Elizabeth married John Pittman, son of Nicholas and Catherine Pittman, in 1787 in Shenandoah Co, VA. They emigrated to Harrison Co, Indiana, with their children in 1809 and settled on the land upon which lies the Hottell Cemetery. The cemetery was referred to in John's Will: "The farm on which I now live except three fourths of an acre including the grave yard it being the South West quarter of Section thirty one in township three South, range three east of the Second principal meridian…". Based on this reference, I speculate that John and his first wife, Elizabeth Mauck, are buried in the cemetery even though no stones for them can be identified. Elizabeth was likely the first to be buried in this cemetery.
