On Sunday, "The King" met the newest member of the Petty family ... his great-grandson Adam.

The little guy is a fifth-generation Petty, following his great-great-grandfather Lee, his great-grandfather Richard, his grandfather Kyle and his father Austin. And get this ... the kid was born just last week and already has his own Twitter account.
