The Pettigrew Family
Sketch of the Pettigrew Family as Given by William Pettigrew,
Youngest son of James Pettigrew III
As you wish to know something of the origin of your family, I will give you as good an account as I can.
My great-grandfather (James Petigru, b. Abt. 1613) left France for the sake of his religion in the time of King Louis XIV, and was an officer in Cromwell's Army. He had two sons, John and James (b. Abt. 1659). As to John, we have very little account given of him.
James (Pettigrew II, b. Abt. 1659, SCOTLAND) married Martha Moore, a Scotch lady. He settled in Ireland and was an officer in King William's army at the Battle of the Boyne (1690). After the peach took place, he was given a tract of land of 300 acres in County Tyrone on what was called the Blackwater where he lived and died. 7 sons and 2 daughters: William, James (my father), Robert, Charles, John, Samuel. One died young.
William was the eldest. He had three sons. His oldest son, James, held a Captain's commission, was with Howe at the Battle of Brandywine, and was badly wounded.
Robert, the third son, was a Doctor of Physics, and said to be eminent. Charles never married. John had a large family. Samuel got a Captain's commission, was at Gibraltar and died there.
My father had a classical education, but never went to college. In his 18th or 19th year, he married Mary Cochran, the daughter of Capt. George Cochran who lived at a place called the Grange. After having four children, he left all of his friends and came to American in November 1741. He landed at New Castle.
His oldest child was a daughter named Rachel after her grandmother with whom she stayed. My father became acquainted with Dr. Franklin, who wished him to study physics, which he declined, but got a tract of 300 acres on March Creek in Pennsylvania where he lived until he was broken up by the War of 1755. Shortly after Braddock's defeat, he sold his land for 80 pounds and removed into Virginia to Lunenburg Old Court House, and rented a piece of land. There I was born in 1758 (26 Feb 1758). After staying there three or four years we removed into Granville Co, NC, bought 300 acres of land from Mr. Howell Lewis.
Before he left Pennsylvania, he sent for his daughter Rachel, but she died at sea. His next oldest child, Martha, married a Mr. John Witherspoon. She had a large family. Likewise his son, John, married Sarah Matthews. Mary, his third daughter, who is now alive, married a Mr. John Verner. These were all married before we left Virginia. When he came to North Carolina, he had James, Charles, George, Ebenezer, William, Jane, Elizabeth and Nancy. These were all single. James went to the (illegible in copy), Charles to school. The rest of us stayed at home.
Hearing a good account of Long Cane (Abbeville District, SC), my father sold out, and set out in the latter end of October 1768 for South Carolina, where we landed after three weeks traveling. Jane, about this time, married Stephen Tilly. Charles had a school in Edenton so that our family was but small. We settled on what was called Jews' land, about 6 or 7 miles above Abbeville Court House. We lived there until 1775 when we removed to land bought of John Du upon Little River, now in the possession of Peter Brown.
Our land being good, we made good crops, our stock increased very fast, and my father and mother enjoyed themselves quite comfortably until the war commenced, which did affect us until the Indians broke out on 1st of July 1776. The alarm was great. Capt. Smith and family, all but two sons, were killed. The whole country was in a great bustle to get a place of safety which we found at Mr. James Noble's fort, commanded by Patrick Calhoun, Esq. As the family did not stay long in the fort, they soon got home. I was taken to camp. Everything went on very well and better than we had the right to expect until the year 1779. James Pettigrew, the son of John, better known as "Long Jim", brought up the camp fever from Stono. My father had him brought to him home where he lay 2 or 3 weeks, but at last recovered. My youngest sister, Nancy, was taken with the same kind of fever. I was obliged to join camp on the 8th of August. She was ill at the time, but we did not think in great dancer, not March until the 11th, then we set out for the middle ground between the Cherokee and Creek Indians. When I was about 100 miles out from the habitation, I was overtaken by Gen., Anderson who told me my sister died the very day we marched from our encampment on the Lower Dam?? in Georgia. I wished to turn back, but Gen. Pickens would not hear of it. I wore four solitary weeks before my return. The last day and night I rode about 61 miles, still in hopes the news might not be true, but I found it much worse than I had heard, for my other sister, Elizabeth, lay at the point of death, and died the day after my arrival, 15th September. This was a serious shock to the family as there was no white person left with my parents but myself. But I have dwelt long enough on the distressing. I will now give a short account of the other side of the family.
