James Pettigrew, sometimes known as "James 2nd", one of two sons of James Pettigru, who emigrated from France to Scotland in 1648.

"James Pettigrew 2nd and his brother, John Pettigrew, were two descendants of James Petigru, a Huguenot native of France who emigrated from France to Scotland in about 1648. James served as an officer in the army of Oliver Cromwell, and we have no knowledge of John. James Pettigrew II, and his brother, John, who were residents of Glasgow, Scotland, may have been sons or grandsons of James Petigru of France."
"James Pettigrew 2nd married a Scottish Lady, Martha Moore, and may have settled in Ireland as early as about about 1660, but there is no evidence that James II was in Ireland prior to 1690. He was an officer (some say that he was a Colonel) in the army of King William III, when the rebel forces under King James were defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. James Pettigrew 2nd received a grant of 300 acres near Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, for his services. The "Crilly House" was built on this estate."
"The name Petigru most probably stems from "petit grue" in French, meaning "little crane" (crane refers to the long-necked, long-legged bird, in the family gruidae, known as a crane), and James apparently anglicized his name to "Pettigrew" to downplay his French origins among his wife's family. Various descendants in both Ireland an in America have used the supposed original French spelling, "Petigru". However, the author of these web pages has not found the names Pettigrew, Petigru, Peticru, or Peticrue in 17th century France, there is some speculation that its origins are elsewhere, or from some other name. The name "peticru" is found in 14th century London, and various other close phononyms of the name are found in Scotland and England, at locations ranging from Edinburgh to Cornwall. It is not known to what extent, if any, that these various names are in lines related to that of James Pettigrew II."

Married Martha Moore, possibly titled as a "Lady", of Scotland. James and Martha had children:

1. William Pettigrew (b. before 1713, possibly 1706; d.1781-1790), who inherited the "Crilly House" in Tyrone County. He married Margaret Kerr (or Ker) of County Monaghan, daughter of Andrew Kerr (or Ker).

4. James Pettigrew (1713-1784), known as James Pettigrew, III. Married Mary Cochran in Ireland.
5. Charles Pettigrew; who lived at Carrenagat, and probably died unmarried.
6. Samuel Pettigrew, Captain in the British Navy, died in Gibraltar c1780. According to William's letter: "Samuel entered the Army, and fell, while yet young, in battle ... Samuel got a Captain's commission, was at Gibraltar and died there."
