My great
grandparents Daniel Webster Petty (1843-1913) and Sarah Jane Garrett Petty (1850-1929).
Daniel was
born in North Carolina, son of Elijah and Letty Lewis Petty. In 1849 his mother Letty Lewis died and the
family moved to Fannin County, Georgia, where he grew up in and married Sarah
Jane 1873.
Daniel, in the Civil War enlisted- Confederate Army Co B, 65th
Regiment, Ga. Infantry. In the CSA he
spent a lot of time in hospitals with stomach disorders - probably because of
all his hospital time he switched over to orderly.
The Daniel Webster Petty moved
his family to Murray County, Georgia, in 1890.
Sarah Jane
Garrett Petty was born in Fannin County,
daughter of
Joseph and Nancy Elizabeth Mashburn.
Some of her grandchildren (my mother's generation) believed Sarah Jane
was a epileptic and other believed she drank too much. She was known to, if a grandkid, got within her
reach, she would grab the kid and shake him or her.
