Hi Dean,I'm still searching for my ggrandmother's mother.
Her father was Stephen Pettis but on her death certificate
the mother is not listed.Her name is Sallie (Sarah) Pettis.She married George Liddle and is buried in the
Pettis Cemetery in Pittsfield.She was born in 1830 in Trumbull Co. Ohio according to death certificate and obit. She married George Liddle in 1847. I know this is between
Stephen's 3rd and 4th wife.I believe her mother to be
Hosford and she was born 1 year too early or her birth date
is wrong. Stephen had to have someone in his house after his
3rd wife died to care for the little ones, maybe Caroline
moved in early. In a land transaction Stephen and Caroline
sold land to Sallie and George for $1.00.It stated "To
Our Darling Daughter".What are your thoughts? Nancy Kent Thoben
