e-3 Dorothula PETTY born in Dekalb Co., Tenn. 1849.

f-3 Mary Frances.

g-3 Louella born July 7, 1859. and

h-3 William Alonzo PETTY born Dec.3,1861 and

i-3 Evalina PETTY born before 1859. There is some mystery connected with this one which I never did unravel. She was said to have dissappeared under mysterious circumstances, never to be heard of again.

b-3 - Thomas PETTY was a Confederate soldier - that makes four Thomas PETTYS that I recall at the moment, who fought for their Southern homes. He was born in Dekalb Co., Tenn. 1843. He married and raised a family in Union Co., Ky. but I did not learn anything about them. I remember seeing him once when I was a child. He was a handsome old fellow with long, snow-white beard.

e-3 Dorothula Clementine PETTY born March 4, 1849 - died March 14, 1940 - married William BULLARD born Oct. 1844 - died Jan 28, 1914.

Children:

1-e Robert Lee BULLARD born Smith Co., Tenn. Oct. 24, 1872 - died Aug. 1929 - married Jan. 7, 1899 to Emma KEMP. Children: Sallie, Odell, Raymond, Bessie, Marie and Iona BULLARD.

2-e Mary BULLARD born Smith Co., Tenn. Sept. 29, 1875 - died Mar. 1, 1951 - married Oct.1, 1898 to Newton WEST. Children: Estelle WEST and Claud WEST.

3-e Henry BULLARD born Oct. 5, 1877 - died May 31, 1913. Married twice - 1st to Maud ____ and they had a son Doyle BULLARD. He then married Cornelia CORNWELL and they had Henry BULLARD Jr.

4-e Edna BULLARD born May 11, 1879 - died May 30, 1963. Married to John LAW. Children: Carrie, Myrtle, Mabel and William (Billy) LAW. Myrtle LAW was a beautiful girl - one of my school-girl friends. She married a man named _____ LAMBERET and I lost touch with her. I was amazed to see her name turn up here as I did not know of her connection with the PETTY family.

5-e Clara BULLARD born Sept. 18, 1881 - died June 18, 1958. Married William H. BROWN. Children: Ethel and Herman BROWN.

6-e David BULLARD bron Oct.3, 1883 - died June 4, 1957. Married Emily KEMP. Children: Roy, Irene, Glenn, Beulah, and Aline BULLARD. (6)

7-e Charles BULLARD born April 3, 1885 - died Aug.21, 1963. He married Maggie BOHANNON and they had a large family. Their children: Grace M., Mary B., E.H., James, Althea, Robert Lee, Edward, Patty, Beatrice, Terre, Frances and Donald BULLARD.

8-e Elijah BULLARD born Jan.12, 1887 - died Aug. 30, 1965. Married Dec. 23, 1914 to Sallie GREGG. Their children: Hazel, Ivy and Ralph BULLARD.

9-e Marshall BULLARD born Feb.25, 1889 - married Ethel TAYLOR. Information about Dotothula Petty Bullard's family was given by Mrs. R.B. Cowan, a daughter of David BULLARD. We are very sorry that she neglected to give us anything about her own family.

f-3 There appears to be some confusion about this daughter of William and Elizabeth DUNLAP PETTY - but the best I am able to learn is that Mary Frances PETTY born about 1857 in Tenn. married a man named _______ Patterson. Moved with him to Oklahoma where she raised a family and lived and died there. None of the family seemed to know much about her.

g-3 Louella PETTY born July 7, 1859 - died Jan.14,,1944 at Monoville, Tenn. where she had lived for most of her life. She was the 3rd wife of Henry HACKETT. They had nine children all born near Monoville, Tenn. In Smith Co. and all grew up there and many of their descendants still live in Smith Co. For some reason it was hard for me to get the statistics on this family - however, I do have some. The children of Louella and Henry Hackett:

1-g Joseph HACKETT born Nov.16, 1883. Went to California when a young man, lived and died there.

2-g David C. HACKETT born Feb.12, 1885 -died at Riddleton,, Tenn. Aug.13, 1967. He married Maggie HIETT and they had several children: Henry HACKETT II, Ernest HACKETT, Mary Eunice HACKETT who married a Mr. CAPLEANOR, Lena HACKETT married Glenn HARLAN, two other daughters Mrs. Bill MYKETTA and Mrs. WILSON BATES and two other sons Randal and C.E. HACKETT .

3-g Lowe HACKETT Born Oct.9,1886 - married Una ROBERTS.

4-g Milton D. HACKETT born Aug.25, 1889 - married Hetty BEASLEY. They had a son named Clifton and a daughter named Beatrice and I think there were other children.

5-g Eva Mai HACKETT born Aug3,1891 - md Wm. ROBERTS (7) Eva Mai HACKETT ROBERTS died Sept. 21, 1967.

6-g William Winship HACKETT born April 15, 1893 married Jewell SMITH.

7-g Annie HACKETT born July 7, 1896 - married Harrison SNODDY.

8-g Pearl HACKETT born June 29, 1898 - married Elston GREGORY.

9-g Samantha C. HACKETT born Oct.21, 1901 - married Lucas RUSSELL and this couple had no children. It is my impression that most of the other children of Louella and Henry HACKETT did have children.

h-3 William Alonzo PETTY born Dec.3, 1861 - died Dec. 23, 1955. He was married Sept.26, 1886 to Julie B. KNIGHT. They had children: William T. born 1888; Walter E., Stanton, Haskel, Zollie, Charlie, Austin, Aletha, Ruby who married Lillard POPE and Effie who married Alfred SMITH.
