Thank you for your information about the Clanton family that married into our Petty family.Absolom had a brother Thomas, who is my ggggrandfather.We are very interested in determining the connection between the Clanton and Petty families.They were neighbors in both Chatham Co NC and Union Co SC.
Absolom and Thomas's mother was named Martha.Unknown researchers have passed down the claim that Martha was a Clanton.Do you have any information on any Martha Clanton?or on Absolom's mother?
Here is the note I posted looking for Clanton connections:
Our Petty family was living near the Clanton Family in Chatham Co NC and Union Co SC. Many researchers list the wife of James Petty of Union Co SC as Martha Clanton. Some researchers say that James may have had a first wife that was Sarah Clanton, Martha's sister.
This idea of Martha being a Clanton is currently "on hold" as recent researchers can find no evidence to support Martha's maiden name as Clanton. Can any of you Clanton researchers assist us?
Basics: James PETTY, the son of Thomas and Katherine Petty was born ca 1719/21 in Richmond Co Va and died 9-27-1806 in Cherokee, Union Co SC. His will names Martha but gives no clue as to her maiden name.
We show Martha's info to be: born ca 1724 died 9-27-1806 Cherokee, Union Co SC married James Petty 1744 Orange Co VA. I have seen another listing as b. ca 1730, poss. Chatham NC.
James and family lived in Granvill CO NC, Orange Co VA, Bute Co NC, Chatham CO NC (originally Orange Co NC before divided) and Union Co SC. James and Martha named their oldest son Ambrose, 2nd son James Jr, 3rd son Absolom.
One known connection: Absolom Petty married Molly Clanton, daug of Charles Clanton of Union Co SC.
Absalom/Absolom PETTY was the son of James and Martha Petty and was born 1750 in Bedford, VA. Absolom died after 6-20-1801 in Union Co SC and was buried in Petty Cemetery Gaffney SC. His wife Mary Clanton (Molly) was born 5-1753 VA and died 6-27-1847 Spartanbury Co, SC br. Petty Cem, Gaffney, Cherokee, SC. Molly Clanton Petty remarried after Absolom's death to Wm. Richman.
Our Petty family shows their children to be:
