Father*: John Bullock Pettit¹ b. 20 Feb 1825, d. 15 Jun 1906
Mother*: Delana B Wasson¹ b. 1 Oct 1830, d. 25 Oct 1867

He was born on 22 December 1849 in New York, USA. The headstone indicates he was born in 1852 but he appears (age 0) in the 1850 census, so I am assuming he was actually born in 1849.^2,3,1
He was the son of John Bullock Pettit and Delana B Wasson.¹
He died on 3 July 1881 probably in Nebraska, USA, at age 31.^4,1
He was buried after 3 July 1881 in Blair Cemetery, Blair, Washington, Nebraska, USA.⁵

Census Information

He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Sterling, Cayuga, New York, USA, in the household of his parents, John Bullock Pettit and Delana B Wasson.³
He appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Essex, Stark, Illinois, USA, in the household of his parents, John Bullock Pettit and Delana B Wasson.⁶

Family: Hannah Marie Thorndike b. 30 May 1852, d. 14 Jan 1939

He married Hannah Marie Thorndike, daughter of James Thorndike and Ellen Davidson, on 8 February 1876; This is not consistant with the 1930 census which lists her age at first marriage as 20. Possibly she was married prior to James Pettit or the marriage date may be in error.^8,1
