marriage: 7 May 1787 in Shenandoah County, Virginia
Elizabeth Mauck
birth: ca. 1769 in Frederick County, Virginia to John Peter Mauck & Anna Ottilia Zumwalt
death: ca. 1810 in Harrison County, Indiana
burial: Not verified, but likely Hottel (Conrad) Cemetery, Harrison County, Indiana

Children of Elizabeth Mauck and John Pittman:

  • Lawrence Pittman, born bet. 1787-1797, died aft. 1860, married (1) Catherine Lopp, (2) Rebecca (Muck) Keller.
  • Sarah “Sally” Pittman, born bet. 1792-1794, died aft. 1870, married Jonas Fleshman.
  • John Pittman, Jr., 1792-1850, married Susannah Oatman (daughter of father’s second wife Christiana Pope Oatman).
  • Catharine Pittman, 1797-1855, never married.
  • Mary Magdalena Pittman, 1799-1872, married John Lopp.
  • Isaac Noah Pittman, born bet. 1802-1804, died aft. 1880, married Mary Elizabeth Grant.
  • Philip Peter Pittman, 1803-1835, married Mahala Grant.
  • David Pittman, 1806-1881, married (1) Catherine Eddleman, (2) Mary E. Young.

Ancestor here lived in:

1. Shenandoah (technically Frederick County at time of John’s birth) County, Virginia from birth until ~ 1808-1809.
2. Harrison County, Indiana from 1808-09 until his death in 1839.

Other Information:

John was raised in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Sometime 1808-1809, he and his family moved to Harrison County in the Indiana Territory along with his sister Catherine and her husband John Snider. They lived and farmed in Scott Township on the property that today includes the Hottel (Conrad) Cemetery on Feller Rd. I suspect, without proof, that John’s first wife wife Elizabeth may have been the first buried in that cemetery ca. 1810, as well as John himself in 1839. John’s second wife, Christiana Oatman neé Pope died 1843 in Knox Co. IL, likely at the home of her step-son John Pittman Jr. and is buried in Rice-Blue Cemetery in Henderson Twp., Knox Co, IL.

After Elizabeth’s death ca. 1810, John married widow Christiana (Pope) Oatman in 1814. No children from this marriage.

Other Information:

Maurice and Matilda once owned a house on the Underground Railroad. I am unsure if this was in Ohio or Indiana. This mentioned in an article by Maud Howard Gaines in the History of Grant Co Indiana by White (I believe)

Maurice served in the War of 1812 from New York. I think that perhaps he received a land grant for serving.
The Howard’s moved to Indiana between 1836 and 1840.
