PITKIN Family Genealogical Research
(by Ron Bauerle)
Welcome to my PITKIN family page. I am descended from
Martha Pitkin (1639-1719) who both came to Connecticut from England and married
Simon Wolcott (1624-1687) in 1661. They settled in Springfield, MA, and
my branch of the family ended up in Granville,
Hampden Co, MA; Walworth,
Wayne Co, NY, and
Clinton Co, MI
through marriage to the
Cooley,
Bancroft,
Peterson, and
Cressman families.
Most of the content of this page is geared towards Martha's brother William's
descendants; Martha's descendants will be found on my Wolcott page when I get
it put together. After Simon Wolcott died, Martha married Daniel Clark in
1689. Daniel, through his first marriage to Mary Newberry, was the grandfather
of Jemima Clark, who married Daniel Cooley Jr., the son of Daniel Cooley and
Elizabeth Wolcott, the daughter of Simon and Martha; in other words, Martha's
second husband was her granddaughter-in-law's grandfather (got that? :^))

Contents of this page:
- A list of my Pitkin ancestors and their spouses
- Something interesting I found in a Pittsburgh library Jan. 2001:
"On the Wooing of Martha Pitkin",
Being a Versified Narrative of the Time of the Regicides in Colonial New England,
Written by Charles Knowles Bolton, Bachelor of Arts, 1895. Interesting in
that Simon Wolcott's
beating out his brother for Martha's hand came down to the equivalent of a coin toss...

Warning: big file! (71k). At the present time it is derived from
Mary Pitkin's page
and focuses on Martha's brother William.
