Sir William Pulteney (25 March 1624 - 6 September 1691). Knighted 4 June 1660. MP for Westminster, February 1679 to March 1681 and then from January 1689 until his death. During the 1st Civil War he was a Capt. of foot until 1646. No note of what he was up to after that. Wealthy hereditary landowner in St. James’s. He also enjoyed connections among the City’s legal fraternity, continuing an involvement with his inn of court, the Inner Temple. Married 23 Apr. 1655, Grace, daughter of Sir John Corbet, 1st Bt., of Stoke, Shropshire, 4 sons, 2 daughters. For more information, see http://www.historyofparliamentonl…
(My guess is his knighthood was in thanks for financing past adventures.)
