| Notes |
- The immigrant was probably the same baptized at Poughill, co. Cornwell, England. He married first, probably in the early 1660s a wife whose name is unknown. The earliest record of William in Marblehead is dated June 1666 when William, aged about 25 years, deposed in a case involving a barrel that he had been asked to carry in his ship from Boston to Marblehead. The content of the barrel was believed to be powder, but when it was opened it was found to be currants. In another court case, in 1680 involving a windmill, William stated his age was about 40 years. On 26 August 1695 Ann Pote, as principal, with Joseph Swett as surety, was bound as administratrix of the estate of William Pote. Anna, as his relict, appealed to the Superior Court of Judicature held at Ipswich on 3 May 1696 for authorization to sell as much of William's real estate as necessary to satisfy his debts. The court gave her this authorization and she sold a parcel of land in Marblehead to Captain John Legg. Anne died apparently before she completed administration of the estate, for another estate proceeding of the same William Pote appears, dated 1713. The normal procedure when an estate administrator does not for some reason finish the administration is that an administrator de bonis non is appointed to complete the task; however, in this case a new estate record was created with William Pote, elder son of William Pote, as administrator. The same old house in Marblehead appears in the inventory of each estate, but the inventory of the second estate is shorter than that of the earlier estate.
