Does anyone know the parents of Elijah F. Pettus/Pettis of Twiggs Co. and Wilkinson Co.GA? He married Martha about 1849/50. They are on the 1850 census of Twiggs Co. with no children. In 1860 they are living in Sumter Co. GA with several children. In 1870 Martha is in Wilkinson Co. and is a Smith. On the 1880 census of Wilkinson Co. Martha Smith is living with 2 Pettis children and 2 Patterson grandchildren. Does anyone know the parents of Elijah F. Pettus? There is a Stephen Pettus on the 1840 census of Twiggs Co. Is he Elijah's father? Does anyone know Martha's last name and her parents? Thanks, Phyllis
