William Ellis, of Livonia, N. Y. Who writes as follows: "I feel that we may be justly proud of our ancestry. A people who brought good names with them, and noble thought and stainless honor. That these principles were inculcated in the minds of their children is shown in the following tribute to them: "Last Monday morning (June, 1888) the town of Richmond, N. Y. , lost one of its oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, in the death of Gideon Pitts, at the age of 81 years. Mr. Pitts was a nota...ble character, and he belonged to a historic family. His grandfather, Capt. Peter Pitts, of Dighton, Mass. , was a captain in the Revolu- tionary War. Peter Pitts, with his sons, Gideon and William, came soon after the close of that war to the foot of Honeoye Lake, where they settled. These men and their families were the civil, the religious, the political and the business backbone and the life of what is now the town of Richmond, for more than half a century. Gideon Pitts had nine children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the second, being born in 1807 on the old original homestead near the foot of Honeoye Lake.
