About Dorothy Pitman

Children

According to Howard Moore his first two children: Mary, and Ezekiel were from his first wife and his remaining children were from his second wife.[1] However Sybil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby and Walter Goodwin Davis in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire supported by marriage dates listed in Torrey provide us with a more accurate division of the children between his respective wives as follows:[10]

Children by his first wife Barbara Evans (born after 1653):

  1. Abigail m. 1st by 1671 Stephen Willey, m. 2d 6 Oct. 1710 Edward de Flecheur in Canada, where she was sometimes Gabrielle, but bp. Marie Louise. She and 3 daughters taken to Canada, 1689.[1][10][11]
  2. Mary, m. 16 Apr. 1674 Stephen Otis.[1][10][11]
  3. Ezekiel[1][10]

For an interesting discussion of some of his children and grandchildren see also Emma Lewis Coleman, New England Captives Carried to Canada Between 1677 and 1760 During the French and Indian Wars (Boston, MA: NEHGS, December 2012) (Grizel and Christine Otis).[11]
