Person:Frances Pitchforth (2)

NOTE:

Fanny Pitchforth had four children out of wedlock. She had Elizabeth with one of the sons of Richard and Elizabeth Bailey but it is unclear if her relationship to (William or Joseph or James) Bailey was ongoing and that he was the father of her other three children. For the time being I have grouped all under the relationship to Bailey (for easy access) but it seems highly questionable that all were his children.

Elizabeth Pitchforth arrives in Litchfield and New Haven Counties Connecticut 1846-1849ish. Coming with her was her paternal Grandmother, Elizabeth Bailey, her half-sister Mary Bailey Sharrock with husband John Sharrock, her half-sister Elizabeth Bailey Hulme with husband William Hulme, her half-brother Joshua Bailey.

It is uncertain if her Grandfather Richard Bailey was among them or if he had left England to go straight to Michigan to be with his oldest son James Bailey & wife Sovina (Pitchforth) Bailey & family.

Fanny appears to live out her life in Elland until her death. Her daughter Harriet Pitchforth Kaye is at nearby Northowram and daughter Sarah is probably at Elland having either married one of the Crowthers or Stotts.
