Notes for Jeremiah Poor Pettit
William A. Pettit family bible contains inscription "Jerry Poor Pettit Was Born the September the 20, 1867"

Census
1900 census of Grant Co., Ky, (soundex V24 ED58 S9 L51) lists:
Pettit, Jerry P., Sep 1867, 32; America T., Aug 1861, 38; May B., May 1894, 6; Dewy D., June 1898, 1; Jump, Edward, Oct 1878, 21, son-in-law. All born in Kentucky. The relation for Edward doesn't make much sense, since Jerry has no daughters old enough to be married. He is probably really either a step-son or a step-son-in-law.
Notes for America Thomas Lillard
I could not find America in the Kentucky death records. Perhaps she remarried, or died in a different state.
