 William Petty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Petty was born in Romsey on the 26th of May 1623 to a family of middle income, his father being a Hampshire clothier, as was his grandfather.
Petty counted among his many scientific interests naval architecture: he had become convinced of the superiority of double-hulled boats, although they were not always successful; the Experiment reached Porto on 1664, but sank on the way back.
Petty thus carved a niche for himself as the first dedicated economic scientist, amidst the merchant-pamphleteers, such as Thomas Mun or Josiah Child, and philosopher-scientists occasionally discussing economics, such as Locke.

 William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, KG, PC (2 May 1737 7 May 1805), known as The Earl of Shelburne between 1761 and 1784, by which title he is generally known to history, was a British Whig statesman.
Lord Kerry had married Anne Petty, the daughter of Sir William Petty, Surveyor-General of Ireland, whose elder son had been created Baron Shelburne in 1688 and (on the elder son's death) whose younger son had been created Baron Shelburne in 1699 and Earl of Shelburne in 1719.
FitzMaurice spent his childhood "in the remotest parts of the south of Ireland," and, according to his own account, when he entered Christ Church, Oxford, in 1755, he had "both everything to learn and everything to unlearn".
