Born by about 1603 (based on estimated date of marriage). Swineherd who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Planter" (on 11 April 1635, "Sara Pittnei," aged 22, and "2 children, Sara Pitnei," aged 7, and "Samuell Pitney," aged 1½," were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Planter). First settled in Ipswich; moved to Marshfield in 1643, Boston in 1652, & Marshfield by 1663. Died between 14 March 1663[/4] (date of will) and 21 March 1663[/4] (date of inventory).
Married by about 1628 Sarah _____. She died at Boston on 14 August 1658.
James Pitney was probably brother of MARGARET PITNEY {1635, Unknown}, who enrolled for passage to New England on the same ship with his wife and two eldest children.
In the group of passengers enrolled for passage on the Planter on 11 April 1635, the only person not obviously a member of the Pitney family was RACHEL DEANE {1635, Marshfield}. The concurrent residence at Marshfield of Rachel (______) (Deane) Biddle and the family of James Pitney may not be merely a coincidence.

Memorialized as one of the first settlers of Marshfield on cenotaph at Old Winslow Cemetery.
There is an article in the most recent issue of NEHGR regarding his English origins. See NEHGR 177:136ff
