They may not even see this. > I don't know how they're likeing Pettit to Quincy. I haven't seen evidence that links Pettit/Petit of Long Island to Mellowes, either. James Moore, in a genealogy of John Moore of Newton, LI, states (without a source) that the wife of Thomas Pettit was Christian Mellows. See https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t86h4mn9v;view=1up;seq=300 There is evidence in Exeter records that her given name was Christian. There is a transcription on familysearch.org of part of a book about the Pettit family that states that "The Talbot carried Thomas Pettit and his wife Christian Mellowes and her brother Oliver Mellowes, a widower born in 1597" and the son of Abraham Mellowes and Martha Bulkeley. See https://familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/4254562 I think a claim of a Magna Carta descent from Saher de Quincy for Thomas Pettit in the original poster's post would be for Thomas the son of Thomas and Christian (_____) Pettit, if Christian were indeed a daughter of Abraham and Martha (Bulkeley) Mellowes.
