"Old Pulteney" Origins

[Iain.Laird@btinternet.com]

Further to my posting yesterday, Honourable Harry, the 
Colonel of Pulteney's at Culloden was perhaps a 
younger brother to William Pulteney,1st Earl of Bath, as 
the Earl had only one son, also William. I will see if I 
can find some more about this. Frances Pulteney, the 
wife of Sir William Johnstone Pulteney, who gave his 
name to Pulteneytown, the "new" town on the south 
bank of the Wick River, was niece to the Earl of Bath 
and inherited his estate of Bathwick.  Pulteney Bridge in 
Bath, England, and Pultneyville in New York State are 
also named after Sir William Johnstone Pulteney, 
Governor of the British Fisheries Society.
