#112) James D. Petty 45 SC (carpenter) and his son Columbus 11 TN., were living in the home of his brother, John A. Petty and family. Also, marriage records of Dickson County, Tennesse show that James D. Petty married Mahala Petty on January 2, 1851. Seems strange since his wife, Unity Chisenhall, was shown in census as living November 12, 1850. The only explanation that makes sense to me is, that James Petty's family did die in July of Cholera, and in October he was living with his brother. Returning to his home later, when the census taker made his stop there in November of 1850, he went ahead and listed the members even though they no longer were living, presumably since they were living at the time the census was to start in June of 1850. Will: June 2, 1883 Dickson Co., Tennessee. LDS Film # 002464 James D. Petty signed a will that left everything to his wife Mahala A. Petty, after his debts were paid. It names no children.
