Dear Glenda,
This is my line - but it is not your Catherine Pittenger.However, I have info on a lot of Pittenger's but there are too many inconsistencies to fit them into my line.See below for information on J. Odell:
Descendants of Richard Pittenger
1. Richard Pittenger
2Daniel Pittenger
+Elizabeth Amy Biggs
3 Benjamin Pittenger 1775 -
+Mary Ann Grimes
4 Catherine Pittenger- 1836
+Jacob Eckman1776 - 1853
5William Henry Eckman1800 -
.+ Mary Morrison1816 - 1882
6Robert M. Eckman1848-NancyKepperling1851-1913
However,this paper is among my papers - I think you would be interested, if you do not already have it:
Genealogical Records Collection, Maryland D.A.R. 1948 page 19:
Part of a letter from J. W. Odell to his nephew, Mr. Lewis Odell of Mt. Vernon, Iowa dated June 15, 1881 as follows: "In early settlement of this country some 200 years ago, three brothers, James Thomas and Rignall Odell sailed from the shore of Old England and landed at Jamestown, Virginia.One of these me was my grandfather.After they lived in Virginia some time, one moved to New York and all trace of him was lost.It is believed he was killed by Indians.My grandfather on account of slavery left Virginia in 1800 moving to Eagle Creek, Adams County, Ohio.My father came with me.He was 21 years, born July 20 1779 in Hampshire County, Virginia and was educated for a Methodist preacher but he never preached.He took law and was very successful.In February, 1804, he married Catherine Pittenger who was my mother.My father died August 23, 1845.My mother was born in Maryland on the Monocasy River near Hagerstown, Md.She was of Dutch descent.She moved with her father in her girlhood to Adams County, Ohio.She had one half sister, a widow, Mrs. Nancy Stephenson and one half brother, William Pittenger."
The Pittengers and the Eckmans (my ancestors) were neighbors in Maryland and in Ohio.
