I'm looking for information regarding Nathan Petty who was born around 1827. He shows up on the 1840 census living next to several other Petty families; Micajah Petty, James A. Petty, and Ambrose Petty. He's not on the 1850 census, but he shows up again on the 1860 census. Does anybody know what the relationship may be between these Petty families? 1860 Cannon Co. census Page 119 Nathan Petty, age 37 Rebecca (wife) age 37 Charles age 19 Jas. age 17 Adline age 12 Martha age 8 (she married Joseph Prater, and they are my husband's 2nd great-grandparents) Nancy age 6 Ambros age 5 William age 2 Did Nathan and Rebecca marry in Rutherford Co? What was her maiden name? If anybody has access to the 1850 Rutherford Co. census, could you do a lookup on this family for me? I also see a William Petty and wife Elizabeth in the 1920 Rutherford Co. census with a brother Ambrose Petty living with them. Are William and Ambrose the son of Nathan Petty above?
