I just went to the Germanna Foundation web site and I see what happened in the transfer of data from the old site to the new one---the village of Eisern belongs to John Hofmann, listed just below Peter Heite/Hitt. I will make sure that Rehbach is listed as the home village of Peter.

When we were in Germany last year, we went there for the first time because 2 Hitt descendants were on the tour--the tour is conducted according to the various families that are represented by the travelers. One of the Foundation Trustees, Horst Schneider, presented Russell Hitt with some documents having to do with the land on which Peter Hitt lived on in Rehbach. I will ask Russell exactly what they were, I think at least one of the documents was a map showing his land. There is no house left on the land of Peter Hitt, just farmland, but it's a beautiful place. It's also not far from the villages of the other members of the First Colony. I'll check the web site and make sure that Eisern is not the village of Peter Hitt, it's the village of John Hoffman/Huffman and Tilman Weber/Weaver.

I am pointing out that I have located no information to support that statement. And if someone else has the documentation to prove it, I would appreciate knowing the source. Dr. B. C. Holtzclaw gives Peter Hitt's birthplace as Rehbach near Kaan. Information posted on a website may or may not be factual. Sources help the reader decide the veracity of the information given.

Google: Hitt Eisern Germanna There are several things that are well-documented that puts the First Colony Hitt in Eisern. There is a story of the 2007 Germanna Tour that tells of the Hitt homestead which we visited.
