About John A. Petty, Jr

I can only think of what Groucho Marx said when a man told him he had sired xxx (some large number) of children. Groucho replied, "Well, I love my cigar, but I do take it out of my mouth once in a while." It would appear that this man fathered 19 children by the same woman.



Calculated cousin of John H. Petty (b 1801 ca.) due to Name & Location. Needs additional proof.


John A. Petty, Jr. married Betty Elizabeth Dawson in 1820.
