for the period 1584 to 1760 were for
many years lost, but the British Museum was finally able to locate and buy
them. Colonel A. L. Wilson, an "Old Boy" and now Governor of the Berkhamsted
School, has "translated" these accounts. He has for some time been preparing a
history of the school. Using data from his researches and from the
Churchwardens' Accounts and from the parish register, he was written The
Pitkins of Berkhamsted, Herts., in which they appear as the most prominent
family there in the 17th century.
Recently there was discovered in the debris of some old, condemned, Tudor
cottages belonging to the School, a painting of about 1750 on a mahogany plank,
showing the main school building, practically identical with the building as it
still stands today. Clearly visable is the Headmaster's House at the end.
Colonel Wilson had given the School a new Headmaster's House, called Wilson
House. He writes me: ". . .you will be interested to know that the building
was exactly like what is portrayed in the painting when your ancestor William
Pitkin lived there and Martha Pitkin (Later Mistress Wolcott) was born there.
The two-gabled portion on the right was the Headmaster's House until 1965".
