-----------------------US Census of 1820 they are in Henry Co., TN
Peter Apperson, the writer's great-grandfather, second child of William and Elizabeth Kerr Apperson, was born March 23, l784, on their plantation in Surry County, N.C., near the present town of East Bend. The date of birth is confirmed by the family page of his parents Bible, as well as by his gravestone on his homestead near Waxanachie, Texas.
As a youth he attended the nearby country school, the only education he received. He learned arithmetic well it appears since later he became a good business man and at the time of his death in, Texas in 1853 he was one of the largest land owners and a wealthy man. His family attended services of the Primitive Baptist Church in their community, taking their children along. Peter grew up to be a fine young man, taking his place in the various activities of the neighborhood we can be sure. He was of that first generation of Americans to grow up following the end of the Revolutionary War, a period during which the new United States was being firmly molded into a united nation by such leaders as Washington, Jefferson, the Adams, Franklin and others. It was a time when the people generally had settled down to work, attempting to recoup lost fortunes and build new ones. The Indians had become less troublesome and a feeling of security and confidence appears to have taken over. One may be sure that Peter Apperson heard much discussion among his elders as to the measures best suited to strengthen the new nation politically and economically and build up her image abroad. Those young men reaching manhood about the year 18OO listened well and filled their places in the development of our great country. They were ever looking forward to betterment of their status in life both spiritually and economically. They were, therefore, in the forefront of those pioneers stirred by stories of the exploits of Daniel Boone, helping to open the trail westward from North Carolina, a poor State economically, and from other eastern States.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------The Apperson Family
Peter Apperson was an early settler in Ellis County. Born in Surry County, North Carolina, he moved westward in 1810 - first to Cumberland County, Ky., and then to Barren County where he married Nov. 18, 1817, Elizabeth Petty, daughter of Rev. Ralph Petty, a Baptist minister. After a stay in Tennessee, the family was in Springfield, Mo. by 1831 and in 1845 he sent his son, James, to Texas to locate land.
James, accompanied by his father's overseer and several slaves, arrived at the little village of Dallas on December 1st, but decided to move on because he did not consider the land suitable for farming. The party located a spring of water about 30 miles south of Dallas, on the south side of Waxahachie Creek. They settled there and made at least two crops before Peter arrived in 1848 with his family and more slaves. Peter was then sixty-four years old.
The Apperson family is enumerated in the Ellis County 1860 census: Peter (66); Eliza (55); James P. (21); Mary (18) and John T. (8).. By 1860 James (born in Tennessee) had married M. C.and had children: F. F. (6 m); A. P. (4m); A. E. (2f) and E. B. (5/12 f). they lived in Waxahachie as did Peter's widow, Eliza, listed as head of household with son John, (14) and two Ward children, E. E. 10 and N. J. 8 - both girls. [daughters of Mary Apperson?)
His years in Texas were only a few since he died in 1853. He was buried in the cemetery on his home place, which is on Howard Road .8 of a mile east of the intersection of Hwy 77 and Howard. There is a rock wall around three of the graves with a group of trees growing in the center. One broken stone was found on the outside and the top of the knoll is surrounded with field stones. No doubt there were several other graves on the outside of the wall, but only one stone was found, This cemetery is located on private property and is not maintaned.

