moorob Found a 1880 census record for Jane Mary Ann Beall married to Henry McEwen Pettit and it shows a daughter named B. Mathews, a widow with a child Zoera Hunter. I believe that B. Mathews is Elizabeth Beall Pettit who married Henry Lee Hunter. I can't find any records of her being married before her marriage to Henry Hunter. Does anyone have any information on B. Mathews?
Janet Wood moorob B. Matthews on the 1880 census is Isabelle Pettit Matthews, daughter of Henry McEwen Pettit and Jane Beall. The Hunter grand-daughter on the 1880 census is the daughter of Elizabeth Pettit Hunter and Frederick Hunter. For whatever reason Zoe Hunter was not living with her parents in 1880. So, what you've got there is: Jane, Jane's daughter Isabelle and Isabelle's niece, Zoe Hunter
Brandon I don't have much info on this family besides the old family record book which mentiones Henry McEwen Pettit but not his children. Copies of the family record book are here: https://pettitresearch.com/familyhistory/2024/01/11/james-pettit-1725-and-martha-mccune-family-record-book/ Hopefully someone else with more information will chime in and help.
