I will try once more to get a message posted. Rootsweb keeps sending my messages back for this forum only. I can post on the others to which I belong. I have changed nothing but they insist that I have "things" that not everyone can read. I contacted them and tried to find what they were talking about but never achieved anything. I'll try again. Joseph PETTY, b. 1765 supposedly in NJ. I have posted pictures on the Perry Co. site of PETTY family allied lines of those we cannot identify. They could be PURVIS, FOLK, ELDER, COLEMAN, VANATTA, MIDDAGH, STINE, or any other group of people who married into the PETTY line. If you have any connections w/ these lines, please contact me. I dare not post the website or it is in a format that gets sent back so I will give it to you via email if you contact me. Joseph's wife was Elizabeth. Ch. Moses, John, Margaret (Stine), Mary Ann (VANATTA, ANGLE, LEHMAN). Elizabeth (PEPPLE), Jemima (VANATTA), Aaron, Joseph who married E. CLOVER, Jacob (my line who married Amelia BARNEs), and another daughter whose name escapes me right now. She went to Lawrence CO., ILL as did Moses, Elizabeth, Joseph, Margaret for a while. Some of these photos were taken in Ill. so they could be allied families from there. I suspect that they are primarily the family of Josiah PETTY who married Harriet COLEMAN because I have identified my grandfather, Jacob COLEMAN PETTY, their son, and two of his brothers. The album was assembled by the daughter of Wm. H. PETTY who remained in Perry CO and owned a shoe store in Lancaster as did his son Freed. Wm. took his own life as did his son later because he had lost his son in an accident. Wm. it was presumed was depressed because of the depression but I am not certain of that. Wm married Minnesota ELDER so their other children could be in this album. However, she must have collected pictures of cousins in Ill. also. HELP! Marjory PETTY Austen
