Surname: Pittman, Pitman
-------------------------

I posted the earlier message about Bluford Pittman. We have now located
his father, a man named Elbert Pitman. Elbert was born around 1785 (unknown
location) and died in Sumter County in 1843. He married a lady named Nancy
Council in Laurens County Ga. in 1811, moved to Sumter County and had a
large family. Their oldest sons were: John Wallace Pittman, William Buford
Pittman, Joel Sheppard Pittman, possibly Jesse and Scion/Sion, an Elbert
(jr),and several females including Nancy Pittman. Nancy, the mother, died
in 1841 and Elbert remarried the widow Mary Kennedy who was raising two
young children, Mary Ann and James M.. Elbert died in 1843 and several
years later Joel Sheppard Pittman married his step-sister Mary Ann Kennedy.
We have been unable to locate Elbert's parents or where he came from. If
anyone has any information on this line I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Charles Pittman
