Marie, Does this genealogy mention Rev. Beecher Dunham of the 14th Dist. of Dekalb Co., or the Pitmans of Pulaski Co. KY, around Pitman Creek, in the 19th century? Clyde LeFevre
Hi Clyde Daniel & Comfort's two oldest daughters married Dunham brothers--sons of Richard Dunham. You will find members of the Dunham, Pittmans and Hatfield Families in Marion Co. TN, Jackson Co. AL as well as Dekalb Co. TN. While Comfort gives her place of birth as KY in two census records I haven't found anything that would tell exactly where she was born. Margaret Pitman Dunham is back in Jackson Co. AL in 1850 although she married in Dekalb Co. TN(she and John Sebron Dunham later move on to Union Co. IL where the lived out the remainder of their lives) We are hoping to have one of the male Pitmans in Daniel's line take a DNA test so that we might get further clues on how our line of Pitmans fit on the big tree. I continue to believe that John Pitman who lived in 1850 Bledsoe and who was in Marion Co. TN in 1860 as well as earlier census yrs is Daniel's father. He and Daniel both gave their occupation as shoemaker and list NC as place of birth. Its possible I guess that the Rev Beecher Dunham you mentioned might tie in with the Dunham family who lived around and married into the Pitman family. I haven't seen the connection but I will put that to memory and let you know if I run across any clues. --Marie At 11:33 AM 7/4/2005, you wrote: >Marie, > >Does this genealogy mention Rev.
