A very tenuous link:
As you know, from your postings on this forum, James Pitt (c1806 to 1862) was draper at Scotland House, High Town, Hereford and married to Sophia, the daughter of substantial farmer Charles Rufford Bennett of Clehonger, Herefordshire.
In my, limited, experience the children of farmers often married children of other farmers – presumably because they socialised together – so I wonder if James Pitt was also from a farming family. He must have had some assets to open his business in 1830
In February 1833 a Mr Pitt of Ashperton (Herefordshire) advertised a reward for the return of a lost sheepdog if returned to him or Mr Pitt of Scotland House, Hereford.
It would be logical for the two Mr Pitts to be connected.
Census returns etc show a likely candidate as farmer Stephen Pitt (c1804 Canon Frome, Herefordshire) of Wassington Farm, Ashperton.
Stephen Pitt of Wassington, Ashperton married at Ashperton in 1830 Ann Bishop of Castle Frome.
So the Pitts seem to be farmers from Castle Frome.
Interesting that in 1841 at White House Farm, Canon Frome is farmer James Pitt (aged 62 who died 18th July 1841) and wife Elizabeth which would be right age to be the parents. Elizabeth died 25th March 1863 at the Stone House, Bosbury.
Her executors were sons John Pitt of Weston Beggard and Walter Pitt, ironmonger, of Ledbury.
The wills of either may give the link you are looking for.
