Family tradition says that John was born at sea while the family was on the way from County Antrim, Irelandto America. On his application for American citizenship on file at the Laurens County Courthouse in Laurens,SC, John stated on April 17, 1810 that he was born in Ireland and had resided in the state of South Carolinafor 21 years. (If he was born on a ship under Irish registry, however, international law considered him a nativeof Ireland.)
John grew up at his parents’ homeplace about a mile behind the present site of Bethany Presbyterian Churchin lower Laurens County. In 1815, at age 28, he married 19-year-old Adeline Pitts (Linny), the daughter ofElizabeth Anderson and Henry Pitts, Jr., who lived near the Bethany community. Family tradition says thatJohn made some of the furniture that the young couple used in their first home, including a chest with initialand date (1815), a drop leaf table, and four dining chairs, all of which survived for many years.
John and his wife Linny reared their family of six daughters and five sons in the community of Sandy Springs,about four miles west of Bethany Presbyterian Church. The exact location of their home is not known, butfrom references in 6 Clark Berry Stewart’s journal, it was probably on the road between Sandy SpringsMethodist Church and Bethany Presbyterian Church, not far from the later homeplace of 1.11.3 John WesleyDonnan (see Bethany map). John and Linny and their family were members of Bethany Presbyterian Church,where John became one of the first two deacons when an election was first held in 1841. He appears to haveserved as Justice of the Peace for Scuffletown Township for a time, and came to be known as Squire John.Even his much younger half-brother Clark called him “Squire John” occasionally - or else “Uncle John.”

Notes for WILLIAM A. PITTS:Living with parents in 1850 census
Good mystery here.A document (copy) was shown or described to Ernest C. Bolt, Sr. It was his workthat I'm building my research on to go beyond Edwin Leroy Pitts. Ernest wasderailed by a conflict in this document by the date - December 19 1837.It covered the consignment of the Management of Estate of William Pittsto his father Henry Pitts. This document was signed by the children ofHenry Pitts and their spouses. Ernest Bolt found that Matilda A. Boydwould not have been of marriagable age at 1837. In fact she marriedIsaac Boyd in 1844. I have gone on with newer information and realize
9
that Louisa J. Pitts would have not been married to John Cooper at age 10.L. E. Pitts, if this is Lucinda Emeline Pitts, signing a document at age 1?And if William was born in 1826, what kind of estate does an 11 year oldhave that needs a legal document? I believe that the year is a typo or bad copy and the date of the documentis probably December 19 1847 or more likely December 19 1857.The number 5 can look like a 3 in old faded documents. I need to find thisdocument to see for myself.
