Elizabeth Pitts in Bibb or Shelby Co AL
1850 Shelby Co AL Census shows 13-year-old Elizabeth Pitts living with Abner and Amanda Hill family. Elizabeth may have been pregnant and taken in by Hills. In April, 1854, she gave birth to a son Richard Hill, aka James Washington Hill, my ggrandfather. We thought she had younger son after Richard/JW but perhaps he was older, maybe two sons Charles and Henry. Elizabeth allegedly died in 1860, in Montgomery AL (wild shot in bar sent bullet through ceiling and into her room where it structk and killed her)leaving boys as orphans. We think young Elizabeth Pitts may have been sent away or may have run away from Pitts home. Anyone with info on this story, please email me at [email protected] or [email protected]. Thank you.
