Do you know of Pettibone ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Pettibone. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Pettibone.<1>

Our sources for Pettibone (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Pettibone other than they indicate that Pettibone would be found somewhere in Washington County, Tennessee.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1880 and closed  in 1890.
