Brandon Thanks Larry. Henry Pettit Sr (b.1763) is my direct ancestor. The Joshua Pettit who married Judah/Judith and left a will is his brother. They are the sons of the older Joshua Pettit who associated with Richard Pearis. To my knowledge no probate info has ever been found for the older Joshua Pettit. I did a long (and probably somewhat boring) article on that here: The Death of Old Joshua Pettit of Spartanburg Co., SC 1780~1786.I'm always looking for more info on these folks as there are a lot of unanswered questions. Joshua Pettit the elder seems to have also been associated with Col. William Wofford. You'll recognize that name from a pre-revolutionary war meeting that occurred at his house mentioned in at least 3 accounts and which Mr. Pearis likely attended.