My grandfather, George Cochran, was married to Rachel Higginbotham. He had 2 sons and 2 daughters. His oldest son, Robert, died young with the small pox. William lived to be old, enjoyed a small post under the government, but was not happy in his marriage.
My great-grandfather, Robert Cochran, is mentioned in the history of those times. He was a Captain of Dragoons, was in the memorable siege of Derry (1689) where they all like to have died of famine before they got relief. It is recorded of him that he went through the body of King James' Army, sword in hand, after his horse was shot under him, and he shot through the leg, and that he killed two French generals though he always said he killed only one, Gen. M???. He was a good soldier, there is no doubt.
My grandfathers on both sides were old. One had 94, the other 96 marked on his tombstone. I have given you a small sketch of your ancestors which may be an amusement in a vacant hour, and I hope you will always conduct yourself in such a manner that it will be a pleasure to some friend to write your history, and I wish it may be handed down to posterity.
A Pettigrew Family History
Compiled by
James T. Pettigrew
1972In the search through genealogy sites, and through a wide and varied correspondence, James Thomas Pettigrew of Tupelo, Ms., has in the latter years of his life gathered this material for posterity of the Pettigrew family.
"Our family, The Pettigrew, dates back to about 1474, as near as I have been able to ascertain from Huguenot history in France." One, Matthew Petigru (the original spelling of the name in France) was shown in 1496 as holding lands under The Archbishop of Glasgow under King James IV of Scotland. An estimated 20,000 French Huguenots were massacred in Paris, France in 1565 at the order of the Queen Mother. The Petigru's left France due to the heavy persecution of Protestants. Most of the family settled in England and Ireland, and later migrated to America. The family was almost exterminated at this time. The first known ancestor was an officer in the army of Oliver Cromwell. His name was James Petigru. This James sired a son, James Petigru who became an officer in the army of King William II of England. He served as an officer in The Battle of the River Boyne, 1681. Due to the unfriendliness between England and France, and after peace was declared, the family chose to change the spelling of Petigru to Pettigrew. King William II granted to James Pettigrew a tract of 300 acres in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. On this acreage James Pettigrew built his home in 1682 and named it, "The Crilly House." The large stone and slate home of three stories, was occupied by Pettigrew families until 1945 when the Pettigrew family became extinct in the area. "The Crilly House" at the present date, 1972, is owned by a family named Vaughan. This James Pettigrew, the second one listed to this date, 1682, married Martha Moore in 1682. Nine children were born to this union. Among the nine, was a son, James Pettigrew, born April 1713 at the Irish estate, "The Crilly House." This James, the third mentioned to date, was sent to Trinity College in Dublin to study medicine. After two years of study, he eloped with Mary, the daughter of Captain George and Rachel (Higgenbotham) Cochran of "The Grange." Mary was the prize winning beauty at Trinity College. In 1743 the couple sailed for America to seek their fortune. They were accompanied by three of their children, one daughter and two sons. The oldest daughter was left at "The Crilly House" with her grandmother, but died in later years aboard ship, en route to America to join the family in Pennsylvania. This James Pettigrew (1713) is the first American ancestor of the Pettigrew lineage that has been traced and established. James with his wife, Mary, and three children, landed at New Castle, Delaware and pushed into Pennsylvania where he secured 300 acres of land on Marsh Creek, near the present location of Chambersburg. He is said to have been of a daring disposition and adventurous. Somewhere near the year 1744 he became very religious. He was well acquainted with the notables of the time, one of whom, was Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who strongly advised James Pettigrew to continue his career in medicine. The family remained in Pennsylvania until 1756, then moved to Virginia, and settled later in North Carolina and later moved into South Carolina where he spent the closing years of his life. An interesting episode in the lives of this family is told. James Pettigrew, after his return to religion, became