Hello! Anyone out there familiar with the Tiptonville,Tennessee area? I'm looking for ANY info on the Pettis family. My father was Mack Brewer Pettis. I also have an aunt, Ophelia. Anything would help as my parents divorced when I was 7 and my mother wouldn't give me much info on my Dad.
Hi. publicrecordsnow.com shows a Mack Pettis, age 68, is either living or has lived at an address in South Haven, Michigan. Note that sites such as these may have ages automatically calculate as time goes by, so sometimes, it's not unusual to see ages such as that of 109. You would have to pay a small fee for more info. Another site shows a divorce in 2001 for an Ophelia Pettis Leon, with minor children. Just type in her name in a regular google search and you will see it come up.
Thanks for the help guys. I should have been a lot more specific. My dad died in 1976. I'm looking for whatever family is left in that area. I have his birthdate and his SSN but can't seem to find much if any documentation, and what info I do have I found by accident. Although, it is nice to know that people like you are out there and willing to help. Thanks again!
I couldn't find anyone with that last name in the town you listed and was not able to find any connections. Sorry.
So what we know about your father is:
Mack Brewer Pettis: Born: 3/2/1930 and Died: June 9th, 1976.
His SS Card was Issued in TN and he died in VA.
Do you know his parents names? Do you know if Opheila was older or younger?
If anyone who has Ancestry....could look him up in the 1930 Census, Tiptonville, Lake, TN and share the household relatives with DOBs, that would be fantastic.

I think my grandmother's name was Hattie. I don't know if that was her given name. As for Ophelia, I know she lived in Tiptonville in the early 1990's but her married name is unknown to me. For reasons only known to herself, my mother took all of the truth about my dad's family to her grave , and left me with a bunch of false leads. I'm trying to remember as much as possible though. Once again, thank you !!!!
There is an bio on your family with a picture: *Book has tons of Tiptonville, TN resident information!
