I found records to show this in the 1900 census. I believe that Carrie Pitts is my great grandmother, giving birth to my grandfather, James, when she was around 12. She gave him her maiden name because she was unmarried at the time. James A Pitts grew up and married my grandmother, Martha Greene, around 1925-26. In the 1930 census they were living in Chicago, where they had my mother. I know very little about my grandfather, James A Pitts. I do not remember ever meeting him as he was not with my grandmother when I was a child. I do not know if he remarried and if/when he died. I am interested in finding other members of the extended Pitts family. I would like to know more about my grandfather, his history, and his family stories.