probably came to West Virginia about 1740 from Philadelphia Co., Pensylvannia
It is thought he died about 1750 and Elizabeth remarried and had at least 2 more children.There are 3 John Petty's in Philadelphia during that period of time and we are not sure yet which one is Elizabeth's husband.
Here is one:
Pennsylvania: John Petty:
Virginia Land Grant. (not sure if this is our John: Barb) LDS Old # 7117 Pt 4 page 148: Land grant of John Petty of Richmond Co., VA containing 26 acres; land was in the Northern Neck of Virginia.Our John Petty's children probably came to Hampshire County, (West) Virginia (then part of Virginia) about 1740 (+ or -) from Philadelphia Co., Pensylvannia. (Later, that part Hampshire Co., became Hardy County in 1785.)
It is thought John Petty died sometime after 1740 and before 1750 and Elizabeth remarried and had at least 2 more children through her marriage to Gaisbert Bogard. Elizabeth may have gone to Hampshire Co., Virginia with her children. Her son Ebenezer was shown in the deed records as the first one by the Petty name to acquire land. I did not see land aquisition for John in Hampshire or Hardy county.
V************************************************************************************************************VThere are several John Petty's in Philadelphia during the early periods in and around Philadelphia.
I present those I found: June 2007THOSE LISTED BELOW ARE FOR RESEARCH PUPOSES ONLY!!! I DO NOT KNOW WHICH ONE OF THESE OR SOMEONE ELSE IS THE HUSBAND OF ELIZABETH DAVIS YET!
1.) Pennsylvania: John Petty: (Probably the Indian Trader).
Manatawny. - 35
John Winter have Murdered one Indian Man and Two Indian Women without any cause given by the sd Indians; and the sd Winters have brought two girls (one of which is Cripled) to George Boon's to receive some Reward. I desire the Governour may see after it before he goes Down, for most certainly such actions will create the greatest antipathy between the Several Nations of Indians and the Christians. The Bearer John Petty has heard the full relation of this matter, to whom I shall refer the Governour for a more full account and remain the Governour's most hearty friend and Serv't to Command: SAMLL NUTT.Immediately upon the receipt of this letter, the Governor issued a proclamation, commanding the people, in his Majesty's name, to levy Hue and Cry with Horse and with Foot within the Province of Pennsylvania" for the apprehension of these murderers. The unfortunate men soon gave themselves up, and said in justification of their act, that from the " Reports in the Countrey of the Indians having Killed some white men, they thought they might lawfully kill any Indian they could find." But the were" ordered to prison and a sure guard." And then the coroner was despatched to make an inquisition of the dead bodies and to bury them wrapt in linen, and was further directed, if any of their relations should be there, he should present them with strowds(1) to cover the dead bodies, and give two strowds to the Indian girls, and to employ some person to cure their wounds, and further to assure their friends that the offenders should not go unpunished. After returning to Philadelphia, the Governor issued a proclamation in regard to the Indian treaties and the present alarm and murder, in which he says: "The said natives have not to this time been guilty of any failure or breach on their part of the said treaties."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.) 1728 Letter to John Petty, INDIAN TRADER, and Henry Smith concerning a mission of Petty on behalf of the Governor and Council of Pennsylvania to certain Indian tribes. A copy of Petty's subsequent report is extant. From "Penna. Archives Vol. VI, pp 227-232".
3)From the Chesterfield Friends Minutes:
These show that the second meeting house, built in 1707, contained 40,000 bricks and that two hundred bushels of lime were used in its construction. When we consider that these would weigh over one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, or 75 tons, and would take up one-third of the capacity of a ship of that period, it is difficult to conceive of using such valuable cargo space in this way. Many persons insist that the bricks used in the present substantial meeting house were likewise imported from England.
A brickyard was established at Burlington at a very early date and the "Brick yard Road" is frequently mentioned in wills and deeds before 1720. We know that Walter Cock, either operated, or worked in a Burlington brickyard in 1725 and was probably succeeded by one William Petty who as administrator of the estate of John Petty, under his will of December 23, 1730, is described as a brickmaker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDIAN TRADER
2A.) 1728 Letter to John Petty, Indian Trader, and Henry Smith concerning a mission of Petty on behalf of the Governor and Council of Pennsylvania to certain Indian tribes. A copy of Petty's subsequent report is extant. From "Penna. Archives Vol. VI, pp 227-232".*1733 John Petty, Indian Trader, reported runaway of a negro man and woman, presumably his slaves. Abstract from Franklin's Penna. Gazette, October 11, 1733.
(John Petty in connection with negotiations with the Seven Indian Tribes .)
A researcher found some information about Petty Island in the middle of the Delaware River back in 1750. John Petty is described as an Indian trader from Pennsauken, South Jersey area.
The Indian Trader that is mentioned in many documents but remained otherwise unidentifiable, because we haven't found him owning land land. Now if he was the one who owned Petty's Island (easily seen on a map then, if the facts hold up and he was from Pennsauken, New Jersey area, he may have further identification. I checked the internet section and found no leads there 4/2007)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4.) 1734 Ebenezer Petty, carpenter, Hunterdon Co. PA, listed as debtor on inventory of will of John Ferguson of Trenton. (Probably not ours) This family in Hunterdon Co. had ties to the Sisson Family of New York -just across the border from Huntedon Co., Pennsylvania and then they may go into Massachusetts group. Ebenezer left there in 1737, and it is not known what happened to him Joseph Petty took over his land, and raised a family there. (Barb research reported in Petty Papers Volume 12 #2. March 1990.)
Copies of Petty Papers are on CD and available from barbmcgee@networld.com This particular issue contains much of the research on the Petty families of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
5.) 1734 One John Petty was listed as a landholder in Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. Owned 500 acres in White Marsh.(Twp)

6.) Ref: Orange Co., VA Court orders 1735: LDS #7847 pt 3-6 (old call #) Vol 3 page 97: At court held on Thursday the 28 Jan. 1741/42, " John Petty is hereby appointed Overseer of the road in the room of John Hawkins, he causes the sd road to be repaird & the bridge theron to be made according to law."Ref. Deeds of Orange Co., VA. part 3 bk 2 page 129 (old film # 7844) dated 28 Sep. 1737:
" George Robinson, John Pateate (Petty) & ANN his wife, sold land that had been granted them in 1735: {BARB NOTE: Ilkley Parish, Yorkshire England: ...

