John Whittey (alt. Whitty) (b. ca. 1621; d.?). Mariner and master of the ship the ''ffreeman'' of London.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Thirty-six year old Captaine John Whittey deposed on February 14th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation.

Whittey stated that he knew another ship, the ''William'', and that he had sailed with his own ship, the ''ffreeman'' from London to the James River in Virginia, in early 1655. There he saw the ship the ''William'' in April 1655. He also saw the ship the ''Seaven Sisters'' arrive in the James River in January 1655.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.561r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.561r]]</ref>

Further deponents testified in the High Court of Admiralty on behalf of John Whittey (alt. Whitty). These included thirty-one year old Robert Holding of Stepney, who was the quartermaster of the ''ffreeman''.<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.511r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.511r]]</ref>, forty-two year old Morgan Jones, who was a mariner and cooper of the ''ffreeman''<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.510v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.510v]]</ref>, and thirty-three year old Edward King of Limehouse, a mariner and boatswain of the ''ffreeman''<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.513v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.513v]]</ref>

In a separate case, a series of depositions were made by members of the ship the ''Mary'', carrying coals from Newcastle, which had fallen foul of the ''ffreeman'' (Master: John Whitty) in the river Thames. For example the deposition of Samuel Browne of Aldborough, Suffolk, who was the boatswain of the ''Mary'', made on November 24th 1654 in the case of "Robert Yaxley George Blowers, Arthur Blowers and companie owners of the shipp the ''Mary'' of Alborough against the shipp the freeman. John Whitty Master and her tackle and ffurniture and against Thomas delabarr and others"<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.29r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.29r]]</ref>
