Children: William Mathial PETTY who wed Cinncinati Frances Sullivan (b-1835 in Lincoln Co TN). William Mathial had a sister: Sarah D. "Sally" (b-1824) who wed Loamma SANDERS, and I think it was while the family was still in Chatham Co NC. I also have Nathan L PETTY (born-1 Dec 1827, & died-30 Oct 1862) who wed Louisa Sanders (b-11 Dec 1823, d-3 Jun 1857). Buried at my PETTY family cemetery "Mt.Zion" in Marshall co TN, next to Lincoln County. There is a John C. Sanders (b-10 Aug 1849, d-23 Jan 1862), (I believe this is Louisa's father.

The TX death certificate reads Annie Sexton, daughter of Carroll Tucker and Martha Petty, born 5 April 1870 in Hopkins Co, TX (1900 census says April 1871; not listed on the 1870 census, so 5 Apr 1871 appears to be correct birth date) Martha Annie Tucker married Elijah Colbert Sexton about 1907. There were no children of this marriage.
