Isn't Putnam Mountain, near Scottsville, in Jackson
County? Apparently around the turn of the previous
century, some land was being opened up for
homesteading, as my great-granduncle Christopher
Columbus Judd and his family homesteaded Putnam
Mountain, named after Putnam County, TN. My
great-grandfather William A. Rice wrote a letter in
1908 saying he "was going to look at that land that
was opening up in Alabama...." to his brother-in-law,
John Denton Brown of McMinnville, Warren County, TN,
and would stop by their house to stay on the way down
there and on the way back.
So, a great many families apparently moved down
there from the Upper Cumberland, and not just from
DeKalb County. I'm wondering if the Thomas Pittman
family moved to Alabama between 1850 and 1860 or if
they moved to Texas? They lived in Cannon County,
where their son Thomas Pitman Jr. married Martha G.
LaFevers in 1852. They're gone by 1850.
