"Petty's" misspelling?
I thought it should be "Pettys Island" that's the misspelt version instead of "Petty's Island" (since the name of the namesake was "Petty"), but hey, past generations used to spell in weird ways... :)

All of the maps I have refer to it as "Pettys Island".

Whatever the vaunted intellectuals of the USGS may say, no one in South Jersey has ever referred to it as "Petty Island." It's always "Petty's Island." But hey, who cares?