Crosswit, Trader, of of Orange Co., Virginia, near the Falls of the Rappahannock (River) ddeft, held til next court."Page 471. Dated 24 June 1743, "At court John Petty Vs Wm Crosswait held til next court."
--------------------- (Those listed below are in the time period when our family was probably in VA)--------
7.)1747 William Petty died intestate before April 20, 1747. Letter of administration of estate was granted August 15 to Richard Blackington of Philadelphia. (William's son John Petty seems to have played no part in the administration of his father's will, although John was still alive. This may mean that John Petty had left Burlington and also at this time probably did not reside in Philadelphia (if the Philadelphia items refer to him at all). If, as a married man with two children upon arrival in Burlington about 1697 William was, say, 28 years old, he would have been 78 at time of death. (Burlington is in N.J. across the Delaware River from Philadelphia) {barb note: don't think this is related}
8) 1747 A Joseph Petty, agreed to provide board and room and pasture to John Reading of Hunterdon Co. New Jersey for Reading's son and horse, according to Reading's diary. John Reading was a very well-known early citizen who served as governor of New Jersey.)
9.)1748 One John Petty married Elizabeth Hall. 2 Febr.1749 (Penna. Marriage Licenses 1748-1752. (There is no evidence that this one is pertinent. When her father's will was executed her brother Richard testified she was dead.) If our birth dates for Elizabeth's children are correct then this marriage is too late. Barb
10.) 1785 A John Petty is listed for this year in the Northhampton Co., Penna., militia. Penna Arch., 6th Series, Vol. III, p. 890. (No evidence of pertinent relationship.By then our family was in Hampshire Co.,VA)

Hampshire Co., Virginia;
10th day of April 1784
Elizabeth Bogard: gave her Power of Attorney to her beloved son Joseph Petty of Hampshire Co. her power of attorney to “convey all my right, tithe and Interest of and in a certain tract of land containing one hundred acres situate, lying and being in the County of Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania his to make such conveyances and assmanses? as may be thought competent both in law and equity, hereby giving my said attorney full power, and everything concerning the same, in as ample manner as may obtain this premises . In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal on the X day of April 1784.”
In presence of
Andrew Woodrow
Jos. Nevile
Jonathan Heath
Abel Randale
At a court held for Hampshire County the 10th day of April 1784.
This power of Attorney from Elizabeth Bogard to Joseph Petty to obtain her 100 Acre property in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, was proved by the Oaths of Andrew Wodrow, Joseph Nevile and Abel Randale, Witnsses, and ordered to be recorded: Teste: And. Wodrow C.C …**(This was the fist notice we have of Elizabeth giving one of her children power to go to Philadelphia to obtain her property. 100 Acres was a lot of land in that city. After her death then her sons declared their relationship to each other and to Elizabeth, as their mother and they gave power of attorney to their brother John Petty of ... Pennsylvania to obtain the land. The spot where the county should have been was blank. Barb)
In the Court records of Hampshire County, West Virginia, Elizabeth (Petty) Bogard mentions 100 acres that belonged to her, by will, in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.
(Barb comment: my first thought was it was land left to her when her husband when he died, but it looks like it is due her from her Mother's estate.)
By this time, Ebenezer Petty (father to Ralph Petty) had moved from Virginia to Bourbon Co., Kentucky:

