Sorry I cant help on Pitman, probably someone on this very active list can.
I am interested in the Eads / Eades family.
I dont know of Amanda Eads. Who were her parents?
Mary Elizabeth Eads was my GG-Grandmother. She is daughter of Horatio Eads.
She was married in Scott Co. IL 1844 then lived in Morgan Co. until her
death in 1851. Date and place unknown.
Like to hear from you.
