• Notes

  Although occasionally Molly is called Mary, her much younger sister was named Mary. (C-1600) Some records state that she and Henry declared their intentions to marry on the 12 m, 12d, 1754 in Kingwood MM, NJ. However, that intentios not list his spouses name to be. When Henry and Molly Pitts children's ages are studied, they do not have children till about 1785... making them a full generation younger than the Henry who wished to marry an unknown person in Kingwood, NJ in 1754. Mary joined the Bush River Baptist Church a month after her husband. "July 11.1801 show 7 persons received by experience Mary Coat, Sarah Conner, Aaron Pitts, Rebekah Johnston, John Johnston, Sarah Williams and James Cole."
