                                 Bart and Jake
       
       Bartholomew Pettit  and Sarah  Ann Butt were married in Muskingum
       Co. OH  on 4-17-1823.  The family appears on page 175 of the 1830
       census for Muskingum Co. (1 male to 5, 1 male 30-40, 2 females to
       5, 1  female 5-10,  1 female  20-30). The only Bartholomew Pettit
       found in  Ohio on  the 1840 census is for Delaware Co., page 212.
       The following is from the 1850 census, Delaware Co., page 303.

       Jacob Pettit  married Mary Stockdale, 3-28-1826, in Muskingum Co.
       He, too,  appears on  page 175 of the 1830 census for that county
       (Bush Creek  twp). There are two adults only listed that year for
       his household  (1 male  20-30, 1 female 30-40). Like Bartholomew,
       Jacob seems  to have  left Muskingum  Co. by  1840. By  chance, I
       found the  following on  the 1850 census for Licking Co. OH, page
       321.

       It seems  to me entirely likely that these two men were brothers.
       Does anyone  have  good  info  for  late  18th  century  Delaware
       Pettits?
