The family moved to Scyene Texas (Mesquite) in 1893, coming in covered wagon from Chismville. Family history says that the move was caused by a dam built on Harvell, or Pettigrew land that made farming impossible. Tax Records show for years 1893-1894-1895-property owned for tax purposes, doubled and that the family was farming
John Neel Pettigrew died in 1896 in Palo Pinto Co. Texas without a will. In the 1897 probate packet from Dallas, his property was determined to be a value of $1600.00 of which his wife received $750.00 (with her new husband), and the children were given trust accts and a guardian to oversee the money. The wife, Mary Catherine Chancellor, died in 1899 of tuberculosis. Her new husband, Charles Hudgins, disappeared and there is no further information. The children went to live with a foster care family who beat the children and abused them. The two boys ran away from home at the ages of 9 and 12, jumping on a train, passing through town. The 2 daughters stayed with the foster family and evidently had their money stolen and lived as virtual slaves until age of marriage.
