Biography

Research NoteNote on this Pittenger family. From Tress Pittenger's "Pittenger Families" in his section on Cietje/Sophia Pittenger Smalley 1742:

Several of the genealogies show this last child of Hendrick and Maria Louw born about 1742 in Harlingen and married to Isaac Smalley without any other information...Pippenger says Isaac was the son of John Smalley and he and Sophia had Hendrick who was baptized 17 May 1767, at the Neshanic DRC; possibly Richard who was born about 1768 and married Catherine Emmons (was she a sister of Anchor Emmons who married Richard Pittenger, son of Jacob and Charity Hagerman?); Isaac baptized 6 October 1771, in the Neshanic Church; Abraham baptized 29 May 1774, at Neshanic and John who married Elizabeth Bradfield. D.F. Sattler of Woodville, Ohio has prepared a diagram of the intermarriages of the Smalleys, Smiths and Pittengers. It is quite complicated as four of the children of Henry Pittenger (Sophia's nephew) and Polly Barcus, married four children of Alexander and Ann Smith in Ohio and some of their children married Smalley cousins."1
Birth2 April 1764Henry Pittenger was born on 2 April 1764 in New Jersey. Findagrave says the parents of this Henry were Lt. John Pittenger and Annetje Wyckoff. They did have a Henry, I will look into it.
MarriageHe and Mary "Polly" Barcus were married, date unknown Polly and Henry had 8 children. Polly was supposedly the sister of his brother Nicholas's wife Lidia.2
Residence1821As of 1821 Henry lived in Wayne County, Illinois, the north west quarter of Section no 24 [?] of Township no 22 of Range no 15 of the District of Sand, sold at Canton
Will14 May 1827He signed a will on 14 May 1827 in Wayne County, Ohio. In the name of God, Amen. I Henry Pittenger of the County of Wayne and the State of Ohio, Being Weak in Body but of sound and perfect Mind and Memory, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following:
First and Principle, I commit my soul to Almighty God and My body to the earth to be deasantly Bearied at the Discretion of my Executors herein after Named, and after my Debts and funeral Charges are paid and my wife's thirds taken out, I Devise and bequeath as follows:
I give and bequeath unto my first Son John , unto my Second Son, Thomas, and unto my Son Daniel, the sum of one Dollar to eatch. I also give and bequeath unto my Daughter Rebeckah and unto my Daughter Lydia the sum of one dollar eatch. I also give and bequeath unto my youngest son Peter, my Plantation whereon I now dwell, being the north west quarter of Section no 24 [?] of Township no 22 of Range no [? looks like 15 but that doesn't make sense] of the District of Sand, sold at Canton to hold to him the said Peter is heirs and assigns forever. I also give and bequeath all the Remainder of my moveable Property and moneys whatsoever unto my son Abraham and my Daughter Mary to be equally divided between them, and lastly I hereby appoint John Smith of Wayne County, Ohio and William Dwire of Richland County Ohio, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former will by me made.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the Fourteenth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty seven.
