THE PETEETS: RUTH(2) 1722-1760

Ruth was the youngest child, born about 1722, probably in Pennsylvania or New Jersey before the family came to Maryland. She married John Peteet, before 1743, probably in Frederick Co., VA. The name, given by the will of John Chenoweth, was Petit, but recent discoveries have found that the common usage was Peteet or Poteet. It is believed that Ruth and John had at least five children. Most of the line presently known goes through Richard John Peteet, the youngest son, who accompanied his father John to North Carolina and then moved on to Wilkes Co., GA. There are indications that others of the family went north to Maryland. It maybe that a daughter, Hannah, married John Haile, in the line of the same Haile family that married into the lines of Ruth's brother, Richard. The link to these Hailes of Richard(2) is Thomas Hale s/o John Haile & Hannah Poteet, though is not proven. Thomas Hale married Elizabeth Chenoweth, a daughter of John(3) and Francis Haile. Elizabeth and Thomas were Hale cousins, but it is possible they were Chenoweth cousins as well.

Mary Peteet, another daughter, married Thomas Vaughn on December 15, 1763 in Baltimore Co., MD. One of their children went to Pennsylvania.

It is known that John Peteet, the father, and his son, John Richard, went to North Carolina after the Revolutionary War. John Richard is thought to have served in the Revolution from Virginia. This migration to the Deep South is unique in the family, and presents an interesting "southern" line to the Chenoweth family. John Richard eventually settled in Wilkes Co., GA. It is thought that Ruth may have died in the 1760s well before her husband, John, who died in 1788 in Caswell Co., NC. [Harris text]
