"Lands For Sale"
Three hundred and seventeen acres, well adapted to the culture of tobacco & all kinds of small grain, lying within five miles of the University; eighty acres are now under cultivation and very little injured by use-Good orchards of both apple and peach trees. The purchaser may be accommodated with the crop of corn now growing on the land, together with the stock of cattle, hogs, & sheep. As I am desirous of moving this fall to the State of Tennessee, I am determined to sell on the most reasonable terms.

Source: Goodspeed's History of Cannon County, Tennessee The country now embraced in Cannon County was settled as early as 1807 and 1809, though it then belonged to several other counties in part. The early settlers were chiefly North Carolinians, who, however, came here from East Tennessee, to which section they had previously immigrated in quest of homes, but pushed on over the mountains as Middle Tennessee opened up for settlement.
Among the settlers living here in 1836, when Cannon County was organized, were Henry D. McBroom, John Wood, James and Edmond Taylor, Wm.

The above Ambrose Petty, as the son of Ambrose Petty (the son of James and Martha Petty) is only conjecture by me. I believe this to be right, but it is not proven. Also, I believe that the wife may be Mary Barton, a sister to Bailey Barton. Known fact is that David Mosley was married to Eliza Barton, sister to Bailey Barton.8Census Record, 1830 census, Pickens Co., S.Carolina.

Abstract "Litigation brought by Isaac Peeler against other heirs to sell property owned by James Petty, Jr. (dec'd) and divide proceeds." Property: About 330 acres on Abington Creek, bounded on the north by Mr. Montgomery's land, on the south by Joshua Petty, and on the west by John Jeffries land."
The property location on Abington Creek. This was property that James Petty Jr. owned. This property was located next to Joshua's land, and more important, the land of John Jeffries. John Jeffries was the son of Nathaniel Jeffries and Rebecca Curry. Rebecca Curry, was the daughter of Nicholas Curry, one of the executors of the elder James Petty estate.9Walter Edgar, Partisans and Redcoats, pg 37.
"After the defeat of the Cherokee nation [defeat 10-1776, treaty 5-1777], there was a peace on the western frontier of South Carolina. “Among [the new immigrants] was John Nuckolls Sr., who left his farm in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, in 1776 and took up lands along Thicketty Creek in Spartan District. There he built his house on a rise overlooking rich bottomland. Zechariah Bullock, Nuckolls’s brother-in-law, followed him to South Carolina. On the east side of the Pacolet River, about four or five miles upstream from Grindal Shoals, Bullock found a site for his new farm."10Will, Copy, 3 Feb 1816.

R. C. and John M. were in Benton Co. but migrated. R. C. treked to Utah and died on a missionary trip to OK. There is a diary documenting his illness and death. John M. Petty is on the 1836 and 1840 census in Benton Co TN. He went back to Dickson Co after Thomas died, and made the trip from Dickson Co to Texas in 1848. I'm pretty sure he was one of the "seven brothers and cousins" on the long oxen train. John M. Petty stopped off in Upshur Co. and was there on the 1850 and 1860 census. I haven't looked for his burial--it must be unknown as his family has not posted that. I was reading Upshur cemeteries but I think I was looking for one of John's sons. And I was looking for one of John A. and Betsy (Dawson) Petty's daughters that remarried and moved to Upshur Co and died there.
Note from Jason Petty: In 1807, Thomas Petty moved his family from Union Co., SC to Dickson Co/Hickman Co., TN, where he lived for the next 28 years. In 1836, he moved to the Benton/Humphreys Co. TN area. One of his sons, R.C. Petty, was sheriff of Benton Co. One story handed down by the R.C. Petty family and confirmed by the Journal of Wilford Woodruff, early Mormon Missionary in Western TN and magistrate court records of Benton Co., concerns the arrest of two Elders of the Mormon Church for preaching their doctrine. R.C. brought them to his home rather than leave them in jail. Here they preached the Gospel to the family and Thomas Petty was converted and baptized. R.C. was baptized on April 4, 1844 in this church. He moved his family to Council Point, Iowa, shortly after this. Thomas Petty died in 1843 in Benton County and his wife, Jane Darwin Petty died in 1844. Thought that was an interesting story.7Court Record.

