Biography
The family of Pulteney had been established at Misterton since the early fourteenth century. Pulteney was provided with a seat at Wigan as soon as he came of age, through the influence of his future father-in-law, the acting chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. He died in 1617 leaving considerable property to his young son John, upon whose early death without issue, involving a division of the estates among his sisters, the family came to an end.
