The Rev. W.L.Hayes, pastor of the Elkton methodist Church, officiated and burial took place in the family lot in Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Her death came after ten months of declining health. A lifelong resident of the county, she was the daughter of the late Tom Peden and Sallie Williamson Peden. Mrs. Witt, a member of the Berea Methodist Church, was the widow of Charles Morgan (Reb) Witt, who died 27 years ago. Mrs. Witt is survived by two sons, Brandon Witt, Elkton and Lindsay Witt, Tucson, Arizona; three grandchildren, Mrs. Jackson White, Wales, Miss Willa Witt and Charles Morgan Witt, Elkton and one brother, Bryant Peden, Wales."

Note: Mrs Jackson White is Elizabeth Witt White--source for most of this information. She married Charles Morgan "Reb" Witt at Giles, Tennessee, USA, on 17 June 1885.1 Elizabeth died on 1 August 1950 at Pulaski, Giles, Tennessee, USA.

     Thomas Brandon Witt My source for the Witt, Bellenfant, and Sanders families in Tennessee is Elizabeth Witt White who descends from Thomas. It was a dramatic moment when a letter sent, on a hunch, by Alvy Smith (2) to the Giles County, TN, records office was answered by a phone call to him from Elizabeth. She announced that she in fact was one of the lost relatives he was searching for. Her letter of June, 1989 to Alvy and Edith Smith (passed on to Alvy Ray Smith (3)) closed a large gap in our knowledge of the Sanders family history, my mother's family. Two large genealogical databases, that of the family before Will Sanders left for Australia and that after his arrival in Australia and subsequent return to America, were thus reunited. The information provided by Elizabeth covers the period from the early 1700s to 1850 in the USA, including Revolutionary War history. Our family had accumulated the history from 1850 onward, comprising to a large extent the Hargreaves family history in England, Australia, and the USA, the family into which Will Sanders married in Australia where he went to look for gold. Thomas was born at Bodenham, Giles, Tennessee, USA, on 11 January 1891.1 He married Ethel May Wilkinson at Giles, Tennessee, USA, on 24 December 1918. Thomas died on 14 January 1968 at Pulaski, Giles, Tennessee, USA, at age 77.2 His body was interred at Pulaski, Giles, Tennessee, USA, at Maplewood Cemetery.
