Joshua Pettit, Increase Pettit and Martha Greene, a Rich English Lady from Barton Regis to Jamaica, NY
This folder contained a well preserved letter dated November 29, 1861, addressed to Mr. L. P. Nostrand in New York from a G. W. Pettit. It begins with a man named Joshua Pettit who was from Springfield, Long Island, NY. According to the letter, Joshua Pettit married a “rich English lady” and was the father of an Increase Pettit. In this paper we will compare this newly discovered letter to a deed found in Bristol England from the Ashton Court estate which may explain the source of some of these forgotten legends.
