Hi all, Guess it's time for me to jump in here too. I'm also descended from Wilson and Margaret Petty--only I'm related through William and Elizabeth Coffey Petty, through their son Isaac and his son Jacob (my grandfather). I have done a lot of research on this Petty line, but obviously have more on William than I do on your Isaac. I have done limited research on Isaac's descendants. The Cherokee connection interests me. One researcher said that William and Elizabeth's youngest daughter, Mary Ellen, who married a Cummings was Cherokee, but I have never found any proof of Indian heritage. However, I don't know anything about Wilson's wife, Margaret--I can't find a marriage license or a last name for her, so she could be from an Indian tribe. Let me know if I can help. Marlene

Marlene, Hopefully little by little, we can all help each other. Sometimes takes one name and then everything clicks! We should keep each mes'g and refer to them as we go. Thanks for your help. Vonda
