If you can help send an email to Marie at rmbeckman@mindspring.com Hello everyone, I have a Pittman line which lived in Dekalb Co. TN in 1850 & 1860 but for some reason this couple(actually just the mother whom I believed to be widowed) and their son David's family were living in Rutherford Co. TN in the 1870 census(page 298). Here is a bit of background on the Pittman couple Daniel Pittman was born sometime between 1803-1815 in North Carolina. He married a girl named Comfort(last name unknown) who was from Kentucky(according to census records). This couple was in Alabama sometime between 1837-1841 as they had children born there(from state of birth listing in census records). Their oldest son David Pittman(.1837-1922)) was my gr gr grandfather. He married Mary D. F. Adcock(1842-1903) in 1859(she was from Dekalb Co. TN) Apparently Daniel Pittman passed on sometime between 1860-1870 as he does not appear in the census records any more after this time. By the 1880 census David & Mary are back in Dekalb Co. TN. I'm not sure if Comfort Pittman had passed away between 1870-1880 as I've not found her in the census records during that time. If anyone has any info on where Daniel & Comfort Pittman are buried I'd really be glad to hear it. I've not been able to narrow down the area of NC where Daniel was from. I do know that David and Mary are buried in the Young Bend Cem. in Dekalb Co. TN with no trace of Daniel or Comfort there. Two more concerns I have 1. The similiarity of the name David & Daniel when they are written in cursive. 2. Spelling variations of Pittman/Pitman/Pitmon etc. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marie C.
