It appears that this John came over in advance of his parents. He shows as a yeoman before William and Jane arrive. There would be no change in John woolcomber's status from what I can derive from reading hundreds of records.
Will date is 23 Aug 1712. This John Petty was either 105 at the time of his death or something else was going on.
The last entry for this John in the Deed Records in 1727/28.

"...A brickyard was established at Burlington at a very early date and the "Brick yard Road" is frequently mentioned in wills and deeds before 1720. We know that Walter Cock, either operated, or worked in a Burlington brickyard in 1725 and was probably succeeded by one William Petty who as administrator of the estate of John Petty, under his will of December 23, 1730, is described as a brickmaker..."
