Ed,
My name is John Davis and I am rsearching the Pettyjohn's in Amherst County, Virginia.The Watts and Pettyjohn families married into each other during the 1800's in Amherst County, Virginia.FYI, J.P. Pettyjohn married Nannie Ould - her mother was a Watts.J.P. Pettyjohn then married Belle Watts after Nannie Ould died after 1870.Henrietta G. Pettyjohn - sister to J. P. Pettyjohn - married Stephen Watts.Stephen and Henrietta had a daughter named Clara Antoinette Watts.Isaac Newton Pettyjohn - older brother of J. P. Pettyjohn - married Julia Hale of Giles County, Virginia - her mother being a Watts.It has been suggested that William Pettyjohn (1754-1822)married an Elizabeth J. Watts.In 1810 a Benjamin Watts was residing next to William Pettyjohn in Amherst County, Virginia.Did Benjamin have a daughter or sister who could have been born around 1759.My gut feeling is that William Pettyjohn and Benjamin Watts were of the same generation and that the strong Watts connection in the Pettyjohn family during the 1800's was simply due to the two families being so close together.William Pettyjohn has also been found in Franklin County, Virginia - but during the 1780's.I am not sure when the Watts came to this area of Harris Creek in Amherst County, Virginia but I am certain that they were not there as early as 1764.Do you have any information - I have a large file on the Pettyjohn's which includes the Watts line in Amherst County, Virginia.
