DNA

DNA results from Ancestry has placed connection from John Henry down Nicholas Pitman, This lines moves to Canada before the 1900s.

Paul Pitman will be difficult as he married Sarah Ann Paynter Gilbert and their only living heir, Ann Gilbert Pitman marries George William Young, this line does not seem to marry back into the family. No current DNA matches, I have some unknown matches but they don't have trees which could be why it is hard to define a connection. This line goes marries out to Conyers, Masters, Longhurts, Bell and Littenfield.
