JMulligan — 2009-11-01 13:16:42Z

Dear Barbara,

Thanks for your reply. I'm checking to see if any of those names are familiar. There were at least 10 children in this family, 7 girls/3 boys. One boy was called as an adult, "Uncle R," another "Sonny." Do you know if your Petty family was always based in Brockway?

Will get back to you asap.

James PETTY and Mary RICE in Pennsylvania

JMulligan — 2009-11-01 13:16:05Z

I'm trying to reassemble a Pennsylvania branch of the PETTY family, who lived possibly near Allegheny County. So far, this is all I know: James PETTY was born in the later 1800's. He and his wife Mary RICE had many children. I don't know their birth order, but their names were: Gladys, Peggy, Myrtle, May, Dorothy, Ruth, Sonny, James, Jr., and Sadie, born 1911. There may have been one more boy. If anyone recognizes this family please let me know. Thanks.

Re: NY Petty family - Jesse Petty

sfbgen — 2009-10-30 19:21:27Z

According to the notes of Mary Fairchild Hoppe (Matie), Jesse Petty (father of Z.T by our accounts) was "called out for the war of 1812 but saw no service" .Also there is a 1812 star (or was) on his grave in the Chamberlain cemetery outside Belfast when I visited in 1978. I have yet to find really solid backup on this line and am submitting papers for DAR on another. I will keep researching it however. Most of the data is in the hands of descendants of Daisy Fairchild Eagleson. They had old photos, letters etc. Her daughter married Tal" Henson, a prof at Auburn.....

Re: NY Petty family - Jesse Petty

AlvieLeonDavidson — 2009-10-30 19:21:07Z

I found a Jesse Petty serving in the War of 1812 in NY. Could this be the same Jesse who lived in Allegany County, NY?

Re: NY Petty family - Zenas Petty

AlvieLeonDavidson — 2009-10-30 19:20:47Z

I am trying to find proof that Zenas Petty has a father named Jesse? Do you have any sort of proof such as a will or deed transfer?
There is a lot of information on the Petty board but no one offers any sort of documentation and that is critical when compiling a genealogical tree.
Thank you.

I did a little searching on ancestry.com and came up with the following form the 1880 Census.
Alfonso Petty B: apprx 1807 N.Y, M: Mellissa B: apprx 1815. NY. They had 2 sons, Floyd Petty b: 1857 N.Y, and William Samuel Petty, B: 1857 - ? in Brillion, Calumet, Wisconsin.
Search: http://search.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&r=an&dbid...

William Samuel B: 1857 in Wisconsin married Nancy J. Collins B: 1860-?. They had 1 child, William S. Petty B: 1882 in Arkansas.
Search: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/596628/person/-1896214359

William S. Petty B: 1882 married Cora "Nettie" Gibbons B: 1889-?, They had 2 children - Nable B:???, Elda Petty (1913-1992)(she married a Grottie) In 1910 they lived in Montague, texas and 1930 in Hardeman, Texas.

Look at this family tree, it spells out some of hte other names you mentioned:
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/596628/person/-2069998060

I hope this helps !! Now if I could just figure out if I am related to any of these Williams !! I have about a zillion of them in my ancestry. Unfortunately William Samuel from 1857 is from Wisconsin and I can't find a single relative from that state yet. Good Luck,

Re: Need Info for Harvy Petty and Lydia Cook, Missouri

mjp173 — 2009-09-29 11:19:55Z

Don't know if there is any connection or not at this time as we don't know Harvey or Lydia's parents either. Only know Harvey was born in KY. in 1825 and Lydia Cook in N.C. in 1828. They were married in Missouri, but have been looking for info on how they got there and who their parents were as well as what happened to them for a long time. Found them on 1860 census, but not on 1870. Where were Gerald and Beulah born and buried? If I find anything in my search that will help you, I will pass it on and appreciate your help as well.

Are you a son or daughter of Donald Dale or J.R. Herndon? Contact me for more information. Great Uncle Mickey (Mike) Petty.

I am getting more confused by the minute but I do have a Moses Petty born in Middlesex co, New Jersey. The page was with some that I have received from Petty relatives in Arizona. My Petty's started in New Jersey and went to Ohio and Ill. I visited your site an the perry. Co site and I come from the Joseph Sr. branch. It lists Moses father as David Sr. and his mother as Mary Buckerlew census record give his birth around 1788. I am new to all this, so all I can say is I can send you copies of these papers. I have written on them so their not very neat. I intend to get new pages an rewrite all this. Let me know what you think. My Joseph's father is Joseph Sr.

William Edward Petty of Kentucky

sandyratliff — 2009-10-30 19:16:12Z

'm looking for a William Eward Petty possibly from Louisville Kentucky. Also sisters, Lulubelle and Lulumae. Lulumae I think was marrid to a Hall and, Lulubelle was married to a Wieken in the middle 1940's and at that time lived in the Station Valley area of Ky. This I know is a fact because they are listed as sisters to William Edward Petty in his obit in 1945 .William Edward petty left kentucky to live in Northern Indiana in his mid 30's (not real sure of the year) . In his young man years he had his arm amputated in a factory near Louisville Ky, and or Ohio near the Ohio river. His time of death was in 1945. He was married to Laura Mae/Jones/Holmes/Dimickele/Petty after coming to Indiana, possibly Illinois then to Indiana.
If you have any information on this William Edward Petty. Please contact me at sratl1@attbi.com

I am descended from Anthony Petty b. 1595 in Hazlewood if that is of any help to you. According to my research there is some evidence that this family line originated in Cornwall about the time of William I, and likely were of Norman descent previously.

William Samuel Petty

FrancesRussell67 — 2009-10-21 19:21:51Z

I'm looking for the father of William Samuel Petty, who was the half-brother of my husband's mother, Myrtle Weddle Russell.

The only record I have found for William Samuel Petty was with his mother Nancy Jane (Collins), 41 on the 1900 Census in Nocona, Montague, Texas with her new husband W. E. Walls, age 65, her daughter Myrtle Weddle, (born in Montague County) age 3, and son William Samuel Petty, age 18, born in Arkansas (probably in VanBuren County).

Nancy died about 1904 in Texas. Myrtle then lived with her uncle, George Washington Collins and his family until she married my husband's father, Jesse Russell.

I have never found a record of Nancy's marriage to either a Petty or a Weddle.

I would be very grateful to have any information on any of Nancy's husbands.

Thank you for responding. I looked through my records and I did find that Gerald was born in Spring Arbor Mi. My aunt was Beulah was born in Cove, Ok. I graduated from Vinita High school,Vinita,Ok. How they met I don't know. I have a cousin from them, but I can's locate him. Sorry, it was a shot in the dark. She lived to be 100 and she was a wonderful loving christian lady. He was a preacher and a good man, but kind of hard to get close too. Thank you, Sherman.(By the way, you are locked into my computer and I can't get rid of you and can't get excess to ancestry genology. Ancestry says its not an uncommon problem.
