Thomas Petty II, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Thomas Petty II might describe his life as follows. |
 |
There is little for me to say. I married Elizabeth Moore in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, 24 August 1727.  |
|
When Elizabeth’s mother made her will in 1743, she left £4 to each of our daughters Ann, Lavinia, and Elizabeth Petty, but unfortunately, I don’t know what happened of them. |
|
I was a resident of Lunenburg County when I deeded 150 acres in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County, to my brother-in-law Francis Moore 16 February 1756. |
|
The four men named Petty who settled in part of Lunenburg County that became Charlotte County were likely our sons: Francis Moore Petty, William Petty, Joseph Petty, and John Petty. Since John and William were Baptists, I may have been, too. |

|
The marriage record for Thomas Petty in North Farnham Register says his wife was Elizabeth Doon, and, indeed, a Dunn family was in the parish. Yet everything else points to her being Elizabeth Moore. |
