Hope this may help someone:
Thomas Pettit,A prosperous and enterprising farmer of cross creek township,Washington Co,Penn,
Is a son of Matthias Pettit,who was born on a farm near Washington borough.He was raered to
agricultural pursuits,but his inclinations were opposed to farm life, and when a boy he learned
the tailors trade. He was married to Sara,A daughter of Barnabas Hughes, A prominet farmer
living near Washington. Soon thereafter Matthias Pettit moved to Elkart Ind,and there worked
at his trade the remainder of his life,dying in 1838.He left three children Namely Margaret Ann
(wife of John Muncie) Thomas and William H. (A blacksmith of beaver falls Penn.) Thomas was
borne April 4, 1836 In Elkhart Ind. And soon after the death of his father, came to the home
of his grandfather in Amwell township intil reaching maturity,and on March 27,1861 was united
in marrage to Miss Margaret Boone,who was born in 1836.
It goes on to tell me about there childern. I am looking to find out who Matthias Grandfater's
name was. All I know is that he was in Amwell Twp. Penn. And a Republican. Hope this helps.
This is what I have been able to trace on my side. I would hope that someone will read this
and shed some light here.
