To Ben L. Grove: Here is the data on David Hitt: 1. David HITT[1,2,3] was born about 1776 in Fauquier County, Virginia. 1850 Census age was 74. He died on 5 Aug 1857 in Greene County, Alabama. He was buried in Greene County, Alabama. The 1790 Federal Census for Laurens County, South Carolina lists David Hitt head of household with 1 male 26-45. It is believed that David moved to Alabama about 1830 and settled on land which became Sumpter County on 18 December 1832. The 1840 Federal Census lists David Hitt as living in Sumter County, Alabama with nine in his family. He is found in the 1850 Census for Greene County, Alabama, living alone, therefore, it might be assumed that his wife had died and all his children had married or left home. According to the 1850 Census, David was 74 years of age and was living next to Herman Hitt, who is believed to be a son. Other Hitt families lived near David including: Charles, Richard, Benjamin M., Oswell, and Sarah J. Hitt. David Hitt's will can be found in Greene County, Alabama, Probate Book R, page 84. David was married to Jane MEEK (daughter of John MEEK and Elleanor MILLS) on 14 Mar 1803 in Laurens County, South Carolina. Jane MEEK[2] was born on 9 Jan 1783 in Laurens County, South Carolina. She died on 5 Jul 1848 in Greene County, Alabama. Obituary (Southern Christian Advocate, V. 1, Brent Holcomb, 14 September 1848): "Departed this life on the 5th day of July at her residence in Green Co. Ala., sister Jane Hitt, daughter of John and Elleanor Meek, well known old fashioned Methodist in Laurens dist., S.C. married David Hitt 14 March 1803, moved to Tuscaloosa Co., Ala., in 1818, thence to Green Co., Ala. . . . left husband and children." Jane was buried in Greene County, Alabama. David HITT and Jane MEEK had the following children: +2 i. Nancy Ann HITT. +3 ii. Edna HITT. +4 iii. Celia Ann HITT. +5 iv. Rev. Solomon Jasper HITT. +6 v. John Milton HITT. 7 vi. Samuel HITT[4] was born about 1815 in Laurens County, South Carolina. +8 vii. Larkin Hersey HITT. +9 viii. Eleanor Elizabeth HITT. +10 ix. Elizabeth Jane HITT. +11 x.

