From FindaGrave:

First Captain of the Plympton Military Company. Known as "William the surveyor,"

William Shurtleff is listed as a Leftant in "A List of Captain Warrens Company" by Thomas Morton, which compiles the men in the South Military Company in Plymouth under the command of Captain James Warren in 1699, copied from the original roll in the possession of C. H. Warren in 1858.

He was a very wealthy man for the time in which he lived, was a distinguished surveyor, owned land all over the colony, built the first wharf in Plymouth, erected the first warehouse and settled the dispute between Sandwich and Plymouth. His home was near the place where "Esquire Francis Shurtleff" died, although the site is now unknown, but is in the neighborhood called Quittacus on the farm of the late Jacob Holmes. Here his wife died and he buried her at North Carver (then Plympton) in the old graveyard formerly known by the name of Lakenham. The land for this burying-ground was given by Benoni Shaw.

William was the son of pilgrims William Shurtleff and Elizabeth Lettice, both originally from England.
