Family
Wittewrong was the third, but oldest surviving, son of Sir John Wittewronge, 2nd Baronet. His mother was Wittewronge's second wife, Martha Seabrook of Mark Lane, London. Wittewronge married Mary née White and left 3 sons and 4 daughters.

On his death he was succeeded as baronet by his eldest son John, who was later killed in a brawl in the Fleet Prison, but left Stantonbury in trust to provide for all his children plus his mistress and a further two illegitimate sons by her. It was eventually sold in 1727 to the Duchess of Marlborough.
