EXplanation of relationships in the Bible.
Revised 2003 by Virginia Loomis.

Page 1: Witnesses Salina and W. S. CHRISMAN are the sister and brother-in-law of Anna (CHRISMAN) MAY.
J. D. BENNETT may be another brother-in-law to Anna. Her sister, Sarah, did marry a James D. BENNETT.
Mary T. STEWART is a sister to W. W. Sallee.

Reverse of  Page 1: Wm. S. MORGAN is sister of Sarah (MAY) and Wm. Henry MORGAN. Sarah MAY was daughter of
Anna (CHRISMAN) and Caleb MAY. William H. MORGAN was son of Alamanda/Almeda (BEVERLY) and Alfred MORGAN.

George Harold and Grace Mae PETTIT are children of George Arthur PETTIT
and Anna Belle MORGAN, daughter of Wm. Henry.

Page 2: George A. PETTIT was the son of Mary Jane (HAMBRICK) and Wm. Amos PETTIT.
The seven PETTITs are children of G. A. and Anna Belle (MORGAN) PETTIT.

Reverse of Page 3: I have researched the SALLEE family only minimally but now (2003) know that Nancy
was a second wife. She was Nancy (THORNHILL) BAIRD/BEARD at her marriage to Benjamin in
Harrison County in 1817. Benjamin's children as named in his will are sons Henry and William,
and daughters Melvina (think this is an error by abstractor of will), Polly T., and Caty.

William W. SALLEE was the second husband of Anna (CHRISMAN) MAY. Luke and Alcy CHRISMAN
are her parents; Sarah MAY is her daughter. Sarah (MAY) and William Henry MORGAN are the parents
of Anna Belle, Wm. S., and Eva MORGAN. George Arthur PETTIT was the husband of Anna Belle MORGAN.

Nannie A. REED is a first cousin once removed to Wm. W. SALLEE. His mother was Nancy THORNHILL,
a sister to Lucy/Lucinda THORNHILL, who married Thos. C. CHILDERS and whose daughter Elizabeth
(W. W.'s first cousin) married a REED and had Nanny.