I believe Ted is right, here's the information on Joseph in my data base: 1. Joseph HITT Jr.[1,2,3,4] was born about 1742/43 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He died before 21 Feb 1826 in Culpeper County, Virginia. Joseph came to Culpeper County, Virginia about 1778 and lived there until his death. He is listed in the Culpeper tithables after 1790 (Geramnna Record No. 1, p.23). Joseph probably could not read or write English as on 21 January 1778 he witnessed a will for Bromfill Long by signing with his mark (Ref: Bromfil Long's will, St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper County, Virginia, dated 21 January 1778, proved 20 July 1778). Joseph patented land in Culpeper County: "Joseph Hitt assignee of French Strother assignee of William Thompson heir at law to Rev. John Thompson dec'd. 150 A. (9 Feb 1747) in Culpeper County in Great Fork of Rappahannock River adj. said Thompson, Samuel Coleman. 14 Mar 1798. (Inclosed F. Strother 10 May 1798)" (Patent Book Y, page 28). A Joseph Hitt appears in the 1800 Tax List for Culpeper County, Virginia, District of David Brown. He is listed as owning three horses. This listing could be for Joseph Hitt's son Joseph Hitt III. (Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol 62, No. 1, January 1954, p. 124). The 1820 Federal Census, page 78, lists Joseph, age 45+, and his wife, age 45+, with two slaves.. The will of Joseph Hitt, Jr. (Will Book K, page 228, Culpeper County, Virginia) was written on 2 November 1825 and proved on 21 February 1826. (This will can only be that of Joseph, Jr. If it were the will of Joseph, Sr. he would have been 108 years old when it was written.) Joseph's wife must have died before he made his will as there is no mention of her in his will. The will lists his heirs as: sons William, John, Joseph, James; daughters Peggy Vaughn (Baughn) and Mary Barnes. His third daughter died before the will was written. The text of the will is as follows: In the name of God Amen I Joseph Hitt of the County of Culpeper and State of Virginia being oald and infirm But of sound mind and memory do make and constitute this my last Will and Testament hereby revoaking all wills by me heretofore made as to what worldly goods it hath pleased God to bestow on me my wish is that it be disposed of in the following manner. First that my executor hereafter named out of my personal estate pay all my just debts and the residue if any I wish desposed of in the following manner I give and bequeath to my son William Hitt the land whereon he now resideth as surveyed by Wiat Camp containing one hundred and sixty seven acres more or less on his paying to the Trustee of Betsey Baughan hereafter named one hundred dollars To my daughter Mary Barnes one hundred dollars To my daughter Peggy Baughan one hundred dollars and that my Executor out of my personal estate pay to the said Trustee of Betsey Baughan twenty five dollars To Mary Barnes twenty five dollars and to Peggy Baughan twenty five dollars and the residue of my land whereon I now liv I giv I give and bequeath to my three sons, to wit, John Hitt Joseph Hitt and James Hitt to be equally divided between them the residue of my estate of every discription my will and desire is that it be divided in the following manner my son John Hitt to have one seventh part my son Joseph Hitt one seventh part that my son William Hitt have one seventh part that my son James have one seventh part and that the Trustee of Betsey Baughan have one seventh part with the twenty five dollars above mentioned with the balance that will be coming to her seventh part at the final settlement of my estate and that he pay her annually the legal Interest and at her deceas to be eaqually divided btween all her children To my Daughter Mary Barnes one seventh part To my Daughter Peggy Baughan one seventh part and lastly I do nominate and appoint my son William Hitt Executor of this my last Will and Testament and also Trustee for my Daugther Betsey Baughan In witness hereof I have hereunto fixed my hand seal this 2nd day of November 1825 NB it is my wish that my Executor pay my son James Hitt one Feather Bed & furniture to Betsey Baughan one Bead and Furniture. Witness Present his Daniel Broson Joseph X Hitt Seal James Hitt mark Thomas C. Brown Joseph's estate was inventoried by Joel Baughan, Leroy Kilby and Joseph R. Sibert and given a value of $736.30. An estate sale was held on 3 March 1836. The following Hitt Family members were among the purchasers at Joseph's estate sale: Joseph, William, John, Sr., Peter, Joel, James, Sr., Marshall, and James Hitt, Jr. (Culpeper County, Virginia Will Book K, 286 ff). In William Hitt's accounts for the estate were payments to Marshall Hitt "for services rendered", to Joseph Hitt, Jr. for "amount of warrant against estate", and to William Taylor "for crying the sale". A note in the account reads "deduct $25 each for three sisters willed to themselves". (Culpeper County, Virginia Will Book N, p. 377) There is much confusion over the children of Joseph, Sr. and Joseph, Jr. For this record the children of Joseph Hitt, Jr. are based upon his will and the Federal Census. The identity of the Hitts in attendance at the Joseph Hitt, Jr. estate sale are believed to be related as follows: Joseph Hitt was most likely the son of Joseph, Jr. and he is identified in this family record as Joseph III. Marshall and Peter Hitt are believed to be grandsons of Joseph, Jr. and the sons of Joseph Hitt III. (Joseph, Jr. had a brother named Peter but he died before Joseph, Jr.) James and William are also believed to have been the sons of Joseph, Jr. Joel was a nephew of Joseph, Jr.; the son of his brother John. The John, Sr. listed at the estate sale could have been Joseph, Jr.'s brother or his son, as both were still living at the time. James, Jr. remains unidentified. Joseph's wife is unknown, however, their children were: +2 i. Elizabeth "Betsey" HITT. +3 ii. Mary HITT. +4 iii. John HITT. +5 iv. Joseph HITT III. +6 v. Margaret "Peggy" HITT. +7 vi. William "Billy" HITT. 8 vii. James HITT[5] was born before 1790 in Culpeper County, Virginia.[6] The will of Joseph Hitt, Jr., identifies James as a son and heir (Will Book K, page 228, Culpeper County, Virginia, written 2 November 1825, proved 21 February 1826). James Hitt is listed in the 1830 Federal Census for Culpeper County, Virginia with 2 males 5-10 years, 1 male 40-50 years, 1 female under 5 years, 1 female 5-10 years, 1 female 30-40 years, and 1 slave. James Hitt is listed in the 1840 Federal Census for Culpeper County. This listing shows the household as: 1 male under 5 years, 1 male 5-10 years, 2 males 10-15 years, 1 male 15-20 years, 1 male 50-60 years, 2 females under 5 years, 1 female 5-10 years, 2 females 10-15 years, and 1 female 30-40 years old. It is believed that the family moved away from Culpeper County before the 1850 Federal Census was taken. SOURCES [1] B. C. Holtzclaw.

