Hello, all.
I've started an ambitious attempt to find and link all the Illinois Pitchfords to a single family tree. If you would like to participate I'll attempt to make the tree happen.
This is obviously going to be a long-term project, but well worth it.
This started with the Macoupin County Pitchfords a couple of months ago. I was contacted to find a lady's grandfather and how she fit into the Illinois line. It was determined that she is part of the Samuel Pitchford b ca 1700 line.
Let's see where this goes, shall we?
By the way my wife descends from John Pitchford b in England who married Margaret Rhodes in Shropshire in the early 1700's. The US Samuel line has not been linked to my wife's line...yet!
Thanks all.
