Suzanne, Did you check any of the sites and evaluate if the information was supported by fact? I was on the 2007 trip that went up to the Hitt farm at Eisern and there were documents verifying the farm as belonging to the ancestor of the Hitt also on the trip. These documents were given to that Hitt.

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.
