I am in the DAR’s having my ancestor as Rev. Samuel
Pittman. I have only learned recently that his wife
Lucy family’s name was Williams. That her father was
William Williams and his wife was Elizabeth. Do you
know about the father and mother to Lucy. I would appreciate knowing more.
thank you,
Esther