I am a descendant of Peter Hitt. I am looking for more info. on DAVID HITT, born in Virginia in 1776. His father, Peter, moved to Laurens County, SC in 1785. David was still in Laurens Co. in the 1810 census. In 1823 he bought land in Greene Co. , Alabama. He may have lived in Noxobee Co. MS between 1810 and 1823. He died in 1857. I am trying to find the names and birth\death dates of his children. I believe my GG Grandfather, LARKIN H HITT SR, was his son. Any info would be appreciated. I belong to the Germana Foundation, so I have pretty good records of the Hitts in Virginia until they went to South Carolina. Ben L Grove benlgrove@compuserve.com

Hi, I think it would help us all, if the list could do a line by line generation proofing. Starting with the oldest verified information that we have including sources. This list has been in existence for over two years now, we have some great minds at work here, let's see if we can't prove our Hitt ancestry. Ideas welcome! Take care, Yvonne in Burke, VA Vive la USGW!

Hello Earl, I can not speak for others on the list but I had been warned about the errors. Chan Edmondson told me quite some time ago about the errors of the Hitte and Holtzclaw Families works which were done earlier. I know that they are in error and I will not use them. I will go back a little way in Virginia and that is all. I do not know what those errors were, I just know that there was a lot of mis information printed on these two families. For me, last night was the first time I have used the Hitt List. I have not researched the Hitt family. I will visit your site and learn what those errors were. I was told that there were a couple of Hitt family gurus on the List and that sometimes would step in and correct the errors. Glad to meet you. Gail Davis did research on these early families but I now realize that she used previous researched material and probably copied the errors also. Thanks, from me at least. I sure want to read your Hitt Missouri when you send it. Cassie in Texas -----Original Message----- From: Earl J.

Hi; Recently I found out that my ggg-grandmother was Frances Hitt. The 1850 SC census has her 50 years old married to James Bridges who was 75. I was told that she was possibly from NC. I have no other information. I would appreciate it if anyone has any information . Thank You. Bill Bridges Spartanburg,SC

Hi Michael, I have Balthasar Heite in my family also (I think most of us do), I have abt. 1590 as his birth date and married ? Rehbach abt. 1631. Is that pretty much what you have? BTW, is that the John Hitt born 1750 in Germana Germany? I hope we can all help one another with this crazy puzzle called Genealogy.

no matter how careful we are there are still gonna be errors found that out while taking to a cousin age 99 wow what mistakes even family members make barb

Perhaps the following will help with the John and Frances (Banks) Hitt discussion. This is information directly from my computer data base and was developed over several years or researching the Missouri Hitts. 1. Henry HITT[1,2,3,4] was born about 1719 in Germanna, Essex County, Virginia. Henry was born at Germanna in Essex County (now Orange County, Virginia). He died after 1783 in Edgefield County, South Carolina. Peter Hitt, Henry's father, willed him only 100 pounds cash money. This could be interpreted that Peter had disinherited Henry, however, it is more likely that Henry was given his inheritance when he and Alice Holtzclaw married. The couple also inherited property (300 acres) from Alice's father, Jacob Holtzclaw and they were living on this land in 1759 according to Jacob Holtzclaw's will. On 22 July 1748, Henry was deeded 200 acres of land on Goose Creek in Prince William County, Virginia (Later Fauquier County) by George Doggett and his wife Ann. (Prince William County, Virginia Deed Book L, p. 58). On 18 October 1764, Henry and his wife Alice, Halifax County, Virginia, deeded the same 200 acres of land to Henry's brother, Harman Hitt (Fauquier County, Virginia Deed Book 2, p. 301). On 15 November 1764, John Lawson, Jr. of Orange County, North Carolina deeded to Henry Hitt of Halifax County 202 acres of land on the South Side of Dan River (Halifax County, Virginia Deed Book 5, p. 249). On 12 October 1779, Henry deeded to John Dicke 202 acres of land in Halifax County. (Halifax County, Virginia Deed Book 11, p. 371). Based upon the land records cited, it is believed that Henry and Alice moved from Culpeper County to Halifax County, Virginia in about 1759 and were living in South Carolina in 1779. Henry would have been about 53 years old when his father died and he and Alice may have already moved to Edgefield County, South Carolina. It is believed that Henry died intestate in South Carolina before the 1790 Census was taken. No will has been found. Henry was married to Alice Katherine HOLTZCLAW (daughter of Hans Jacob HOLTZCLAW and Anna Margaret OTTERBACH) in Fauquier County, Virginia. Alice Katherine HOLTZCLAW[5,6] was born about 1724 in Fauquier County, Virginia. Alice Katherine Hitt was named as a daughter and the wife of Henry Hitt in the will of her father, Jacob Holtzcalw, which was dated 15 January 1759 and proven 19 February 1760. They were living on the land they inherited from Alice's father in 1759. Henry HITT and Alice Katherine HOLTZCLAW had the following children: +2 i. John HITT. 3 ii. James HITT. 4 iii. Peter HITT. 5 iv. Ailsey HITT[7,8]. 6 v. Susannah "Susan" HITT[7,9] was born about 1766 in Fauquier County, Virginia. One family history says that this Susan Hitt married Art Gladstone in December 1786, which is believed to be in error. Others have Susanna Hitt, daughter of John Hitt (Henry's Brother) as married to Arthur Gladstone in 1786. 7 vi. Anna HITT. SOURCES for Henry Hitt [1] Francis B. Heitman.

