Reference to ancestors: Revolutionary War Services #265884, Daughters And
Sons of the American Revolution. See 1920 letter written by Rosa Dew
Newberry. Un The Rev. Samuel Pittman was born in London, England in 1740
and died in Halifax District, North Carolina in 1814. He resided in
Halifax District, North Carolina. He was a soldier from North Carolina
who assisted in establishing American independence. He was married to
Lucy Williams in1764 (not substained by documentation). Lucy Williams
was born in 1744 died in 1812.

Ref:Jack Pittman
Samuel, who was born in London, settled in Pennsylvania sometimebefore
1764 when he married Lucy Williams, who was a Virginian and then to South
Carolina.

Sterling C.H. Pittman's obituary states that when the Revolutionary War
began, Samuel "cast his fortunes with the patriots". It then relates a
brief story about how Samuel had been taken prisoner by the Tories and
escaped through the efforts of his sons. Also states the Tories "also
ordered dinner." One traditions says that Lucy had a "hot temper".

Undocumented sources say that Samuel fought in the battle of Brandywine
(September 1777) and wintered over with Washington's Army at Valley Forge
(Dec 1777 to June 17778)....he would have been 37 years old. His two
sons Lemuel and Samuel threw stones at the Tories horses and stampeded
them, running into the house, they told the Tories that their horses had
broken loose and run off. The Tories went after the horses leaving one
man to guard the prisoner. The guard remarked "Pittman you see I have no
gun, but I have a pocket pistol, and if youtry to get away I will shoot
you." Little Samuel noticed that the Tories coat struck through the back
of the chair and reached to the floor. So he lay down on the floor and
began to roll and tumble about until he managed to crawlup behind the
Tories' chair. He searched the pockets for the pistol, not finding any,
he sprang up and said "Daddy he's got no pistol, for I've just searched
his pockets." With that, his father, sprang up and giving the Tory a
tremendous kick, and fled. When the other Tories returned with the
horses and found out what happened, they took the boys outside and gave
them each a terrible thrashing.

There are records that indicate that Samuel Pittman continued to move
further south into South Carolina.
There is a Samuel Pitman Sr.listed in the 1790 census records for the
96th District of Pendleton Co. South Carolina as well as a Samuel Pitman
Jr. and Winant Vanderpool. (Misspellings of the Pittman surname in census
and other records is common). There is also a Samuel Pittman and his
wife Lucy appear in the records of Tiger Creek Church in 1805. This
church is located in what is now northern Greenville Co.South Carolina.

Lucy Pittman died in 1812 at age 68. Samuel Pittman died in 1814 at the
age of 74.