I.)
BARB MCGEE COMMENTS: Elizabeth who appears in the Owen Jones will is likely our Elizabeth who is the mother of Ebenezer, John, Joseph, Eunice(Harness), Ann (Mace) and Cornelius Bogard and Ezekiel Bogard.(Keep in mind that I did most of this research in 1971 with the help of a professional researcher, Earl Kidd .(now still living in 2006 but over 90 years old.) (ELIZABETH'S MAIDEN NAME WOULD NOT BE PETTY)
All indications are that our Petty family came to Hampshire Co.,Virginia, now West Virginia from Pennsylvania. It is my conclusion that Elizabeth went from Pennsylvania to Virginia, with her children and there met Gaisbert Bogard and married him shortly after their arrival
Elizabeth, the mother of the above mentioned: Fact: Did give all of her son's permission to retrieve "her property" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She authorized first her Son, Joseph Petty to do it before she died. After her death, each of her other sons gave affidavits to each other to have their "brother" and "half-brother", in the case of the Bogard Boys for John Petty of Pennsylvania, to go and obtain the rights to their mother's property."The Estate of Elizabeth Bogard deceased demised to her by the late will and testament of (sic) and now deceased in equal parcenary to the aforesaid John Petty and Joseph Petty and Ebenezer Petty my half Brothers and sons of Elizabeth Bogard and to me Cornelius Bogard and Ezekiel Bogard my Brother and further sell transfer aline entooff and convey unto any purchaser my said part and proportion of the aforesaid tract or parcel of land…"
I have not found where any document says that this was entered into Pennsylvania court records.
Philadelphia records could possibly be found in other counties such as Chester, but I have only focused on Philadelphia Court records.
I did at the time cover a wide are of Pennsylvania looking for the possibility that Elizabeth (Petty) and Gaisbert Bogard may have lived in the same area. Some books have stated that the families came to West Virginia together, but even though I searched the available Church Records and found many Bogard families, but the Petty family was never in the same records.
The name John, as the husband of Elizabeth is used from family records and bibles, handed down from each of the related Petty children of Elizabeth. Each family had John as the father of their end of line records.

**Warder’s Conquest” 1730
1165 Pinetown Road, Fort Washington
Englishman Lord John Petty built this residence and fur trading post in 1730. The property owner during the Whitemarsh Encampment opened the house as headquarters for Washington’s surgeon general, Dr. J. Cochran. It is also said that his home was used as a hospital during that time, as were other large houses in the area. Donald Gallagher. Esq. extensively restored the home in 1969. Half of the land once called “Warder’s Conquest” is now the Fort Washington Office Park. Placed on a national register November 21, 1976.

--------------------** Amanda's research at the Hisorical society of Montgomery Co., PA: Looked for a John Petty.
" The Petty's were an English family, living in Philadelphia from whom Petty's Island in the Delaware (River) is named. They also owned and extensife tract in Upper Dublin, eastward of Fort Washington. There is a reason to believe they {the Petty's} made the first improvements her, as a house is mentioned as existing in 1742, when McClean bougth it.
He McClean never lived here but his son did so during the Revolution. In the assessment of 1734, the name of John Petty is mentioned as the owner of 500 Acres. (Amanda thought that the article was saying that the Petty's in Upper Dublin were the same Petty's that owned the Petty's Island.)The article also listed the below information:
"1612: Wm Penn to John Knight of London 250 acres
1729: John Knight to John Petty
1746: John Petty to Archilbald McClean of Horsham."

Petty information extractedThe first settles of Posey township found it occupied along the river, by a lawless set of half-civilized beings, driven from Kentucky by the terrors of the whipping-post, at which certain acts of petit larceny was, by the laws of that State, punished. They cultivated small patches of ground, but subsisted principally upon what they gathered from the woods and the river.
About 1819 Oliver Ormsby and Patrick Donahoe, natives of Ireland, purchased what is called Mexican Bottom, a tract of land on the Ohio River immediately above the town of Patriot, containing 2100 aces. Donahoe made some improvements, but the Ormsbly Tract of 1,300 acres remained almost a wilderness for many years.
The first school in Posey Township was taught by James Herrick in 1816.
Judge McClure was mentioned as one of the early settlers and served as one of the first circuit court judges after the organization of Switzerland Co. In 1819 his wife, son and grandson were drowned in the Ohio river. Judge McClure subsequently moved to Covington where he died.P. 1166: Others mentioned: John Campell from Brook Co., VA- And settled in Posey twp, Egypt Bottoms in 1810, or 1811. His brother Charles Campbell came in 1809 from Brook Co., Va., He purchased a section an fraction of land and began it’s improvement but died in Dec. 1814. He had married Elizabeth Petty, sister of Joshua Petty and one child, Elizabeth was the issue of this marriage. She was married at the age of thirteen to Joseph Lillard, a son of a Baptist minister.

