Pitman DNA fun…

with 2 comments

I am not a competent DNA guy… I get easily confused in the god awful confusing lingo and bewildering charts. Show me a map and I am like a baby with a pacifier… a bug in a rug… Yogi Bear and a Pic a Nic Basket…you get the drift.

If you can track a male Pitman relative to Duplin County, NC… and convince him to take the DNA test…then I can hook you up with ancectors back to Virginia in the 1600s. No sweat.

Here are a few folks from Duplin County to investigate… looks like up to 1925 or so… maybe later?

…some background info… Arthur Pitman married a Hatcher gal in Edgecombe County, NC and they moved to Duplin County after 1765 or so… (they bought the property on Six Mile Creek noted above).

Arthur Pitman’s GGGGGGranny was also my GGGGGGranny… but I was a bastard son …so my DNA is a bit Funky. I am a Brantley… which Brantley is still up in the air… but, rest assured, I am looking for the low down, rotten SOB what knocked up my GGGGGGranny. (said GGGGGGranny married James Pitman who saved you later Pitmans from the cursed shame of bastarddom. I shake my head…smiling)

So we might be half fast cousins… what are you waiting for?

Google FTDNA Pitman … email Dan, the Administrator dan.pittman@comcast.net He will hook you up with the latest info on testing and the best deals… tell him I sent ya.

  1. My grandma was a Pittman. Descended from James Pittman of IoW County via Jordan Pittman and Kate Womble/Wombwell.

  2. I just came up with a death date for that James. He lived on the boundary of IOW and Surry County along the Second Swamp. There are new records that you can pull up and research on the Familysearch.org site. Kudos and a hat tip to the folks at Familysearch. The new
    “full search” buttons are blowing my mind. I could not even have conceived of such a thing…uh, back in the day of Boomers… you know, last century.
