Thomas Pitman d. 1754/5 Edgecome
Some missing sons… only two of eight sons are named in his will. Linda Smith has shared some family documents… one document is the Will of Lott Pitman who is named in the Will of Thomas Pitman d 1754.
The other named son is Thomas Pitman also cited in the will of Thomas d.1754.
Lott Pitman names another son “Newit” in the attached will which has been in her family records. Also attached are some letters concerning a William Pitman from Robeson, NC to Marion District, SC and elsewhere…
We welcome a discussion and any more clues that can be provided. Sorry for my tardiness, Linda sent me this info Oct. of last year. I should be feathered… and threatened with a good tarring.
This link is the original Page with a bit more info on ole Thomas…
Hmmm… the mention of the name “Gaddy” in the letter above shows up in some of my notes concerning Marion District, SC.

Some notes about Abner Pitman of Edgecombe, NC.
Abner was born in Edgecombe but later moved to Marion District, SC… here is the background I have compiled:
I still do not know “for sure” which Joseph Pitman was his father. Ya gotta love a tough brick wall.
Also, I do not know of any relationship of this Abner Pitman to the other Pitmans discussed above. (other than the “Marion” connection.
