There is a confusion as to where Robert's Parents were from. This census states that they are from Ireland. So more research is required. I was hoping that you could help me on this confusion. Also was hoping that someone could shed some light on this marriage. Could this be my Christia's real name? Could there be some connection between Catharine Brodwell and Christian BRIDWELL (Christia for short)?
PETTY, Dudley m. Catharine BRODWELL -- 26 Dec 1849 -- Vigo Co. Indiana

my great grandfather was Robert Lee Petty born 1870 who was the son of (according to the census I have attached) Dudley and Christia Petty. My grandfather was William Edward Petty born to Robert Lee Petty and Louisa Davis. I have two census below.
I have come across 2 Dudley Pettys. One Dudley born in 1757 son of Joseph and Mary and then also the one I have attached below in the census who would have been born in abt 1818 and whom I believe to be my Robert lee's parents (my great great grand father Dudley Petty). Are these 2 Dudley Pettys of the same descent? I am so confused. Hope someone can help me figure this one out. It would be greatly appreciated... Census in following message
