"Obediah and Zedacia Pettit brothers of near Lynchburg, Va., came to Fayette Co. Ky about the beginning of the last century (1800). Obediah married Ann (surname unknown). Their children: Keturiah; Nathaniel married Rebecca Owens; William married Betsey Davis; Samuel married Elizabeth Bragg; Mary married Richard Roberts; Elizabeth married Francis Walden; John H. married Catherine M. a sister of Sarah Campbell; Thomas married Behethelon Owens."

Obadiah Pettit (Will Book 6, page 55, Fauquier Co., Va.) was from Somerset Co., NJ; his mother was Jane Furman Pettit. Her will, filed under her maiden name, is in the Somerset Co., NJ records (Vol. 5 NJ, Wills, 193-4, NJ Archives). The will dated 12 Dec. 1770, proved 1773, names sons, Obadiah and Zedekiah. These brothers migrated to Culpepper Co., Va. about 1770; Obadiah sold his land there in 1776 and bought land in Fauquier Co., Va.

Francis Waldron (sometimes misspelled Walden) married 12 Oct. 1795, Fauquier Co., Va. Nancy Ann, daughter of Obadiah Pettit and his spouse, Ann H. (probably Hedges). Shortly after their marriage Nancy and Francis Waldron moved to Brooke Co., Va. (now W. Va.) with two sisters of Nancy and their families: Mary Pettit Roberts and Spouse Richard; Elizabeth Pettit McDaniels, spouse, Joseph. In 1811 Francis and Nancy Pettit Waldron moved to Jefferson County, Ohio; she died there prior to 1833 and he in October 1835, in Bloomfield, Jefferson Co., where they were buried.

The will of John H. Pettit, dated 24 July 1830, proved 28 Feb. 1831, named wife, Catey and nephew John, son of Obadiah and Nancy A. Waldron (this will probably in Bloomfield Station, Jefferson Co., Ohio, is filed in Will Book 12, page 21, Fauquier Co., Va.)
