I have been going through some more Chatham Co. Records and came upon thisFrom Chatham Co., NC Court of Pleas Minute Book, 1794-1800, page 275B - Aug 1800 - Letters of admin in the estate of Henry Sanders dec'd granted to Tilman Sanders, entered in to bond with Jesse Petty
I was thinking this was Martha Petty-Seymore-Sanders brother Jesse,but from my Aunt's information, and I noticed you have the same thing, he died about 1794-1795. It may have originated from the Petty Papers(? not sure).
So maybe this was John Petty's son Jesse? His wife was Martha Sanders. That I know of she wasn't related to Tilman, but maybe she was a first cousin of his...not sure. However, John Petty's wifeMartha was the Martha Petty that made a statement in Solomon Seymore's Pension File (for Martha Petty-Seymore-Sanders).

SELECTED RECORDS
* Solomon Seymour was corporal in Capt. William's Co. for 2 1/2 years.
* Martha died 25 Feb 1837
* Her surviving children are James Seymour, Britton Saunders, Sherwood Saunders & Elizabeth Brown
* James Seymore was 63 in Aug 1845 and he was the son and only child of Solomon & MarthaThere is some discrepancies in the statements as to when exactly Solomon died. The Pension File in the state above shows 1807-1808 - However, Chatham Co., NC probate records show that he was deceased by 1796, and deed records show that Martha & Tilman were married by 1803 (they were in court - along with her son James Seymore - in a dispute over a slave that her father William Petty sold, but that had belonged to Solomon Seymore, and they wanted the slave and her issue returned to them). So, the year of their marriage could definitely be off, but they supposedly married during the Rev. War, so it isn't off too much. sent by Melinda Mathis (memmathis at yahoo)
Hubert Petty researcher comments on William Petty's daughter Martha:
It seems that William Petty, who was considered a wealthy farmer in Chatham Co., NC was much displeased when his daughter Matrha, married Solomon Seymore. So much that he threatened to shoot Seymour on sight. A brother-in-law to Solomon convinced him to enlist in the service, as Petty would certainly kill him if he got the oportunity. Later in this desposition, it appears that William Peetty and his son-in-law became reconciled, and after the War ended, he William settled them on a tract of land on Deep River, near the mouth of Rocky River in Chatham County. Solomon died at that place, leaving Martha and one son, James Seymore. (John Petty)

From Researcher:
In the Revolutionary War Records on Heritage Quest, I found a Martha Seymour, widow of Solomon. A copy of their marriage bond is in the file, and she was Martha Petty. They were married in Chatham County in the 1770's. Then she married a Sanders/Saunders.
Named Britton Saunders in her mothers will.
The Rev. War Pension File of Solomon Seymore states that she was the daughter of William Petty, and that she and Solomon married abt 1775. (I have her estimated to be born about 1765, but even that only makes her 10, so I am not real sure about the year of that marriage, but that is what the record says.)

Speculation by Petty Researchers: John, Sharolyn and Barb:
In researching the Jean/Gean family of Chatham County North Carolina. In 1790 three Jean children were orphaned there, and Mary aged twelve was "bound" to a Solomon Seymour. I've tried tracing this Seymour family, as I believe they were neighbors of the Jeans, and I "think" Mary married the son James Seymour. Anyway, in the Revolutionary War Records on Heritage Quest, I found a Martha Seymour, widow of Solomon. A copy of their marriage bond is in the file, and she was Martha Petty. They were married in Chatham County in the 1770's. Then she married a Sanders/Saunders.
I haven't found any information on this Martha Petty, I find it interesting that she named her son James, and the Catherine Petty, daughter of James Petty, named her son Solomon Petty. I'm sure Martha is from this family, and like I said my interest is in finding out if her son James Seymour/Seymore married Mary Jean. The census have the Seymours indexed as Simons, Seymours, Semore, Seymore, etc. so it has been slow going

Thank you so much for your quick response. I am very enthused by your response. I have been looking for Anna for over ten (maybe 15) years now. It seems that I have gone through just about every Chatham Co, NC family with ties to Christian Co, KY.You said:
4. *Anna married William Moultrie (sic. she was married by 1800 (That fits your Anna) Was deeded a negro by her father who said *she was a Widow.* *So she was a widow by 1822 *
Does the deed list the name of the "Negro" deeded to Anna from her father? Was his name Tony? I have another record:"Jan. 7, 1843 papers filed in Buchanan Co., MO to free negro slave, Tony, signed by Anne, Gilford and Loyd MOUTRAY."
Again, I am so very excited by this news. I still need more research but I'm feeling a little bit confident that your Anna and my Anna are one in the same. It would be wonderful if it can be proved that "Tony" is the same guy given to Anna by her father, then freed by Anna.
