I am assuming that the parents were married at the time of their eldest son's birth.He was 7 years old in 1754. Another family tree for the Pettyjohn's has theirdate of marriage as 1758. I am trying to find out their source of the date. Sarah Pettyjohn had person sources.¹

DOB is just a guess. I have not been able to find any further information on him yet. We do know that he married Sarah Pettyjohn by her father's will and that both of his childrens were left orphans in 1754. They were taken care of by their maternal grandfather's brother James Pettyjohn. Richard must have loved him since he named his son after him. David Firman had person sources.¹
