The John Petty family was in Texas by 1850. It is speculated that our John Petty may be the same one who secured the Spanish Land Grant of 177 acres as a member of Stephen Austin's colony (Vol 2 pg 384, Spanish Archives, General Land Office, Austin, TX), approved 7 Aug 1824. At the time his wife and children were living in Hardin Co., TN. It is also thought John may have fought in the TX revolution as a TN volunteer, moving his family to the Ozark Mt region of Carroll Co, ARK near Berryville, Osage Twp abt 1832.

Possibly born in McNairy Co., TN. Pettytown (later part of Red Rock) was names for John A Petty and wife Elizabeth. They came there from McNairy Co., TN. John Petty owned 132 1/2 acres of land in McNairy Co. in an area called the Little Hatchey. Around 1835 he sold his land and moved to the Ozark area of Arkansas and Missouri. There they became friends with the Queens, Fowlers, Baizes and Williams' families. These families moved together to Texas and settled near each other. It is said that John fought in the Texas Revolution. He probably moved to Texas before 1850 and shows up in the 1860 census in Bastrop County. He owned considerable land in both Bastrop and Caldwell counties.10John Petty, jpetty2000 at msn.com (as of 2005).
