General Notes: Husband - Michael Pitzer


He was very handy and expert with all manner of tools, and was the master of three different trades-coopering, shoemaking, and carpentering. He was frugal
and industrious in his habits, and accumulated considerable property. With the increase in his fortune, he conceived the idea of making his home in a new country where land was more plentiful than where he had resided, and where he could gather all his children and their families about him. So in 1868, he removed to Dickinson County, Tennessee, where he purchased 530 acres of land near Charlotte; many of his children went with him, but some of them returned to Pennsylvania after his death.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Cameron


She died at the age of seventy-three.
