Pitts & wife Mary Ann, son S. Wright Pitts and what appears to be grandson Frank E. born that year. John M. came to Mich. from Yates Township, Orleans, N.Y. and was born in Columbia County, N.Y. ca 1814. I would appreciate genealogical data on this family, and am most interested in parents of John M. Pitts. Incidentally, I am descended from John S. Pitts b 1822 of Locke, Ingham who was also from Columbia, N.Y. Thanks for any help you can provide, David T. Pitts
