Alvin's parents divorced between 1911 and 1920, with his father marrying secondly Ellen Unknown with whom he appears as his wife in the 1920 census. I haven't yet found Alvin nor his mother Rosa "Rosie" in the 1920 census but she married secondly to Henry Wheatley and thirdly in Dec 1924 in Union County to William "Bill" Spooner. Alvin is living with his mother and step-father in 1930 in Smackover Township, Ouachita County, [[Arkansas]].

Pitt, who was born in North Carolina in 1818. He married Cynthia Parker in Marshall County, Ala., on May 30, 1841. My great-grandfather Thomas M. Pitt was born in 1848 in Alabama. Thomas married my great-grandmother, Margaret Mahan, in Monroe County, Miss., in 1868. Margaret died sometime after 1880 and Thomas later married a woman named Belle Armer (could have been Belle Armon or Belle Ray). It is believed that Thomas and Belle had one son named Oliver Pitt. My great-uncle Oliver moved from Hayworth, Okla., to Louisiana. He and his wife, Rosa Lee Dorriss, had a son, Alvin Monroe Pitt, my father's first cousin, who lived in Mobile and died there March 4, 1959. I have been told that Alvin was the grandfather of Brad Pitt, the actor. I've also been told that Alvin M. Pitt's obituary in the Mobile Register stated that his son "Billy" was living in Shawnee, Okla. at that time. William (Billy) Alvin Pitt was the father of Brad Pitt, who was born in Shawnee in Pottawatomi County, Okla. in 1963. I understand also that the Isbells are cousins of Brad Pitt. Would anyone in the Mobile area help me locate Alvin M. Pitt's obituary to verify this information? This would be very much appreciated.

In 1910, he is single and living with his parents in Webster County, [[Louisiana]]. However sometime before early 1912 he must have either married or had a relationship with [[#Rosa Lee Dorris|Rosa Lee Dorris]] and by this they had their son [[#Alvin Monroe Pitt|Alvin Monroe Pitt]], born 7 Mar 1912 in Oklahoma, possibly in McCurtain County. Oliver appears in a World War I Draft Registation Card living in 1917 in Haworth, McCurtain County, Oklahoma where he states that he is then married and working in a saw mill. It's not yet clear if he was still married to Rosa (if they ever married at all), or if he here is married already to his second wife Ellen Unknown. He and Ellen appear in the 1920 census, married, no children, living in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. In 1922/3, Oliver married thirdly to Hazel Unknown, and by 1930 they had moved back to Webster County, Louisiana where he is living with his wife, 6-year-old son Stanton Pitt and widowed mother Belle. ===Primary sources for 8=== *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7884&iid=LAT624_534-0512&fn=Oliver&ln=Pitt&st=r&ssrc=&pid=159285309 1910 Census of Police Jury Ward 2, Webster County, Louisiana] : "Thomas M Pitt, Head, white, male, 61, married second time, 20 years ago, AL/TN/GA, Farmer, General Farm, rents home; Belle, wife, female, white, 56, married second time, 20 years ago, mother of 4, 3 living, TN/TN/TN, no occupation; Oliver, son, male, white, 18, single, TX/AL/TN, farm labor, home farm; (also living with them is the William Alford family)" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6482&iid=OK-1851808-5296&fn=Oliver+Brown&ln=Pitt&st=r&ssrc=&pid=2002882 ''World War I Draft Registration Cards''] : "Oliver Brown Pitt of Haworth, Okla., born 24 Aug 1891 in Honey Grove, Texas; Saw Mill Labor for Anne Shoveltowl Co near Harris Okla; married; primary support of mother and father; medium build, medium height, light blue eyes, brown hair, no disabilities; 5 Jun 1917" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6061&iid=OKT625_1469-0139&fn=Oliver&ln=Pitt&st=r&ssrc=&pid=111170578 1920 Census of Frisco, McCurtain County, Oklahoma] : "Oliver Pitt, boarder, male, white, 28, married, TX/AL/TN, Carpenter, house; Ellen, boarder, female, white, 25, married, MO/TN/MO, no occupation" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6224&iid=LAT626_825-0314&fn=Oliver+B&ln=Pitt&st=r&ssrc=&pid=36138607 1930 Census of Police Jury Ward 2, Webster County, Louisiana] : "Oliver B Pitt, Head, rents home, 38, married, first at 31, TX/AL/TN, Farmer, General farm; Hazel, wife, 23, married first at 15, SC/NC/SC, no occupation; Stanton C, son, 6, LA/TX/SC; Bell Pitt, mother, 76, widow, TN/TN/TN, helper" ==Rosa Lee Dorris== Rosa Lee Dorris was born 6 Jun 1893 in Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas, the daughter of [[#George Washington Dorris|George Washington Dorris]] and his wife [[#Nancy Rosaleen Smith|Nancy Rosaleen Smith]].
