Descendants of William PETTICOAT

Descendants of William PETTICOATE of England and Anne Arundel Co., Maryland

Welcome to this web site which provides information on the descendants of William Petticoat of Anne Arundel Co., MD and his son John Petticoarte of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Cos., MD. The spelling of the name has taken many forms from the 1660s to today among them are Petticourt, Petticoarte, Peddicoarte, Peddicord, Peddycoard, Pettichord, Peddycord, Pettecord, & Petticord. There is one claim of hard evidence that John was William's son, in an Anne Arundel Co court document that is claimed to name guardians for John and Ruth, the orphans of William Peddicoate. . The information on this page has been compiled with the help of many researchers. There is still a lot we do not know. To help in this effort, a Peddicord genealogy research mailing list has been established on the internet. to subscribe to this list send an E-mail to Peddicord-L-request@rootsweb.com with the message "Subscribe".

Note: The data presented on this site is a combination of factual data, accepted lineages, and hypothesis, so not everything may be correct. If you have questions about particular people or comments, let me know. It has been difficult to find documented proof of relationships in many cases, particularly from 1750-1850. I suspect in some cases there just is none existant. Some of the relationships given are based on various clues, including geographic locations. There are listings for over 4000 descendants of William Petticoate on this website.

Some newer data comes from information about the recollections of Laura Peddicord (b. 6 Feb 1849) the daughter of Charles C. Peddicord, provide some insight on the children of Morris Peddicord and Keturah Bond, her grandparents. Previous unknown without her data is there was son named Joshua who went west and not heard from again. Otherwise, the information confirms what we have long suspected on this branch of the family. One interesting point, is that based on the surrounding persons in the 1810 census around Morris Petticord, he appears to be living in the same neighborhood where a Dorsey Peticoat is listed in the 1790 census of Baltimore County.
Based on ca. 1912 letters of Ida Ford daughter of Zachariah Peddicord of OH to William Jasper Peddicord of Portland OR., it can be stated that Dorsey Peddicord (1777-1853) was the eldest sibling of: Joshua, Caleb, Zachariah, Nicholas, Humphrey, and Perry Peddicord. However, Mrs. Ford states her father did not know his grandfather's name. However, based on the 1790 census of Baltimore Co., MD the likely father is Humphrey and the mother Rachel Barnes. There is proof that Caleb b. 21 Dec 1778 was the son of a Rachel Peddicord. This letter also establishes which of Dorsey's children where by Ann Banks (first wife) and Elizabeth Brown (second wife).
A fresh look at the census indicates that Adam Peddicord and Catharine Fowble probably had several children born between 1810 and 1820. Possibly these children could include: Thomas Petticord who married in Howard dist of Anne Arundel County to Susan Kendal , David Petticord and John Petticord, the latter two are found in Allegheny Co., PA, but where born in MD as was Thomas.

Recent Research over the past two years has included work on going through the recent census records methodically looking for all soundex entries under Peddicord to find most everyone in the census, and also indentify the families of Peddicord daughters, and also where possible the parents and familie of spouses. However there still are a number of persons that seem lost in census records. Particularly frustrating are cases where we find marriage or other records of persons that do not appear in the census data.
