My mother was Vacarious Pettiford Allen and her father was David "Bud" Pettiford, and her mother was Geneva Hedgepeth Pettiford. David's parents were Monroe and Frances. I don't know the parents of Geneva.. Have you anything else you can share with me that might be useful. David was born in 1888, and died in the 1950's.
