Michael, James D., William, Elizabeth Pettit - Morgan Co, OH>IN
I am seeking information on several Pettits whom I believe are brothers and sisters, and the children of Allen Pettit and his wife, Betsy (Elizabeth) Smith Pettit.
I believe Allen to be a son of John Pettit, and John's probate records indicate that the Michael (Mikel), James D., William and Elizabeth were Allen's children, and that they were living in Indiana circa 1860.
I believe that Elizabeth married Charles Troutman.That family shows up in the 1850 census in Cass County, IN.There is a William Pettit living in the household.
Elizabeth's obituary indicates she married in Pike County, OH.
I found a Michael (Mikel) Pettit, born ca 1825, also living in near Logansport, Indiana, married to a Hannah Smith.
There are some records that indicate Michael may have married several times after his marriage to Hannah Smith.These other wives may include Louisa Goff and Eliza Wilkinson Shaw.
James D. Pettit married Sarah Elizabeth Rush in Fulton County, IN, 1857.They show up in the 1870 census in Rochester Twp., Fulton Co, IN, with Otto (4).I can't find this family at all after 1870.
I am looking for evidence to either prove or disprove that these individuals are the children of Allen Pettit, of Morgan CO, OH.Allen was born ca 1804 and died between 1857 and 1860.
I am descended from a William Pettit, born ca 1837, OH.He may be the William living in the Charles Troutman - Elizabeth Pettit Troutman household in 1850.
