SOURCES found to LINK the 2:

Property purchased in Logan Co., KY

Deed Book A1, Page 509-510, 1793 - 1803 Logan Co., KY (From James DROMGOOLE to John PITTS) "......:This indenture made this 16th day of March 1802 eighteen hundred and two between Urban EWING, Sheriff of Logan County of the one part and John PITTS of the other part both of the county of Logan and State of Kentucky."

THIS does place John Pitts In Logan, Kentucky..............

Logan Co., KY

June 24, 1839, in Book W, page 321 - between Jacob SMITH, Michael KELLER, 'Thompson K. PITTS, Mekin PITTS, Delaney PITTS, Theophilus SKINNER and his wife Polley SKINNER, Hervey SKINNER and Sally SKINNER his wife, John SKINNER, Wiley SKINNER, Giddy SKINNER, Nancy IDSON wife of ______ IDSON, Sally SKINNER and other children of Betsey SKINNER and Allen SKINNER formerly PITTS, 238 acres

This is info only of the marriage to Lucy aka: Kendrick

"Marriage records in both counties have been searched and no proof was found of the marriage of John Pitts and Lucy Washington (second wife)'.

John PITTS Will information (below) from Logan Co., KY "Several deposition's from his estate states John PITTS married Lucy KENDRICK in Robertson Co., TN."

So IF Thompson was a "stepson" then Lucy had to have been his mother and either Washington or Kendrick was her maiden name????????????????

" 28 Sep 1835 Logan Co., KY Deposition of Bartley Pitts at the residence of John Proctor.

John Pitts, dec'd, as can recollect invited him on May 1805 to travel with him to Davidson Co., TN as he intended to get married to Lucy Kindrick. Lucy lived in Davidson Co., TN.

If they did actually get married in 1805 then Thompson was in deed John Pitts son, he was born 3 years later.
