The Daniel Pittinger family, with daughter Elizabeth removed from Somerset County, New Jersey. Settling in Frederick County, Maryland with his father-in-law John Biggs, in 1737 or 1738. After the death of Eva Brink Lambersen, the first wife John Biggs, in 1735.

Daniel Pittinger Purchased "Royenton Plains" from Henry Munday 1745, and leased Lot # 3 of the "Monocacy Manor", March 30, 1745, which was next to his father-in-law.

Hannah Pittinger married, Thomas Browne, circa 1764 in Frederick County, Maryland. Thomas Browne died in the late seventeen-eighties. Before his death, he was a tenant on lot # 63 (one hundred thirty three acres) on the north border of the Monocacy Manor, near Creagerstown. His father-in-law Daniel Pittinger and John Biggs were lease holders of north border of the Monocary Manor near Rocky Ridge. His parentage, nor his place of burial have been established. After the death of her husband, Hannah and her children removed to the Catoctin Mountains, settling in Foxville, then known as "Foxes Ranges," and occupied a log cabin on a tract they christened "Brownsville." This original log cabin burned shortly after she moved in and was attributed to another family member that had thought they would receive this property. Hannah is shown on the United States 1790 census as a widow and living at Foxville with her younger children in the same household. The original property, located along the southern end of what today is Manahan Road, Foxville, near the entrance to the Browne family burying ground and borders of the presidential retreat Camp David and Catoctin Mountain National Park. In 1807, Hannah Pittinger Browne purchased from the estate of her grandfather John Biggs other land in the vicinity.