so strict in the observance of the Sabbath that he allowed no cooking to be done on that day. It is to this interesting bit of history, that his family averted being massacred by Indians along with all the other inhabitants of the village. It is supposed that the Indians upon seeing no smoke coming from his chimney, presumed the home unoccupied. To this union 13 children were born, 12 of whom, six boys and six girls, reached maturity. The fifth child, Charles Pettigrew, born 1743, the first child to have been born to the union in America, was born in Pennsylvania. But life on the Pennsylvania frontier became so perilous, and after Braddock's defeat in 1755, James Pettigrew moved his family to Lunenburg County, Virginia. His last and 13th child, William Pettigrew, was born in Virginia in 1758. Later James Pettigrew moved his family to Greenville, N. C. where he remained 10 years. He gave the land in this area for the establishment of a Presbyterian Church. In 1768, James Pettigrew and family reached "Long Cane Settlement" about seven miles above Abbeville Court House, South Carolina. They remained in this locality for four years. In 1773, James Pettigrew bought a farm in what is known as "flat section": of Abbeville District, situated on Little River, South Carolina. An outbreak among the Cherokee Indians in 1776 forced all the settlement folk to abandon their plantations, and seek safety in the Huguenot Fort of James Noble, which was commanded by Patrick Calhoun, father of John C. Calhoun. Settlers were able to return to enjoy life on the plantations after a short time, until the American Revolution swept to the locality in 1779. James Pettigrew III was a Whig. He served the Colonial troops in the Revolutionary Army with several of his sons, sons-in-law and grandsons. At the age of 71 he died on December 24, 1784. His wife survived him by two years and died October 7, 1786. The written declaration for Revolutionary pension of James Pettigrew III is on file in the Pension Bureau of Washington D.C. The record shows him to have been a grandson of James Pettigrew, Sr., and also show him to have had a brother, William Pettigrew. In the land records in the secretary of state's office at Columbia, South Carolina, there is the following group of records: James Pettigrew, Granville County, S. Carolina on Calhoun's Creek, 250 acres, June 19, 1772, Vol. 26, Page 48; James Pettigrew, Granville County, S. Carolina, on Lone Cane, 300 acres, July 8, 1774, Vol. 31, Page 363; James Pettigrew, Granville County, S. Carolina, Long Cane, 150 acres, September 30, 1774. The will of James Pettigrew III is recorded in Book I, page 14, "Wills of Abbeville District, S. Carolina." The will was made December 18, 1784, a matter of a few days before he died. The will was proven July 7, 1789. The will mentions his children and wife, Mary. Children mentioned are Martha, who married a Witherspoon, John Pettigrew, Mary Pettigrew Verner, Jean Pettigrew Tilley, Hames Pettigrew, George Pettigrew, one dollar each, if demanded. Land to sons, Ebenezer and William Pettigrew. William Pettigrew qualified as administrator on November 29, 1788. THE CHILDREN OF JAMES PETTIGREW (1713-1784) AND MARY COCHRAN PETTIGREW

by Jack Leland, Evening Post Writer
Charleston, South Carolina
Page 1-B, May 21, 1968"Born at Abbeville, May 10, 1789. Died at Charleston, March 9th, 1863. Jurist. Orator. Statesman. Patriot."
"Future times will hardly know how great a life this simple stone commemorates-"
"The tradition of his Eloquence, his Wisdom and his Wit may fade; But he lived for ends more durable than fame, His Eloquence was the protection of the poor and wronged; His learning illuminated the principles of Law-"
"In the admiration of his Peers, In the respect of his People, in the affection of his Family, His was the highest place; The just meed of his kindness and forbearance, His dignity and simplicity, His brilliant genius and his unweared industry."
"Unawed by Opinion, Unseduced by Flattery, undismayed by Disaster, He confronted life with antique courage and Death with Christian Hope."
"In the great Civil War He withstood his people for his Country, But His People did homage to the man who held his conscience higher than their praise. And his country Heaped her honors on the living, His own righteous self respect sufficed alike for Motive and Reward."
"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail or knock the breast; nothing but well and fair And what may quiet us in a life so noble."THE RECORD OF JOHN PETTIGREW (1736-1806) THE THIRD SON OF JAMES PETTIGREW AND MARTHA COCHRAN PETTIGREW
