To Earl Hitt I went back and re read your message and found the information on Frankey Banks Hitt. The source for her birth and death date came from the church book. Where did the information on her parents come from? I still could not find a sourse for the birth date of her husband John Hitt. Is it in the church book also? It is probably as plain as the nose on my face, but I don't find it. Cassie -----Original Message----- From: Earl J.

This is my version of descendants of Benjamin Hitt and Sarah Cox. Although I have done quite a bit of research in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, I must give credit to Marie Hitt Stalone for much of this research. She and I are descendants of Benjamin's son John Green---she by his first wife, Fidilla Milton, and I by his second wife, Winnie Jane ____. Marie still lives in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. My line is as follows: John Hitt/Frances Banks Benjamin Hitt/Sarah Cox John Green Hitt/Winne Jane ___ Sarah Frances Hitt/William Riley McNabb Mollie McNabb/Orlando J. Harold Frances Harold/Lowell F. Cochran Kay Cochran Asher I hope this helps some/any of you. All the stray numbers are for my source footnotes....which did not come through when I transferred the file.

Janelle, I am a descendant of Nancy "Ann" Hitt's brother, Peter Hitt III, b. 1 Apr 1776, d. abt. 1806/7, m. 23 Aug 1796 to Lucinda O. Rosser, and I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one of his descendants doing genealogy. As to the Hitt/Heite controversy, I think that the weight of the evidence suggests that Peter Hitt was NOT Peter Heite, but the evidence is not conclusive one way or the other, so I'm keeping the Heite data in my database until something better comes along. Ray Bischer b4acres@tucker-usa.com

Sorry to be a pest, but I need another generation back to place this Peter Hitt and father Joseph. The only Joseph I have old enough to be father of a son b. 1745 Joseph Hitt, b. 1717, m. Mary Cuntze, The only Peter I have in that timeframe is Peter Hitt, b. February 01, 1755, s/o Harman Hitt and Mary Weaver, Peter Hitt, b. Bet. 1756 - 1760, m. Hannah, s/o John Hitt, b. 1715. -----Original Message----- From: Ben L Grove <BenLGrove@compuserve.com> To: HITT-L@rootsweb.com <HITT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, November 07, 1998 2:38 PM Subject: Re: DAVID HITT >Michael Allen, Hi This is the Peter Hitt Born 1745 in Faqueriur Co, VA , >son of Joseph, He died 1806 in Laurens Co.

Does anyone know anything about Sarah James who married Peter Hitt, Jr.? I am trying to learn if she might have been a sister to Catherine James who married Joseph Holtzclaw. The two couples married within a few years of one another in the same county. Catherine is my 5 g grandmother, and I have been unable to find any information about her. Thank you for any help or information. Sharon Lloyd

Dear Earl, The David Hitt info. you sent was excellent;; it filled in the only gaps I had between my grandmother Hitt and the immigrant, Peter Hitt. I am also getting lots of help from others on the Hitt line. I am amazed at how helpful people are in this hobby. Thanks Ben Grove

Michael Allen, Hi This is the Peter Hitt Born 1745 in Faqueriur Co, VA , son of Joseph, He died 1806 in Laurens Co. SC. Ben Grove.

Good morning, I want to ask a question? Some one probably gave the source in one of the messages. I did a quick check back but did not locate it. Everyone seems to have the same dates on John and Frankey Hitt. Birth date, Marriage date and death dates for each. There must be a source somewhere. WHERE and WAHT? Where did this information come from? Cassie

Ben, Earl. Ben stated that David's father was Peter Hitt. Do you know which Peter Hitt this was? Is this Peter Hitt, Jr. b. 1726, in Germantown, Stafford Co., VA ?
