There is much more information available on both of these Nathan Pettits and they will be the topic of future posts.

Nathaniel H Pettit b. 1813 and Nathan Pettit b. 1792. Which one is the son of Joshua Pettit Jr. and Judith Pettit?

Many genealogist who descend from Nathaniel H. Pettit innocently but erroneously claim Joshua Pettit Jr. and his wife Judith Poole as their ancestor. If you are a descendant of Nathaniel H. Pettit of South Carolina relax but please read carefully. You're still connected to the SC Pettits, but probably not how you think!

Good news! This issue has now been settled with genetic testing too. The Pettit Pilgrim Y-DNA project has established that Nathaniel H. Pettit was not a descendant of Joshua Pettit and Judith Poole.