Joshua Petty, with his father, was one of the first to locate in the vicinity of Patriot. He owned land in Section 12, was a Universalist Minister as occasion offered for his services, and was for many years a justice of Posey Township. He was uneducated and very eccentric. In ordering judgements he frequently made corn or potatoes a legal tender as a “circulating medium.” The following notice of trespass is from his pen, verbatim et literatum, during his official career as justice of the peace:“Boen County, Kentucky (sic) (Boone Co. )
July 18, 1824
Mr. Wms. Person senr. Ser-I am informed you and your famley (sic) have truspassed in Cutting timber and takin of Stone of the land of Elizabeth Campbell. I Am much sepersed that men will take such libeteys. That they wold not give them Selves-Esqr Smith x Gives himself the trouble to inforem t he people, that thare is no persons apinted who can punish person for so doing it Up on that Ground Sir you have gon to work you will find that yaur tupiney Smith Judgment will not save you from Damage and you may erest ashurd that you Shall pay for Shuch ligerteys and in that in Justices.” Joshua Petty.In those early days it is said that Joshua occasionally took produce by flat-boat down the river, and it was sometimes intimated that the “wild hogs” which went to make up his cargo were not altogether his own property. He subsequently had a man brought before him for trial, the charge being the stealing of a hog valued at $1.25. The Squire was about to render a verdict of “grand larceny” when someone present suggested to his honor that the valuation of the property was not sufficiently large to justify the charge, that the verdict should be for “petit larceny.” Mistaking the word “petit” for Petty, his own name, the indignant Squire shook his head fiercely, spit frantically, and swore in his usual oath, “By the mighty God’s heavens! I never stole a hog in my life.”
Mr Petty was accustomed to pass the following eulogy upon a certain colored gentleman who had befriended him in a time of sore need: “ He was a very poor man, yet a man of very strong ‘compredunction’; and when he got an apprehension, it didn’t take him long to consequent it. And if I should ever meet that man in the future, I should treat him with the greatest contempt.”
Joshua attended the wedding of John T. Robinson who married a Miss Hughes of Kentucky, and to his wife he afterward spoke thusly of the wedding feast: “Maria, it was the finest dinner I ever saw; but no meat! Not a bit of meat; nothing but fowls and chickens!”
Mr. Petty died in Kentucky opposite Patriot in 1840-45. The Petty’s were “squatters,” Joshua being perhaps the first land owner among them. They came from Pennsylvania.
Marriage took place in Switzerland, Indiana. I do not know where he was born.

In ordering judgements he frequently made corn or potatoes a legal tender as a “circulating medium.” The following notice of trespass is from his pen, verbatim et literatum, during his official career as justice of the peace:“Boen County, Kentucky (sic) (Boone Co. )
July 18, 1824
Mr. Wms. Person senr. Ser-I am informed you and your famley (sic) have truspassed in Cutting timber and takin of Stone of the land of Elizabeth Campbell. I Am much sepersed that men will take such libeteys. That they wold not give them Selves-Esqr Smith x Gives himself the trouble to inforem t he people, that thare is no persons apinted who can punish person for so doing it Up on that Ground Sir you have gon to work you will find that yaur tupiney Smith Judgment will not save you from Damage and you may erest ashurd that you Shall pay for Shuch ligerteys and in that in Justices.” Joshua Petty.In those early days it is said that Joshua occasionally took produce by flat-boat down the river, and it was sometimes intimated that the “wild hogs” which went to make up his cargo were not altogether his own property. He subsequently had a man brought before him for trial, the charge being the stealing of a hog valued at $1.25. The Squire was about to render a verdict of “grand larceny” when someone present suggested to his honor that the valuation of the property was not sufficiently large to justify the charge, that the verdict should be for “petit larceny.” Mistaking the word “petit” for Petty, his own name, the indignant Squire shook his head fiercely, spit frantically, and swore in his usual oath, “By the mighty God’s heavens! I never stole a hog in my life.”
Mr Petty was accustomed to pass the following eulogy upon a certain colored gentleman who had befriended him in a time of sore need: “ He was a very poor man, yet a man of very strong ‘compredunction’; and when he got an apprehension, it didn’t take him long to consequent it. And if I should ever meet that man in the future, I should treat him with the greatest contempt.”
Joshua attended the wedding of John T. Robinson who married a Miss Hughes of Kentucky, and to his wife he afterward spoke thusly of the wedding feast: “Maria, it was the finest dinner I ever saw; but no meat! Not a bit of meat; nothing but fowls and chickens!”
Mr. Petty died in Kentucky opposite Patriot in 1840-45. The Petty’s were “squatters,” Joshua being perhaps the first land owner among them. They came from Pennsylvania.
