Notes for William S. & Martha Eunice (Family)
This family is in my database to document the parents of Ida Betsy York who married Samuel Pettit. It is not a complete family group. They had 11 children; at this time I am entering only Ida and her brothers Charles and Walter, because they both lived with Ida or her children at various times.
