Edie Earl is a tireless campaigner for accuracy and against the spread of false connections. Many of us DO have Johann Jacob Heite in our data, but also have B.C. Holtsclaw's note that this is just a guess based on probabilities, not facts. The problem is when we casually pass along this to other researchers as if it were fact, forgetting to include B.C.'s note. This is what initiates and perpetuates an error. We, from time to time, need Earl to remind us to be more scholarly and be explicit where we are "only guessing". Regards, ...Mike Allen ----------Original Message------------------------------------- Can all these researchers of the Hitt Family be wrong??? Is only one person's information correct and everyone elses' wrong. I would love to see documents and such as to THE PROOF of who is right and who is wrong. I have found the "posts" of the last few days very interesting and very imformative in regards to where to look and research my own Hitt family. I couldn't say 'your right' or 'your wrong'. By posting, and sharing, we help each other in the places we all need to try to look for that PROOF... So, what is the correct PROOF anyway?? Edie Suttle, 7th Great Granddaughter of Johann Jacob Heite (Hitt)

Glenda, I don't have your Joseph Hitt, Jr. in my data -- perhaps Earl will. The closest I have is the s/o of Joseph Hitt, b. 1717, and Mary Cuntze. THIS Joseph Jr. (I don't think) could have been born in1784, his father would have been 67. ...Mike Allen ---------- From: HITT-L-request To: HITT-L Subject: Re: John Hitt Date: Thursday, November 05, 1998 3:35PM Hi, This is very interesting, as my husband's Baughan line married into the hit line and I am just now getting the Baughan line in the computer.

Angie, Yes, I have Balthasar Heite in my data as an ancestor of Peter Hitt, 1714 immigrant to Germanna. But has Earl has said in his message, there is no proof of this -- I have many un-proven individuals in my data. I do that so that I don't loose track of them until the time when some evidence is found. I should have stated this in my previous message. The John Hitt in question was b. January 08, 1759 in Fauquier County, VA. was s/o Henry Hitt & Alice Katherine Holtzclaw. Heny was born in Germanna. Earl is one of the experts on the Hitt line -- visit his website < http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/3596/ > for more and better information.

Mike, I think I have all the early information. Maybe not all of it but enough. On the Franks and Beaty lines have you checked the records in the Court house? Did you order a copy of the Coryell Co., History Book? If not I will get you the information on the Beaty Family. Thanks. 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. If I do I have forgotten it. I would appreciate any info you have on her.

Hi Barbara Nice to hear from you. Did I type all that. I am afraid so. I do not type as well as I use to. For some reason my brain tell my fingers to go there and they keep wanting to go over yonder. There is a lot of single spaced pages in this book. Too MUCH to type. It is not indexed so I have to scann through it. But it is a great piece of work. She has foot notes for everything. I have never met Gail in person, but I sure do love her for all the work she has done on these families. These families are on my fathers side. I would like to find out about a William Henry Holtzclaw who was b. in GA about 1850 and moved to Coryell Co. He married there twice and than vanished. I don't know if he died or what. I have a 95 yr old Aunt that lives in Lubbock. She m. my mother's only brother. She was a Holtzclaw. She is such a wonderful lady I would like to find her family for her. Her father was James "Dolly" Stephens Holtzclaw b. abt 1878 in Coryell Co., TX. I will be glad to help you if I can. I will look through the book and see if I can find something. Gail has gone back to Germany on the Holtzclaws, Franks, Hitts, Otterbach and others. All doccumentated. And of course the US. Keep in touch.

