Notes for James W. Pettit
The 1900 census gives his birthdate as Feb 1847, but he was recorded as age 6 in 1850 and age 17 in 1860, so he was probably really born about 1844, give or take a year.
Notes for James W. & Frances (Family)
The name of James’ wife is from their granddaughter, Sylvia Pettit Welch, daughter of Asa.
Census
I cannot find this family in the 1870 census.
