O’ great… another Pitman theory…
The Joseph Pitman who signed the will of William Anderson d. 1789- who was he?
Is it possible he was the half-brother of Anderson? Was Joseph a son of Elizabeth Pitman after she married James Pitman? Did she have sons who received her property around her death by deeds of sale instead of by a will? I’ll just leave the question hanging… for anyone adventurous enough to use my “search box”.
There were several Pitmans involved with her property settlement that I simply cannot connect the puzzle pieces.
Jordans in IOW and Surry Counties, VA
A commenter, Rene, was looking for a way to print out a highlighted subject of one of my HUGE online maps. This is a screenshot from my Surry County patent map. In this case I am highlighting the several JORDAN properties.
So this is basically an experiment to see if one of you can save this page on your computer and then print it out on a standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
This is an unfamiliar file type to my personal use but it works out to be a convenient size to upload/download. So, for the curious among you please try to Right-Click and SAVE this puppy to your computer and let me know if you can print it. thanks Marc
Here is the 1636 era Isle of Wight properties: This is the IOW map and not the Surry map (above).
Also note my usual disclaimer that I am a rank amateur at this stuff so this is merely my personal opinion…
