Biography
Click here to view information about the Pettibone Registry.
Kathryn was born in 1918. She is the daughter of William Sharp and Myrtle Bredehoft. She passed away in 2007. During the last 25 years of her life Kay researched her Pettibone Ancestors, starting in 1633 with John & Sarah Eggleston Pettibone. This document has never been published, but I have a copy and will be entering it here and using her documentation. All profiles taken from this document will be so noted, and referenced to this profile. Kay was my first cousin and through her mother's untimely death a member of my immediate family. Should her family decide to offer The Pettibone Registry, that information will be available through me. [Sept 13, 2013, digitizing the Pettibone Registry is completed]
The Pettibone Registry is available from Tom Bredehoft PDF download at no cost.
Copies of the Pettibone Registry are in the holdings of the Simsbury (Ct) Historical Society, the New England Historic and Genealogical Society and the Daughters of the Revolution.
