John Pettigrew and Agnes Campbell of Mowillin, Derrynoose parish. Late 1700s.

[usaPetticrew]

I am seeking information about John Pettigrew and Agnes Campbell/Campble of Mowillin townland, Derrynoose parish.

Who are their parents?  Are there birth/baptism records for them?  Where and when did they marry?

They married either in the late 1700s or soon after 1800.  The earliest Co. Armagh record I have for them is a baptism record for a daughter.

24 Mar 1811: At Keady Church of Ireland: Martha daugher of John and Agnes Pettycrew of Mowillin in Derrynoose Parish.

These may be for the same John:

1796 Flax Growers List for County Armagh
Derrynoose: John Petticrew

1825 Tithe Applotment Book for Derrynoose Parish by Townland
Mowillin: John Pettigrew


What is currently verified for John and Agnes Pettigrew are some of their children who emigrated to America, their births and deaths:

Born 8 Mar 1809: George Pettigrew, died 4 Apr 1896 in Latham, Moniteau County, Missouri.
Born Mar 1811: Martha Pettigrew, married and died 1901 in Missouri.
Born 5 Apr 1813: Reverend Samuel Pettigrew, died 21 Nov 1895 in St. Louis, Missouri.

That their mother's name was Campbell or Campble comes from this bio for Samuel:

George was married in Ireland:
1840: George Pettigrew and Anne Hall

Anne went variously by Agnes and Nancy.  From 1841 to 1848 she and George had 3 sons (John, James, Samuel) and 3 daughters (Martha, Mary Jane, Agnes.)  More children were born in America.

The details sketched above are what I know about John and Agnes (Campbell) Pettigrew.  I am interested in finding their parents, when John and Agnes were born, and when and where they died.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Religion?

Sorry about that omission.

Also, I did have the full marriage record after all, for George, son of John and Agnes:

27 Feb 1840: At Derrynoose Church of Ireland: George Pettigrew and Anne Hall (father a Hall) both of Mowillin and with witnesses John Hall and John McCartin.

So, Church of Ireland for the religion.  That squares also with the baptism records for the 6 children of George and Anne, b. 1841-48, where the children were all baptized at the Derrynoose Church of Ireland.

In the 1841 baptism record George's occupation was weaver; his residence is Ravenhill.  In the rest of the baptism records his occupation is farmer, residence Mowillin.

Thanks.

.........his residence is Ravenhill.  In the rest of the baptism records his occupation is farmer, residence Mowillin.

Firstly, Mowillin townland NNW of the town of Keady.

Ravenhill is likely in the townland of Knockrevan.

Thank you.  That is very helpful.  I see that Knockrevan/Ravenhill is an adjacent townland to Mowillin.

My 2xgrgrandmother, Margaret Moan Irwin, who was from Mowillan, Derrynoose, had a brother William who married an Elizabeth Pettigrew in Derrynoose in 1853.  After a few years, the Moans moved to Durham, England where William worked as a coalminer.
