There are also land records which show Elizabeth Hood and Zachariah Petty sold some land in Kershaw County, South Carolina. This may well be Zachariah's portion of his father's estate for Elizabeth left him only $5 in her will.

Notes from researcher:Luke is first mentioned in his father’s will as having moved to Carolina by 1770.
Luke married Elizabeth Hood and owned property in Kershaw (Craven) County, South Carolina by obtaining a 200 acre Royal Land Memorial in 1768 (Holcomb, 1999; Royal Grants Volume 18, pg. 338; Memorials Volume 8, pg. 504).

He was a boone officer who provided a wagon for hire, supplied provisions for both men and horses, as did his wife Elizabeth Hood (Ervin, 1949). Luke lost an arm in the Battle of Wateree in 1780, had his house burned, and title deed papers destroyed by the British.
Both Elizabeth and Luke’s Estate received pensions for their role in the Revolutionary War (Revill, 1969; Accounts Audit, Frame 450-457; Accounts Audit, Frame 439-443).

Luke made out a will in October 1781 leaving his wife one third and his children two thirds of his “hole Astete” (Holcomb and Parker, 1978;WPA, Reel 14).