Various books on Dickson Co history also refer to his service. I have this note from one, "Am Rev. soldies know to have lived in Dickson Co: Thomas Petty (Col Brandon’s Regiment)" Have have several accounts of his pension application:
Thomas Petty served in the Rev. War and received a pension.
The County Courthouse in Benton Co TN has a prominent plaque on the wall near the front door which lists Thomas with other Benton County residents as heros from the Rev. War.
Revolutionary War Pension Applications, Petty Papers Vol 3 No. 1 p. 9-10
Thomas Petty – Private, Capt Montgomery’s Co, South Carolina Militia.
Thomas Petty, age 68, a resident of Dickson Co., Tennessee, applied for a pension in said county on April 3rd, 1833.
Thomas Petty stated that he was born Mar. 31, 1765, in Virginia, and was taken by his parents in his infancy to Bute Co., N.C. He said that his information came from his father’s family records, which he copied into his family record. That his parents removed afterwards to Union County, in the State of South Carolina. He first entered the service as a drafted militia man for a tour of 3 months, and was placed in Capt. Robet Montgonery’s Comp., in Union County, under Henderson, and went to the siege of 96 where they remained until the British received reinforcements. He next entered the service as a volunteer in Captain Crawford’s Co., and Richard Sayer’s Regiment. Following that service he was again drafterd into Montgomery’s unit and marched to Orangeburgh, S.C., where he foutht in the losing cause for that city. Next he served under Capt. Arrington in an expedition into the Indian Nation where they fought and killed several Indians.
After the war, Thomas remained in Union County, until 1807, when he and his family removed to Dickson County, Tennessee.
From Katherin Reynolds, The Petty Family
Thomas: born 3-31-1765 VA; taken by parents in infancy to Bute CO NC; parents moved to Union Co SC; in 1807 moved from Union Co SC to Dickson Co TN; Rev. War, served 15 mo.
Rev. War service total of 15 months:
Draft (3 mo): Capt Montgomery—battle Orangeburgh, SC with Gen Brandon; front guard, Maj Snipes at Orangeburgh
Draft (3 mo): Capt. Arrington under Gen Perkins—against Indians
Vol. (3 mo): Bacon Bridge, then Ashley River Added at the beginning of Miss Reynolds's list should be:
Draft (3 mo): Capt. Montgomery, under Henderson, Union Co and siege of 96
Vol. (3 mo): Capt. Drawford’s Co, Richard Sayer’s Reg.
Either Miss Reynolds missed these from the application--or I took bad notes from her book. Mike Watkins:

"Petty Papers" describing the 1840 census
Petty Papers that Thomas Petty Jr. died before his father made his will in 1841. Also see John Petty's analysis below of other records that the Thomas Petty in Henderson was from a different family.
" I rechecked the 1840 census of Hickman County, Tennessee for Terry Petty. I had seen the name but had not really evaluated it in comparison with the 1850 census. In 1840 Terry Petty was represented as a 50 year old widow! The statistics for the children matched the entry for Thomas D. Petty of Henderson County that same year, minus the youngest son and youngest daughters. Terry Petty was not the father of William K, and Jacob H. Petty, Terry was their mother!
Apparently Thomas Petty Jr. died in 1840 in Henderson County. And perhaps his youngest son and youngest daughters also died at the same time. Following their deaths Terry and the rest of the family returned to Hickman County where her other children lived." And see the info from Dick for the notes about the deeds by Thomas's children.

" It is evident that the land in Union Co. (now Cherokee Co.) belonging to Thomas Petty’s father, James Petty Sr., was bordering the land of James Darwin in York Co., SC, because several in both families intermarried. After Jane Darwin’s marriage to Thomas, they remained in South Carolina, where their first five children were born though it is not clear as to whether they resided in York Co. or Union Co. and in 1807 the family departed for Tennessee. On the 11 Jan. 1808, Thomas bought 1051 acres in Hickman Co., TN, on both sides of the Piney River from Robert Weakley and this deed was registered on 23 July 1808: Thomas Petty Deed 1051 acres Pine River

April Session 1808 then was the execution of the written deed on conveyance Robert Weakley to Thomas Petty for 1051 acres proved by the oaths of Bartlet G. Stewart and Thomas Petty Jr. and ordered to be registered. It is believed that Jane’s brother, James Darwin Jr., joined up with Thomas and Jane around 1812 as a state grant for 40 acres in Hickman Co. was given to him on 2 Aug. 1813 and mentions his “improvements” which meant he had certainly lived on it for a while at least. In 1814 Thomas Petty bought at a sheriff’s auction, as highest bidder, this 40 acres, which was condemned to satisfy a judgement against James Darwin Jr. There is no further reference to James Darwin Jr. in Tennessee.

William Stone, clerk The Petty Papers note that Thomas Petty’s estate amounted to 1200 acres in both Dickson and Hickman Co. in a part of Tennessee where the land was very fertile. The 1820 census for Dickson Co. shows that Thomas had ten slaves, six males and four females, who worked alongside the family in the planting and harvesting the crops. It was also in 1820 that James sold half of his original holding of 1051 acres to Gabriel Petty and two years later followed up this transaction with a further 40 acres to his brother from the James Darwin, Jr., tract (see section 3.15 Sarah Darwin). A year later in 1823, he sold another 100 acres of his original holding to his son James D. Petty. Finally, he sold the last of his land in Dickson Co. to his son James D. Petty by the beginning of April 1834 in preparation for a move westward to Benton Co., TN, in 1835 at which time he was 70 years old. The travel party consisted of himself, his wife Jane and youngest daughter Keziah along with the families of his sons John and Robert Cowan Petty. He lived the remainder of his life at his new home in Benton Co. and died in 1841 at the age of 76. In his will he named his sons James D. Petty, Ambrose R. Petty, George V. Petty, John M. Petty, and Robert C. Petty; and also his two daughters Polly D. Wright, and Keziah A. Whitehorn. Sons John M. Petty and Robert C. Petty were appointed executors of the estate. After the sale of the estate on 24 Aug. 1841, several claims for debts were made against Thomas’ estate. These resulted in an order of the court to sell in public auction the slaves of the estate, consisting of a negro woman named Crecy, age 27, a girl named Susan, age 10, a girl named Harriet, age 6, a girl named Caroline, age 3, and a boy named George, age 2. When the sale occurred, Robert Cowan Petty purchased all five so that they could remain with the estate and help care for his widowed mother Jane, who would live another three years until 1844."
Lists her birthdate as 1773.
