Note: Given the actual dates that we have now, it is not possible for Jason Harrison to be the son of Mathew Pettigrew. He was born 4 years after Mathew died. Although the family has always placed him as a son of Mathew, the actual father of Jason Harrison Pettigrew is unknown. Could he have been adopted, or be a nephew or other relative?
