Since William PETTICOATE came to Anne Arundel County in 1667, the spelling of the surname has taken on many forms. In the early 1700s, we find John being called PETTICOARTE, PETTICOAT, PETTICOURT, and PEDDICOARTE. Below are some of the spellings of the names from the US Census Records between 1790 and 1870.
