The Pettit Page

I began publishing The Pettit Correspondent in 1988. The experience was extremely rewarding but, three and a half years later, I had to abandon it due to other commitments. A couple of years later I started publishing the less ambitious Pettit Letter but, after only four issues, found that I didn't have time for that either. Below are links to the eleven issues of TPC and the four issues of The Pettit Letter.

THE PETTIT / MELLOWS Y-DNA PROJECT

Any male Pettit descendant of Thomas Pettit and Christian Mellows having Y-DNA test results is welcome to submit those results to this project. In your FTDNA account, scroll down to the Y-DNA results, click on "Y-STR Results." At the very bottom, right, click on the orange CSV button next to "Download." The file can be included in an email to me at michael.cooley@humboldt.edu. If possible, please include your lineage to your earliest known ancestor in this manner:

Elias Pettit (-c1792)
Thomas Pettit (c1767-1840+)
Joseph Pettet (c1815-1880+) m Elizabeth Mohler
Amelia Mohler Pettit (1846-1930) Greenberry Cooley

McCabe Cooley (1899-1958) m Marie Henrietta Hennequin

The lineage will be displayed at the above Lineages page. Those living will be hidden.