Hi, Yes I do manage to cover a lot of territory, especially with my computer. Sure makes ancestor searching a lot easier. I need to mention something. I have not done ANY research on the Hitt family and really never intended to. I don't pick up the Hitt Line until quite a ways back. Ok, here is what I have on John and Franky Hitt. John Hitt, eldest son of Henry Hitt and his wife Alice Katherine Holtzclaw, was born Jan 8, 1759, in Fauquier County, Virginia, and died in 1839, in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. He married Frances Banks on January 21, 1782, in Virginia or South Carolina. (I am copying from someone else's work about 1970s.)"At the present writing we know little about the background of Frances Banks. From the 1850Census she was born in Virginia ca. 1763. Some of her relatives moved to Edgefield County, South Carolina, probably at the same time that Henry Hitt and Alice Katherine Holtzclaw moved there, ca. 1779, from Halifax County, VA, and are later found on Edgefield tax rolls. Records indicate that relatives of Frances Banks also moved with her and husband John Hitt to Washington County, GA., ca 1786. Court records in Washington County show that Richard Banks bought land from John and Frances Hitt in 1806, when John and Fraces moved from Washington Co., Ga., to MO." If you have information on Franky Banks Hitt I would love to have a copy. John Hitt and his wife Frances Banks were in Missouri, at least by July 19, 1806, when they were listed as members of the first non-Catholic church west of the Mississippi River. On October 24, 1910, the Missouri Baptist General Association erected a monument two miles southeast of Jackson, MO. with the following inscription: "Here stood the Bethel Baptist Church, the first permanent non-Catholic church west of the Mississippi River, constituted July 19, 1806, with these members: David Green, Thomas English, William Matthews, William Smith, James English, Agnes Ballew, Thomas Bull, Clara Abernathy, Catherine Anderson, Anthony Rogerts, Edward Spear, Rebecca Randol, JOHN HITT, and FRANCES HITT. What hath God wrought?" And "on May 11, 1822, fourteen members of the Bethel Church were dismissed for the purpose of organizing the Hebron Church five miles southeast of Jackson. These were the Randol, Poe, and HITT families.".......I am skipping some because you may have all this and it is very long. >From Old Bethel Church by Jenkins obituaries for JOHN and FRANCES HITT were obtained: JOHN HITT, another charger member of Bethel, was born in 1759, probably in Georgia. He was an active member for nearly 50 years; and was never known to have swerved from his profession. In 1814 he was elected door keeper for the meeting house. After long and painful afflictions he departed this live November 2, 1839, in the eightieth year of his useful life. FRANCES HITT, wife of JOHN HITT, was born in Georgia in 1763. She was converted in 1804 and baptized by Elder Joseph Baker and united with Bethel Church in Washington County, Georgia. Coming to Missouri soon afterward, whe entered, as one of the constituent members, Bethel Church, by letter. She lived an orderly member 48 years, and fell asleep in Jesus May 17, 1852, aged 89 years." "It must be noted that Mr. Jenkins, in working with the records, saw that they entered the church by letter from Georgia, so he assumed that they were born in Georgia. Actually, both were born in Virginia, and married in either Virginia or South Carolina. They did not live in Georgia until 1783-1786. Also, the name 'Bethel' Church in Washington County, GA is an error, probably made by the church clerk who wrote these obituaries. The church in Georgia to which john and Frances Hitt belonged was Bethlehem Church and still exists near the town of Worthen (or did in 1968) in County of Washington, Georgia. A letter from the present clerk of this old church confirmed this. He said that JOHN HITT was reinstated in the church and a year later FRANCES united with the church. We can assume FRANCES was not Baptist until then, but probably Episcopalian as were most of the Banks family. " (I'm tired) CHILDREN OF JOHN HITT and FRANCES (FRANKEY) BANKS were: 1. WILLIAM, b.

