Notes for Marguerite Pettit
The Kentucky birth index lists Margurite Pettit, born 9 Jan 1920 in Grant Co., mother’s maiden name Monta Jump.
Her death certificate records an unnamed infant female, age 16 days, born 11 Jan 1920 in Ky, died 27 Jan 1920, father Griffin Pettet, mother’s maiden name Montana Jump, both born in Ky, cause of death infection through umbilical cord causing septic peritonitis, informant C. A. Eckler, Dry Ridge, Ky. (This certificate is indexed in the Kentucky Death Index as Griffin Pettet II. Apparently the convention when for indexing a birth or death of an unnamed infant was to record it in the index under the father’s full name.)
Her gravestone has her birthdate as 10 January, which is in between the date in the birth index (most likely a delayed filing, since she had been given a name by then) and the date on the death certificate.
