He left a will in Richmond County, where he died Aptil 19, 1785. He and his 5 sons were Revolutionary soldiers.
* John Pittman was of Scotch-English descent. He lived in Buckingham County, Virginia then moved to Edgefield District, South Carolina. Prior to 1770 he moved to St Paul's Parish, Georgia and settled on Kiokee Creek. His plantation was located in that portion of land later named Richmond County and in 1790 was cut off and named Columbia County, Georgia.
* John Pittman and some of his children were charter members of Kiokee Baptist Church, the first Baptist church established in Georgia (Appling, GA).
* John Pittman enlisted on December 18, 1778 in 4th Artillery Regiment of South Carolina, commanded by Col. Barnard Beckman. He served as Matros in Capt. Harmon Davis's company.

BUCKNER PITTMAN
* Buckner served with Virginia Troups in the Revolutionary War, then went west. While passing through Nasville, Tennessee, he encountered the Tory responsible for the injury to his mother, Mrs. Mary Rowe Pittman. Buckner shot the Tory and killed him. the Tennessee authorities refused to indict him for this deed. It is believed his first wife died leaving an infant son, Jesse, that was reared by his parents, John & Mary Pittman.
* Buckner campaigned with George Rogers Clark in the West, enlisting in May 1780, and served for 3 years.
* After the Revolution he settled in Mississippi in what would become Adams County. He married again there, raising a new family.
JOHN ICHABOD PITTMAN
* Some of the family in tracing names think that possibly his second name may have been Isaac, Icabod or Edward. However, his father's Bible records only the name "John" and the land grants for the Revolutionary War Service show only John, as does his father's will.
* John Pittman was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, serving as a private in the 2nd Georgia Battalion commanded by Col. Samuel Elbert. His name appears on an undated list of officers and men belonging to that battalion whose pay had been drawn to the first of January 1779 and his name last appears on a payroll covering the period from August 18, 1779 to Decmeber 1, 1779. He received a Bounty Grant of 287.5 acres of land on Flat Creek in Franklin County, Georgia. The grant is now preserved in the GA Dept of History and Archives on Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA, Rhodes Memorial Hall. At times, he owned lands in Franklin, Washington and Wilkes Counties of Georgia. He lived his last years in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He is buried there at a family cemetery which has been identified, perhaps incorrectly, as Waits Cemetery. .,
JAMES GREENE PITTMAN
* Served in the Revolutionary War. Enlisted in Richmond (now Columbia) County, Georgia and in 1833 received a pension while living in Madison County, GA.
* James Pitman of Jackson County bought 385 acres in Jackson December 17, 1799 from John Appling of Columbia County, who surveyed the land Nov. 10, 1785. He was Justice of Peace in Jackson in 1800 when he & John G. Pittman and Pleasant Pittman were enumerated in 1820 in Jackson.
* James received a land grant after the Revolution. From this acreage, a portion was set aside for a family cemetery. It is located 6 miles north of Athens in Madison County.

PHILLIP PITTMAN
* He was granted 287.5 acres of land in Washington County, Georgia for his services in the Revolutionary War. Of the Pittman men, Phillip's record during the Revolution is somewhat questionable. If his birthdate is correct, he would only have 10 years old at the time of service. He was awarded a land pension, which would suggest service of some type. The confustion may owe to the presence of more than 1 Phillip Pittman in Georgia & South Carolina at the time....
TIMOTHY PITTMAN
* Timothy was living in Columbia County, Georgia in March 1816, probably on the old Kiokee plantation, as it was willed to him by his father. Timothy died leaving 12 children. His yougest child, aged four, was buried with him, according to family tradition.
* Land Grant to timothy Pittman for service in Revolutionary War is record on page 299 of book DDD, Office of Secretary of State, Atlanta, GA.
