See Byron Williams - Must do Search for Ambrose Pendergrass to locate
Byrum Williams age 69 b. South Carolina
Eliza age 51 b. Tennessee
Robert age 14 b. Alabama ... Robert is shown on this census as Robert Pendergrass, but we think Robert was the son of Byron Williams but included him in the record. We have never located a Robert Pendergrass that fits the age bracket in any other source.
Ambrose Pendergrass age 12 b. Alabama
Porter G. Pendergrass age 9 b. Alabama."
1Will, Will dated 14 March 1834.
Note: by John Petty - 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 of Ambrose Petty, may be Mary Barton, a sister to Bailey Barton. Known fact is that David Mosley was married to Eliza Barton, sister to Bailey Barton.