"A Note Necessary - The above children of Rachel Hitt and Peter Franks will appear under Peter Franks IV. in the Franks Family Section of this book. The lineages for these children will be brought forward to the present generation." The Hitt Family: Addition Material From 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, JOHN HITT, #1968, residence Washington Co., GA, drew two blans, and WILLIAM HITT, #1962, residence Washington Co., GA, drew one blank. It is assumed that JOHN HITT left Washington Co., GA, about this same time. Cape Girardeau was in the Territory of Louisiana. The U>S> purchase of Louisiana in 1803, opened up vast land area in the middle Section of North America, and settlers rushed to take advantage of this. Cape Girardeau County was not formed until 1812, after the Hitt family had settled there." "Belated Census of Earliest Settlers of Cape Girardeau County, Missorui - William J. Gammon has gathered names from cemeteries of Cape Girerdeau County." I am assuming that you have these records. I have a whole page listed. All Hitts. "From History of Southeast Missouri:" "William Hitt, who became a member of Bethel church in 1812, and who afterward served as its clerk for a number of years, was one of the prominent members. He was the grandfather of the late Deacon Smith Hitt of Cape Girardeau Baptist church. Benjamin Hitt, who also united with Bethel church in 1812, was the father of the late Judge Samuel Hitt, of Cape Girardeau." "also, from same:" "In June, 1820, an organization was established on Apple Creek near Oak Ridge and it was formed into a church in September of that year.....BENJAMIN HITT is listed as one of the committee members who had charge of the organization of the church." Most of this research came for book Gail Felt Davis did as a research paper for a degree from a University. There is a lot of the Hitt, Holtzclaw, Otterbach, Frank and other families. She was very through in her research. She dotted all the i'sand crossed all the t's. Her work is well doccumented. She did a lot of research. Let me know if you can use more information. I hope I did not duplicate research you have done. Cassie PS I am still planning on sending you copies of the Beaty Family from the Coryell Co., History Book.

Thanks very much Cassie! That's a lot of great information. I think most of us who have collected Hitt family data have the older generations, leading back to the Germanna colony in VA and back to their German ancestors, but less on many of the more modern branches such as the one you describe. I for one am interested in following all branches to their present generations. If any of the Franks end up marrying a Beaty, let me know -- I've always thought that my wife and I were related <smile>. Let me know if you'd like information on the earlier generations of this line -- perhaps you already have it? Do you subscribe to the Germanna mail list?

My ancestors are: Peter Franks b.; 6 Dec 1781 in Wake Co., NC and died 14 Aug 1866 in Beinville Parish, LA. He married Rachel Hitt 5 Aug 1808, daughter of John Hitt and Frances Banks. This information was from the Bible of Peter Franks. They were probably married in Cape Girardeau Co., MO. Is the same John Hitt and Frances Banks as yours? Were yours in Wilkes Co., GA. also? I am descended from Peter and Rachel (Hitt) Franks' son Henry Franks (m. Nancy Crow in La.) their daughter Mary E. Franks who m. William Y. Hudson 1867 in Union Co., AR, their daughter Margaret "Maggie" T. Hudson who m. Levi T. Music. Henry Franks died in Coryell Co., TX in 1923.

Cassie, Hi ! You do get around <g> Looks like we have more in common than just the Pruetts and Cargills in Coryell. (If you remember, I'm tracking down the Beatys who married Pruetts in that area...) Like Pauline, I'm tracing my wife's Kemper ancestors who are related to the Hitts. We have data on the Hitts, from the John Hitt and Frances Banks family, back 5 generations to Balthasar Heite, b. 1596 in Nassau-Siegen, Germany. And, the Alice Katherine Holtzclaw's family, back 3 generations to Johann Holtzclaw. Also the Otterbachs (Alice Katherine's mother's line). To all, I'd love to have the additional information you have on the descendants of John Hitt and Frances, as my data stops with them, didn't have their children's names until these posts. Please keep your discusson on the list so all of us can benefit..

If this is a repeat message I'm sorry but I would like to find someone that it would be of use to. Please everyone don't be offended if your interested please email me privately. I think the book should be in the hands of a family member. But I will need to recover my cost. I found the book on the EBay Auction's. If anyone has an interest in the Family I purchased this book by mistake thinking it was a History of OK, MO, & KS Sun Rides High , Pioneering Days in OK, Missouri, Kansas, pubished 1973 by Nortex Publications, this book was kept by the publisher for 25 years its a new never read book, book is a hardback does not have an Index, 208 pages, History of the Burright Family starting in 1833 in Ohio, Thanks Pauline
