Old Pitts Family Photos

Here is Terry's mother's grandmother. They called her Big Mama. Her real name is Mattie Green Pitts. Green is her Cherokee Indian name. She was born on Indian Territory, Oklahoma.

Some of you might remember Terry Kent, in California. John & Terry Kent's paternal grandmother, Thelma Evelyn DeGeer Lippincott, celebrated her 100th Birthday in 2004.

Back to today and the old Pitts family photos that Terry received from her mother's cousin awhile back. Terry says her mother was born in Seminole, Oklahoma and believes that is where her family is from. Terry told me she does not know much about her mom's side of the family, but hopes to learn more since she has connected via email with her mother's cousins.

Here are more Pitts family photos that Terry Kent shared with us showing her mother's great-grandfather, Ruben Pitts (on the left). He fought in the Civil WAr Confederate Army.

The photo on the right shows Terry's mother's grandfather, Chester Franklin Pitts, who was killed during a fight in the late 1920's.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
