Clyde, Long time since I chatted with you. according to the filed Chart on Ancestry.com, David(husband of Jane Loder)'s parents were Jacob Pettit and Jemima Williams.
Jacob was the son of William Pettit Jr. and Sarah Birdsall.
William Jr(1748) was the son of William Pettit (1725) who father was John(1702) and grandfather was Jonathan (1680), etc. there is more in their file. Dottie Julien

Re: Cumberland Co., NJ Pettits

Dorothy_julien — 2009-06-01 16:41:26Z

David and Jane were my GGreat Grandparents. My great Grand-father was Joseph Pettit ( b. 1829) who was the brother of James R. (twin)(b.1837). Does this match your info? I found their ancestors on ancestry.com. At that time, the contact person was Pat reagan at patreagan@hawaii.rr.com. She has some of Jane's family back to the 1600's. She has the Pettit line back into the 1600's, but not as complete as of 2001. I have an isolated copy of a signature of a Jonathan
Pettit as the passenger of some ship in 1680 but haven't connected the early generations of the pettit line. I'm at
dcjxyz@yahoo.com if I can help any further. Haven't been
actively seeking info for a few years, but now that I am retired hope to start up again. Dottie

My gr gr gr grandfather was James Pettit born ca 1794 in Winston or Winston Dole Suffolk, and died 23 Feb 1879 Friston, buried St. Mary's Parish Church, Friston. He married Susan Sexton (IGI index shows 31 Oct 1826 in Wherstead). They had 4 children James, Thomas, George & Mary Ann. The children all attended private school, and Susan does not show up on any Census. The last born child was born in 1831, and all children were baprized in Levington.

If anyone has any information on James, specifically who his parents were and what happened to his wife as I cannot find any records of her death.

Thanks

I am a descendent of Silas I. (as in Irving and not J. - the Census was wrong) Pettitt. I have a hand-written note indicating he had brothers Charles E. and Robert (no initial) but no other siblings were mentioned. Jacob Pettit and Hannah Johnston are included in the hand-written record. The note also indicates that Silas and his brothers added the extra 't' which has carried on since then.

Search for S.I. Pettitt in Mantorville, MN and Faribault, MN and you'll get some info. I'm in the process of gathering more information myself, so let me know if you want to learn more.

I have no information on Adeline. I have no information on Mary. Maybe they are the same person.

However, I have lots of information on this family, as Rebecca, is my grandmother.

Please provide me with some info on Adeline, and let me know what info you are lookinh for.

Thank you. Somehow I didn't have the 1910 Census record. I will add Adeline to my family. I remember my mother speaking about an aunt, sister of her mother, who died young. I believe my mother said her aunt was married and had a child. That fits your grandmother.

Annie Donovan, as well as her parents, and my grandmother Rebecca Pettit Dankenbrink, my grandmother's sister Gertrude Pettit, and about ten others are also buried in the same plot at Calvary Cemetery.

There are many descendents still living in the New York City area including my sister.
