| Notes for William Pettit |
I did not locate this family in the 1910 Soundex. Nor did I find a William in the Ky vital statistic death index
who would have been born in 1874, nor a William age 5 or 6 in the 1880 census. It might be worthwhile checking out the Crown Hill Cemetery
in Sharpsburg to see if he is buried in the same cemetery as his sons Millard and Everett.
William may be a descendent of Thomas of Montgomery Co., perhaps through his son Asa. Or he may have recently moved into the area from
Nicholas Co., where Lillie was born. He is of interest to me primarily because several of the present Bath Co. Pettits are descended from him. |
| Census |
1900 Soundex of KY, lists in Montgomery Co.:
William Petet, age 25, b. 6-74; (w) Lillie, 28, b. 1-72; (s) Milerd, 6, b. 5-94; (d) May, 1, b. 5-99. All b. in Ky. |
| Notes for Lillian Gray |
Death Certificate (from KY Vital Statistics Dept) for Mrs. Lillie Gray Pettit, d. Feb 16, 1959, in Sharpsburg, Bath Co., widowed, date of birth Jan 27, 1876 (the 6 is an overstrike over a faint 1), age 82 (the 2 is an overstrike over a faint 7 - note that neither pairing is consistent - assuming January is correct, an age of 82 would imply birth in 1877, and an age of 87 would imply birth in 1872 - which is what the 1900 census says), birthplace Nicholas Co., KY, father's name Harvey Gray, mother's maiden name Margaret Hopkins, informant Ben Pettit, cause of death generalized arteriosclerosis.
I should look for her obituary in the Bath County newspaper microfilms. It might say when her husband died. |
