Hello, Does anyone have any further information on the name PITZER? I am researching the family of John PITZER birthdate guessed at ca 1790-1800. He married Catherine VANDAMENT/VAN DEMAN, whose family was from Augusta Co, VA. They had 10 children: John B., Joseph, Henry, Rebecca, Matilda, Nancy, Martha Ann, Delia, William Jackson and Eliza.
