John P. Pettit; born 15 Sep 1867; died 20 Dec 1938; buried here; no grave marker photo shown.
5. Facebook Posting by Teri Pettit; Family Group Sheet Notes.
"John spelled his last name “Petit” in his first marriage record and in the 1900 and 1910 censuses, but his second marriage record says “Pettit”. His sons Roscoe and Frank used the Petitt spelling, as do Roscoe’s descendants, but most of Frank’s male line descendants use the Pettit spelling, as do most of the descendants of his second marriage, to Ty Trent."HIs gravestone in Ieager Cemetery , next to Ty’s, spells his name John P. Pettit, with the dates Sep 15, 1867 - Dec 20, 1938.
"Jessie Petitt bible1 has entry "Joney Pettit was Born September the 15th 1867", and another entry "Johnie Petitt died Dec 20, 1938". A more recent letter from Lila Chadwell, probably based on the bible entries, since the names are listed in the same order, says instead "Johnie Petitt borned February 15-1861 Died Dec. 20 1938". He is not in the Kentucky death index, which probably means he died in West Virginia. But Fay Beck says that there is no death certificate on file for him in McDowell Co., either, so it must have been another county."
"Rowan Co. marriage book 7, p. 456, records marriage on 5 Oct 1911 of John Pettit, 45, s/o Preston & Mary Pettit (spelled that way), to Nickety Trent, 33, b. W. Va., d/o Harvey & Rena Trent, by Harvey Trent at his house, witnesses Rena Trent & Harvey Trent Jr., bond surety by W. T. Caudill. It is marked as a second marriage for John, and his residence is given as "east Virginia."
"Aunt Oly says that "Uncle Johnnie's boys" lived in West Va., near Stark. By this she must mean his sons by Ty, as Frank and Roscoe lived in Morehead. Stark is a tiny community at the end of state road 17, near the small town of Jeffrey, in Boone Co.
"Except where other records are explicitly mentioned, all the information I have on the family of Johnnie and Nickety is from Fay Horn Beck of Bluefield, Virginia, a daughter-in-law of Johnnie's son William A. Pettit.
"All three of Johnnie and Tye's sons were born while he was still officially married to Malissa Clark."
