To the person or persons looking for information concerning the Hitt family, I suggest an online search of the Family History Library catalog at _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) Look for the tab labeled Library. Click on that. There is a drop-down menu--choose Surname. Type in the surname Hitt. There are multiple publications which name a family named Hitt, some of which probably do NOT pertain to a family of that name in colonial Virginia. However, this publication has been filmed, and possibly it is a publication of the Germanna Memorial Foundation although the catalog listing does not mention such. It is by B. C. (Benjamin Clark) Holttzclaw -- Peter Hitt, John Joseph Martin and Tilman Weaver of the 1714 colony and their descendants. At the top of the listing [on the screen which appears when you click on title] is *View Film Notes* If you are near an LDS center, you can order on loan that film--for a few bucks. If not, write to the Germanna Foundation and see what they have. However, I would look over all the other listings, as you may stumble on a cousin author--live or deceased!!! I think one of the Kempers had a Hitt bride!!! But they went to Kentucky and from there -- everywhere!!! Incidentally, my experience in Columbia SC for about a week, trying to find some earlier records of my Sumter Co., SC Revolutionary War sergeant was a lesson in frustration. The archivist told another patron: Not only was Cornwallis here, but also Sherman came through!!!! You figure!!! E.W.Wallace E.W.Wallace **************Life should be easier. So should your homepage.

I am the person looking for Daniel Hitt.  I am very familiar with the book you mention since I own a copy.  I believe the book is listed as Germanna Record No. 1.  The information given is minimal at best.  I often use the LDS library catalog and use the Family History Center on a regular basis.  Asking on the list was a last try for me having exhausted all other avenues. I am sorry you had a difficult time in Columbia SC.  I am guessing you were visiting the SC Archives.  Sherman and Cornwallis both did a lot of damage to courthouses and records when they marched through.  Unfortunately, Sumter County really took a hit from them both.  If you will contact me off list, I will see if I can find anything for you on your Revolutionary War sergeant.  I use the archives on a regular basis..
