This past week I noticed a post on one of the Rootsweb's message boards concerning Annie Pitman Dunham by Jan Hicks which told of having new info on the line of Comfort who married Daniel Pitman. Comfort's last name was unproven. Jan answered my inquiry about her post and told me that she and Royce Dunham had gotten a copy of John R. Dunham's 1909 Guion Miller Application and that it contained a good bit of new information. Jan promised to send copies to me which arrived Sat(July 2nd) I must say I am so excited about the amount of information in these documents. I will be updating my Pit(t)man web site which deals with the Descendants & the Genealogy of Daniel & Comfort Pitman over the next few weeks to reflect what we have learned. What new pieces of info did we get from this document? *Comfort's maiden name: Hatfield *Comfort's mother's name: Annie Ross *Statement that Annie Pitman Dunham went to Talequah in Aug of 1866 *A list of the 5 oldest children of Daniel & Comfort Pitman and death dates for the two who were deceased at the time of John R. Dunham's application. The new info does bring up more questions as you will find several different files and datebases at other sites with bits and pieces about Annie Ross and Comfort Hatfield. If you can add any information I would love to hear from you.
