Daniel was not named in will-see abt batch # to see who submitted & write to

name of Francis Moore Petty's wife
Formerly, we have had listed this John Petty as having a wife named Ann Fauntleroy. This was wrong. According to John Petty (jpetty2000@msn.com): "I think that I have found the Ann Fauntleroy, or at least where the information came from. There is a Ann Fauntleroy shown married to a John Pettit (not Petty). This marriage is given to have taken place Jan 7, 1755 in Essex Co., VA. This Ann Fauntleroy is shown to have died in 1758. She and John Pettit had two children. John Pettit, and Lydia Bushrod Pettit. They would have had to been born between 1755 and 1758. My guess is that someone changed the name spelling of Pettit to Petty somewhere along the way. This information came from WFT #85 Tree #534."
In order for Mary Sanders to be the wife of this John Petty, it would have needed to be a second wife, and he would have had to more. to Wilkes County, North Carolina. This marriage needs to be re-evaluated.
Hazel M.Calvert of 1525 North Millbrook Ave, Fresno CAl 93703 did work on this family the children she put with this John seemed to be the same children as the one's on John Petty and Hannah son of Thomas Petty of Charlotte Co., VA. This Mary Sanders may not go with this John.