John HITT[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] was born on 8 Jan 1759 in Fauquier County, Virginia.9 He died on 2 Nov 1839 in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. He was buried in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. John Hitt was a revolutionary soldier and on or about 28 March 1833 he made application for a pension (Cape Girardeau County, Book D, page 332). John also served in the South Carolina Militia under Col. Anderson. On 14 June 1833 John filed an indenture in favor of his son John, Jr. leaving him all his farm animals and personal property (Cape Girardeau County, Book H, page 130). It is believed that John and Frances moved to South Carolina about 1785 before the birth of their daughter, Elizabeth. The 1790 Census for South Carolina shows a John Hitt in the 96th District with 2 males over 16, 4 males under 16 and five females. They moved to Washington County, Georgia, where John and his son, William, entered the Georgia Land Lottery in 1805, but neither was awarded any land. To be eligible for the lottery, they were required to have lived in Georgia for at least a year. John was a Baptist and there are several notes in the Bethlehem Church minutes concerning John and Franky in 1803 and 1804. (Bethlehem Church at Warthen, Washington County, Georgia). Then, in about 1806, John and Franky sold their land in Georgia to John Banks, Franky's brother, and moved on to Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. (The Hitts traveled with a group to Missouri; that group including: William and Charity Matthews, John and Nancy Sheppard, Thomas and Jane English, and Catherine Anderson; See Bock Book) On 19 July 1806, John and Frances Hitt joined with Rev. David Green, George Lawrence and Henry Codkerham, deacons, and with a group of other Baptist residents to organize a Baptist church called "Bethel." (First permanent Protestant Church to be established west of the Mississippi River) The church ceased to function in about 1868. (History of Old Bethel Church, Mrs. Edgar Bock). Many of John and Frances' children were also members of the Bethel Church. On 24 October 1906, the Missouri Baptist General Association erected a monument at the Old Bethel Cemetery. The inscription on the monument reads: "Old Bethel Baptist Church, the first permanent non-Catholic church west of the Mississippi River. Constituted July 19, 1906 with these members: Thomas English, Leaunde Green, Jane English, Agnes Ballou, Thomas Bull, Edward Spears, Anderson Rodgers, John Hitt, Clara Abernathy, Catherine Anderson, Rebecca Randol, Francis Hitt, William Mathews. The Missouri Baptist General Association commemorated with a celebration and the erection of this monument Oct. 24, 1906." The Old Bethel Cemetery is located in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri; 3 miles south, slightly east of Jackson, and a mile west of Hwy. 25, on the farm of William A. Lowes. John appears in the 1829 Tax List for Cape Girardeau as the present claimant on 225 acres of land (original Patentee, Daniel Doigin); and as present claiment on 200 acres of land for which James Cox was the original claimant. Before John died he deeded his land to his sons. On 5 October 1819, he deeded to his son John Hitt, Jr. 255 acres of land, "in consideration of the natural love and affection for my son John Hitt, Jr.".(Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, Land Records, Jackson, Missouri, Deed Book E, pp 113/14). On 17 August 1827, "in consideration of the nartural affection I have to my beloved son Henry Hitt of Cape Girardeau County, I give all the plantation I now live on containing two hundred and seventeen acres, to revert and descend to him at my death". (Deed Book G, p. 162). On 29 June 1819, John and Frances Hitt deeded five acres to their son-in-law, James Cox, Jr., for the sum of twenty-five cents. (Deed Book E, pp 59/60). On 14 June 1833, John conveyed all his personal property to his son John Hitt, Jr. (Deed Book H, pp. 129-130). John evidently felt that a will was not required of him since he had deeded all his land and personal property to his sons during his lifetime. John and Frances are both buried in the John Hitt Cemetery at Cape Girardeau. John Hitt's obituary can be found on page 53 in the Old Bethel Baptist Church minutes. Franky's obituary can be found on page 65 of the minutes. On 9 November 1839 the following note appears in the minutes of the Bethel Baptist Church near Jackson, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri: Church conference