"St. Thomas the Martyr Church, St. Thomas Parish, Bristol, England. The Pitt and Gibbs ancestors worshipped in this church. The tower dates from the 14th century and so would have been part of the building that they knew, but the rest of the church dates from the late 18th and 19th centuries. Robert Pitt was baptized here on 16 March 1605/06. He was the son of William Pitt, Mayor of Bristol in 1623, who was buried here 24 November 1624, as was his wife Mary in June 1634. William was the son of Thomas Pitt, merchant and Chamberlin of Bristol, who was buried here 06 March 1613. Mary was the daughter of William Gibbs, brewer, sheriff, and Chamberlain of Bristol, who was buried here 02 March 1602/03 next to his father, also named William Gibbs, who was buried here 07 October 1578."
