We are missing many Kittrells, particularly those that descend from female lines which are lost to history on first marriage and a few that still bear the name Kittrell. We are also gathering as much photos, obituaries, and all other available e-information and scans on our Kittrell family as is possible. While doing so we are linking up with many families who had a Kittrell marriage somewhere in some branch. Please write and send us any Kittrell document involving any Kittrell descendant whatsoever and it will be added to our collection. Ask a question and we will, after considering privacy rights and making adequate and sufficient protections as to what is included in our answer, aid you as best we can. We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else. We have a family tree of nearly 35000 (35K) Kittrell descendants and spouses that is totally private and a MyFamily site that is private and free and available to all Kittrell descendants and spouses. Just post or e-mail if you fit the bill and want to see thousands of bits of Kittrell info. The area of the future Gates County of North Carolina is the origin in the USA of the largest Kittrell family and Bertie County, NC was the home of one or more of the next generation, and later they moved on through Craven, Pitt, Granville, Carteret, Davidson and other NC counties as land grew too scarce for the number of male heads of household to feel that they could prosper. After that period of homesteading in various counties, many in some branches moved to other states including many times over: A. Alabama, including Barbour County, Chambers County, Clarke County, Dale County, Dallas County, Elmore County, Etowah County, Greene County, Hale County, Jefferson County, Lamar County, Lee County, Limestone County, Macon County, Mobile County, Monroe County, Montgomery County, Pike County, Randolph County, Sumter County, Talladega County, Tallapoosa County, Tuscaloosa County, Washington County, Wilcox County; and other Alabama counties with lesser or unknown activity; B. Arkansas, including Ashley County, Carroll County, Clay County, Crittenden County, Johnson County, Miller County, Ouchita County, St. Francis County, Woodruff and other Arkansas counties with lesser or unknown activity; C. California, including Fresno County, Los Angeles County, Sacramento County, San Diego County, Santa Clara County, Solano County, Stanislaus County, and other California counties with lesser or unknown activity; D. Florida: Alachua County, Bay County, Clay County, Escambia County, Hillsborough County, Holmes County, Jackson County, Levy County, Marion County, Martin County, Palm Beach County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, Santa Rosa County, Manatee County, Volusia County, Washington County and other Florida counties with lesser or unknown activity; E. Georgia, including Baker County, Baldwin County, Chatham County, Coweta County, Decatur County, DeKalb County, Dougherty County, Elbert County, Forsyth County, Fulton County, Grady County, Greene County, Hall County, Heard County, Jackson County, Jefferson County, Johnson County, Lamar County, Laurens County, Meriwether County, Mitchell County, Monroe County, Morgan County, Muscogee County, Sumter County, Spalding County, Treutlen County, Troup County, Washington County; and other Georgia counties with lesser or unknown activity; F. Tennessee, with Sumner appearing to be one of the first stops and many times over Maury County and other coumties including listed alphabetically Anderson, Cannon, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Hamilton, Henry Hickman, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence, Lewis, Loudon, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Perry, Rutherford, Shelby, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wilson and Weakley Counties, among many other, later became the home of many Kittrells of one line or another or multiple lines; and a presence in some or many counties of most other southern and western states. Anyone with Kittrell in their lore please write or post or both! Anyone with Kittrell in any USA (or foreign for that matter)document is welcome to write and to share info on an area rich in Kittrells, complicated to delineate from which Kittrell they descend and of which we have a large knowledge. We lose track of some of the female Kittrell lines consistently in every generation and would like to add them back to the family tree. The name has many spellings through the centuries in public record including as examples only Kittrell, Kittrel, Kitrel, Kitrell, Kitterlin, Kitterill, Kitterell, Kittrelle,..., leterally dozens or literally dozens depending how well you spell such things. We will assist anyone on Kittrell matters (for free of course, free other than the wealth we get from both of us sharing some of what we know). And we will be most pleased to find more missing links broken from our tree due to distance and change of generations to those who barely know a whit of their Kittrell kin.