opened by prayer and proceeded to business. Resolved that a biographical sketch of the life of Bros. Jno. Hitt, deceased be placed in the Church Book. The Bethel Church unanimously agreed in a resolution that a biographical sketch of the life and conversation of their Decd. Bros. John Hitt be placed in the Church Book and a memorial of departed worth. "John Hitt fromthe best information we can obtain, has been a member of the Baptist Church near 50 years all of which time we have reason to believe has never once swerved from his profession, but has been a very orderly and an exemplary christian, showing the reality of his profession although confined to his home for a long time. Yet he was extremely patient under all his affection. He departed this life Nov. 2, 1839. Firmly fixed in the faith he had lived in. In the 80th year of his useful life." Note: B. C. Holtzclaw (Germanna Record No. 5) wrote that John, the son of Joseph Hitt, Jr., who married Frances Holtzclaw moved to Cape Girardeau, lived, died and is buried there. This is incorrect. Holtzclaw listing of John and Frances (Banks) Hitt's children is also incorrect, although all the Hitts were from the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area. Holtzclaw cited mostly the grandchildren of John and Frances (Banks) Hitt. John was married to Frances "Franky" BANKS (daughter of Gerard BANKS Jr. and Frances BRUCE) on 21 Jan 1782 in Halifax County, Virginia.[10] Frances "Franky" BANKS[6,11,8] was born on 8 Sep 1763 in Halifax County, Virginia. She died on 17 May 1852 in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. She was buried in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. The 1850 Census for Cape Girardeau County, Missouri lists Frances living with her daughter, Mary, and her husband John Randol. She gave her age as 87 born in Virginia. Frances died at the home of her daughter, Mary. On 13 November 1852 the following note was made in the Church Book of the Bethel Baptist Church: "Sister Frans Hitt departed this life the 17 day of May A.D. 1852, she was born Sept. 8, 1763, and was baptised by Bro. Joseph Baker in 1804 in the state of Georgia, Washington County, in Bethel Church, she move from Georgia to Missouri, Cape Girardeau County and was received by letter into the Bethel Church A.D. 1806. Making in all an orderly member of the regular Baptist Church forty eight years." John HITT and Frances "Franky" BANKS had the following children: +2 i. William HITT. 3 ii. Elizabeth HITT[2,12] was born on 4 May 1785 in Edgefield County, South Carolina. She died young. +4 iii. Benjamin HITT Sr.. +5 iv. Anna HITT. +6 v. Rachel HITT. +7 vi. John HITT Jr.. +8 vii. Mary Katherine "Polly" HITT. +9 viii. Sarah HITT. +10 ix. Henry Banks HITT. 11 x. Ailsey HITT was born on 7 Jun 1805 in Washington County, Georgia. He died in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. Died young. SOURCES for John Hitt [1] Beatrice Myers & Vada Phillips. Hitt Highlights, Supplement to Benjamin Hitt & Nancy Curnal, their Antecedents and Descendants. Private Publication, 10 Aug 1987.

Interesting, Here we go again. I would be very interested in ANY PROOF that Peter Hitt, 1714 immigrant to Germanna, is related to the Heite/Heide family that Balthasar Heite is said to be the progenitor. The only reference to this is B.C. Holtsclaw book, Germanna Record No. 5, in which even he says that the relationship is only probable, no proof. I have a complete discussion of this and other controversies surrounding the 1714 Hitt family at my web site: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/3596/ I have also researched all of the Missouri Hitts, and have collected information about them from many of their descendants. I will try to share some of this information in the next few days. Earl J.

Hi to everone! I am so happy that I asked about the Hitt/Banks/Holtzclaw families. I want to thank everyone who has answered me personally and for the messages on the Hitt List. I also like to have any information I can find on any of the descendants of a family I am researching. If you think it would be of interest to anyone I will post my husband's line from John Hitt and Franky Banks. I have gotten a lot of information from other people but on his direct line I have lots of proof, so feel comfortable with it. I would love to exchange info with any and all. Isn't genealogy wonderful? Ellen Cassie wrote: > > OH I would like your descendency from John Hitt and Franky Banks. > And also do you have information on Frankey Banks? I don't have any.
