"James Madison Pettigrew had a confectionary store, in 1860, opposite the Lexington Hotel on Main Street. The store was below the Samuel (G.) Pettigrew Photographic Gallery, who had photographed VMI's Professor Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson in 1857."

"On the 1860 Lexington, VA census, I found confectioner James M Pettigrew, 42; Jane Ann, 37; Mary V, 15; Hannah F, 11; Sally H, 8; Charles, 6; Anna J, 4; Samuel G(amble), 2 and Hannah (Gamble) Pettigrew, 70, all VA born."

"Native, Jas Wm McClung surveyed and wrote about many Rockbridge Co., VA homes and buildings for the WPA in the mid 1930's. It included the home of Jas M Pettigrew, on Jefferson Street in Lexington ("E. side of Jefferson Street in the block between Washington and Nelson Streets"), report #ROC396. It was a 2 story rectangular home with chimneys on either end, built in about 1825 by James Gold, on the original Borden Land Grant of 1783. Gold deeded it to James on 2 Mar 1855 in Rockbridge Deed Book EE, p 10. After he died his executor and son Samuel sold it to Robert Glasgow and S. C. Campbell on 19 Feb 1919. James and then his son Samuel ran an old fashioned candy store on Main Street, for about for 75 to 80 years. It carried a large selection of kids toys and it was a big hit. The WPA report includes a photograph, though it was a rental property and a bit run down at that time."

From Bev Kline:

There may be middle name confusion involving two different James Pettigrews. Buried in Stonewall Jackson Cemetery, Lexington, Rockbridge Co. VA are:

• James Madison Pettigrew b. 2 May 1818, d. 25 Feb 1892
• Mrs. J.A. Pettigrew (w/o JMP) b. 19 Apr 1823, d. 6 May 1895; (nee Jane Ann Varner)

The above James was son of Samuel and Hannah (Gamble) Pettigrew. That Samuel was son of John and Mary (Ward). That John was one of five sons of James Petticrew/Pettycrew, who emigrated to Rockbridge Co. from Dauphin Co. PA. John and family adopted Pettigrew spelling in 1810's.

James W. Pettigrew was a different person from James Madison Pettigrew. James W. appears in Botetourt Co. 1850 census as a slaveholder, and 1870 and 1880 census in Campbell Co. Calculating from census records, he was born in 1812.

From "Botetourt County Marriages, 1770-1853" by Vogt & Kethley. Vol. I, pg. 237: James W. Pettigrew & Mary H.T. Newell, 2 Feb 1839; d/o Nancy, bond John S. Martin, wit- Alfred A. Eskridge, min- Henry H. Paine (Presby.), married 5 Feb 1839.

If the middle name of this James W. is truly Ward, then maybe he is also a descendant of John and Mary (Ward) Petticrew/Pettigrew, perhaps a son.
