I have not confirmed this yet but I found R.P.Pitman married M.S.Hailey on 8/16-1876 in Van Zandt Co., TX. Richard Preston Pitman's son Richard Calvin Pitmon was b: 10/3-1892 in Van Zandt Co., TX.To my knowledge none of the above children belong to Richard and Malinda.
The story within the family; There was an argument of some kind that divided the family and several of the boys/men of the family spelled their last names differently. I'm not sure about the women of the family which Pitman name or side they took in the disagreement. I have additional information on spouses and locations. You can email me at [email protected]
