William Shepard Pettigrew (1818-1900) was a member of the North Carolina Secession Convention. He was the older brother of Confederate Gen. James Johnston Pettigrew (1823-1863) who commanded Heth’s Division at Pickett’s Charge and was killed covering the retreat from Gettysburg a few days later. W.S. Pettigrew inherited two plantations from his father, an influential landowner in eastern North Carolina. The Pettigrew family papers are at UNC (1776-1926).
