As usual, very well researched and presented to the reader. Love it!!

Also of note on the YDNA front is the possibility of properly placing Ashford Pettit in this family. Ashford (1814-1894) b. in Spartanburg, SC lived most of his adult life in Calhoun County, Alabama. Strong paper research suggests he was the oldest son of Nathan Pettit and subsequently grandson of Joshua Pettit/Judith Poole. A YDNA test has been completed on a male descendant of Ashford's and if the YDNA SNP gods smile upon us we may get a genetic match between Ashford and the Joshua/Judith test taker. That would cinch it!!
