It has been awhile since I went on the hunt for these folks, thought I would try again. Looking for any information or family ties to POLK COUNTY families of PITTMAN, ISBELL, and HACKNEY. John Eli PITTMAN was born somewhere in Georgia on October 25, 1840 to (as yet) unknown parents. He married Carolyn Hazeltine HACKNEY 20 December 1869 in Polk County. Carolyn was born on 12 December 1852 to John W. (Billy) HACKNEY and Mary Francis LOCKETT. John HACKNEY and Mary LOCKETT were married in Talliferro County on 25 March 1850. John Eli PITTMAN and Carolyn H. HACKNEY's eldest daughter was Autha Emmett PITTMAN, born 19 July 1871 in Polk County. She married Sampson Jeremiah ISBELL on 13 February 1890 in Cedartown, Polk County. Sampson Jeremiah was the son of Jeremiah M. ISBELL and Matilda Ann WADE. I have considerable information on the ISBELL family due to the generosity of many wonderful family researchers. I am, however, still struggling on the PITTMAN and HACKNEY lines. Please tell me we are related! Lila
