Biographical synthesis

William Marriot (b. ca. 1628; d. ?). Shipwright.

Resident in 1659 in Poplar in the parish of Stepney.

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Thirty-one year old William Marriot deposed on February 16th 1659 in the High Court of Admiralty.[1] He was examined on an allegation in the case of "Whiting against Lewellin and Gunhill".[2]

William Marriot was questioned solely on the eleventh article of the allegation. He stated that he knew Moses Durant in 1654 and for the seven years prior to that date. He also knew his father, Robert Durant. Moses Durant was servant to his father in 1654 and for much of 1655, and William Marriot had worked with them. Four years ago Moses Durant had gone to sea in a ship whose master was a Captaine Harewood. Robert Durant had died in 1656, and Ann Durant, his relict had asked Marriot to depose in the Admiralty Court.[3]
