Harman Pitts, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Guilford County, N. C., in 
1823, a son of Samuel and Martha (Meredith) Pitts. Samuel Pitts was born in 
1793, and in 1815 was married to Martha Meredith, a daughter of David and 
Polly (Farrington) Meredith. In 1830, with a family of six children, they 
emigrated to Wayne County, Ind., and settled in what is now New Garden 
Township, buying 100 acres of land, mostly unimproved. Six children were born 
to them in Wayne County. All lived to be men and women, and ten of the family 
are still living. The father died in the eightieth year of his age, and his 
wife two years later, at about the same age. They were members of the Society 
of Friends, their children adhering to the same faith. Harman Pitts remained 
with his parents till his marriage, when he settled in Green Township, buying 
eighty acres of land. He has been prudent and industrious, and now owns 200 
acres of the best land in Wayne County. He was married in 1846 to Ruth, 
daughter of Thomas and Christiana (Thomas) Knight. She died in 1878, leaving 
eight children---Oliver H., William, Beulah Ann, Thomas, Isaac and Benjamin 
(twins), George and Jennie. In 1880 Mr. Pitts married Mary, daughter of Davis 
Pegg, and widow of William Fulgher. Mr. and Mrs. Pitts are active members of 
the Society of Friends.
