I think the three men appointed were friends from East India, because I don't think his daughters were ever married. I have found on his daughter Agnes and Helen is that they died relatively young, Agnes died at the age of 21 at Baird 1796, but I think it is more like Bairn. She is buried in the same cemetery as her father as to Helen I found an article that said she died in London 1799, but it did not say her age. I have ordered a letter from the British Library written to her from A david something in India, but I do know that both articles did use Pittullo as the last name and stated that their late father was James Pittullo and no mention of husbands, unless I'm missing something.
As to Cecilia I don't think they were married and if they were it would probably have been in India, I did find a death for a Mrs. Pitullo relict of (blank) died in 1798 in Calton Hill.

I have found a lot of information, but the holes are so frustrating. In two years I hope to visit Scotland and London, and then maybe I can fill the holes...LOL

Thanks again everyone.
