Lutie, I know of two Pittinger families. One person Winifred Pittinger was my principal when I was in grade school, well actually she is part of the Pittengers of Waterville Ohio in Lucas County. Then there were some Pittingers who lived by my Third Great Grandparents and GG Uncle in Wayne County Ohio. One of them took in a indentured 8 year old girl back in the 1820s. check list of the indentured of that county for back then. The father lost his wife and he couldn't take care of two children and my Great Great Great Uncle John Cripliver took in the 5 year old boy to teach him a trade of coopering and chair caning till the boy was 18 years old, then he gave the boy the tools of his trade and the boy went on his way. the girls who were indentured by parents who couldnt take care of them were taught to be either governesses or household helpers.
