Time and time again I read of the Pettigrew name being of huegenot origin.This is inaccurate the name is Scottish, check out Sir thomas Pettigrew lord lyon of Scotland 1520, branches of the family were in France but were not of huegenot origin.The name is of Pictish origin, hence the many pett and pit place names in Scotland, Pettinain, Pettycur etc, it would appear our American cousins are trying to rewrite our origin, just as they do with Hollywood. ROY URQUHART PETTIGREW
I have also read something of his family being Scottish. I also believe the lawyer he worked for in Charleston, SC (his uncle) spelled his name as "Pettigru" or something similar, out of respect to ancestry. (as an aside, I also read this uncle was an intellectual and abolistionist. Charleston has a history of having a number of "free thinkers" since its founding.)....

General Pettigrew's gravesite can be visited by the public. There is a path from Somerset Place State Park that leads to a small family plot with his crypt. I assume the location was once part of "Bonarva" his family's estate. I've seen it once (its a bit of a walk) - seems to be a bit unkempt.... Engr105th 19:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
It is a bit of hike from Somerset Place, but only a few hundred meters from a paved road (probably over private property.) I was last there in 2012. Someone obviously takes good care of this family cemetery, and there have been small signs of respectful visits each time I've been there. It's quite remote, and not much else exists of Bonarva. I'll take notes and pictures if I visit again. Hajnalka ( talk) 00:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything about this? Dates, primarily, but also what was the relationship with James Lawrence Orr, who organized that Regiment & actually served as its first colonel. Hywel Dda ( talk) 14:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I have done a little copy editing which you will want to check.
Thanks for taking this one on. I did this one late at night, so there's possibly some stuff I just totally forgot with this one. Hog Farm ( talk) 20:58, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Fine work. If this is what you can do when half asleep, your best must be impressive indeed. Promoting. Gog the Mild ( talk) 21:47, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Overall: Recent GA. Hook is decent and no issues I see with audience appeal. Although I think that his final fate seems more interesting, how his group was the last to cross back into the South and how he did not want to be left on federal lands (the North) to die. If you want to write an another ALT hook, I can approve that as well. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 04:41, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
