I did something stupid. I received an e-mail and I don't know who that had my Fortunatus Pitman and his brother Hudson Pitman in their query. I deleted it somehow. Now I could cry. They were either in Caswell Co., N.C. or Northumberland, Va. I know they were both places. It was around 1790 or 1810. Thought maybe you would have records of them. Frances Ann Pitman of Caswell Co., N.C. married William Jeffreys (Jeffries) and lived in Northumberland, Va. I have also heard reference to the Pitman's being Cherokee. I am signed up on the Pitman mailing list and don't know if I received the e-mail from that. Wish I could retrieve that e-mail. Thanks, Jo Clark
