Notes for Elizabeth ("Lizzie") Pettit
Death Certificate (from KY Vital Statistics Dept) for Elizabeth Petit d. Nov 18, 1927, in West Liberty, Morgan Co., date of birth unknown, age "she is susposed to be about 90 yrs old", birthplace "unknown she came here to this county when she was young"; states that she was "an inmate of poor house for quite a while, she has been feeble minded most all of her life", single, father unknown, mother unknown, informant Ed Elam of West Liberty, cause of death "hemorhage of lungs", burial Neal Graveyard, West Liberty.
Census
Lizzie is with her parents in the 1860 census, listed as age 20, and with her son John Tom Pettit in the 1910 census, listed as age 65 (she was really about 70.) I have not found her in 1870 or 1880. There is a possibility that she is the Lizzie Pettit listed as age 53 with James L. Pettit in the 1900 census, but if so, she is mislabelled as being a "widow".
