Hi Everyone, Sorry about that bit of spam that got through. Apparently the Hitt List was not the only one. Here is a note from Rootsweb Admin, they were hit with 11,000 piece of spam e-mail today! I personally trashed over 300 pieces of it myself : ( Subject: Re: Have Rootsweb Mailing lists received ...

I haven't done any analysis of our spam volume over time. I'm curious too -- there have been several things that I'd like to plot against our spam receipts. It's likely to be difficult to do a sensible analysis because spam is delivered in surges, not in smooth increments; we get days with almost no spam, and then days like today when we got about 11,000 spam messages. One thing I am positive of is that even if SAFEeps turned out to be an evil spammers' trick, our use of the system could not increase the amount of spam sent to a *particular* list. We did a "domain-wide opt-out" with SAFEeps, meaning that we instructed them that the whole domain is not to receive any spam. We didn't supply them with any individual addresses at RootsWeb.com, so they would have no way of knowing individual mailing list addresses. -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative system obfuscator and hack-of-all-trades Take care, Yvonne in Burke, VA Vive la USGW! ************************** MOGenWeb State Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~mogenweb/mo.htm MO, KS, NC and DC Archives Manager USGenWeb National Advisory Board CC Rep SE/Mid-Atlantic Region http://pluto.beseen.com/boardroom/p/18312/ ICQ#1541292 mailto:hen1@idt.net

Hope this helps someone, this was sent to me from a cousin. Edie Dr. Willis Washington Hitt was born on his father's farm in Bourbon County, KY., February 11, 1801. Dr. Hitt's father, the Rev. Martin Hitt, was a great grandson of Peter Hill, who came from Nassau-Siegen, Germany and settled in Fauquier Co., Va., in 1721. Martin Hitt was widely known as an abolitionist; from his father, Harmon Hitt, he inherited ninety-three slaves, whom he educated, and in 1815, with his wife and nine children, slaves, and live stock, moved North to his farm(now part of the City of Urbana, Ohio where gave his slaves their freedom.) When Dr. Hitt was about eighteen years old he took a severe cold, which resulted in the loss of his left lung, and this loss was the cause of his choosing the profession of medicine and surgery. He commenced the study of medicine in 1822, under Dr. Hichman of Sharpeburg, Ohio and the following year went to Baltimore to attend the University of Maryland, from which he was graduated with honors at the age of twenty-four. Dr. Hitt then made an extended trip West on horseback going as far as Vincennes and Terre Haute, Indiana, on the Wabash River. Returning, he settled in Boonsboro, Md., and commenced the practice of medicine. Here he received an appointment as surgeon in the U. S. Navy, but Marine life not being congenial he soon resigned his position and returned to private life to carry on his chosen profession. A few years later, he moved to Hagerstown, Md., and in 1830 moved to Vincennes, Ind., where he lived until the time of his death, August 18th, 1876. Dr. Hitt was married in 1827 to Mary, daughter of Isaac Reynolds, of Baltimore, by whom he had four children, Isaac R., Dr. Willis M., Mary (widow of General Moses R. Walker) and John W. Mrs. Hitt died in 1836, and in 1840 the Doctor married Miss Ellen Shotwell of Rahway, NJ, by whom he had three children; Ellen, Milton and Edwin. Mrs Ellen Hitt died in 1897. In early years Dr Hitt's professional duties covered a large territory in Indiana, Kentucky and Southern Illinois. He was frequently called as far as Terre Haute, making the trips on horseback until the rail road was built. We find an account of his early surgical operations in the Western Journal of medical and Physical Science (1832, page 350) entitled "History of a Sarcomatus Tumor, - It's Extirpations." It was published by request of the Medical Bureau of the 1st Med. Dist. of Ind. (Note-the patient was 24 years of age, tumor 32 inches in diameter, patient living at time of Dr. Hitt's death). The Medical profession in general, as well as Dr. Hitt being greatly hampered for want of medicine, he was prompted to go into the drug business. As it was before the days of Ranks or R. R. he sent $1250 by messenger to Baltimore and Philadelphia for a supply and on its arrival opened the first drug store in Southern Indiana. The stock was soon greatly enlarged, and he carried on successfully both a wholesale and retail business. He celebrated his 50th anniversary of the study of medicine by retiring from active practice in 1872. Dr. Hitt was greatly interested in educational matters and in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was one of the founders of Asbury Universally, in 1837 located at Greencastle, Indiana, was a member of the first board of Trustees and remained a member for 18 years and was president of the Joint Board in 1861 and 1862. In early days he went to the meetings on horseback. He also took an active interest in the Vicennes University, being a trustee for over thirty years, and for seventeen years president of the Board. Indicative of the Doctor's general popularity in his district, it might be mentioned that, in 1850 he was elected a member of the State Constitutional Convention for Knox County, Indiana by an overwhelming majority. He always took an interest in the financial matters of his home town. He was one of the directors of the old "State Bank", and for many years, and until his death, a director in the Vincennes National Bank, which he helped to organize in 1862. Sour se of this history came from "A History of Washington County Maryland" >From the Earliest Settlements To The Present Time. Including A History of Hagerstown By Thomas J. C. Williams 1968

I show that Henry Hitt b. 1799 in Edgefield Co., SC had two daughters by the same name. The first one I show was by unknown wife #1. She was born in 1831 and married Robert Warnick in Georgia. The second one by Hannah Stover was born in 1843 and married Pink Waldrip. Do I have this correct? Can anyone help me out? Gordon Sewanee

Hi All; This will be my first posting to the list. I am looking for information on Frances Hitt. I know very little about her. She born about 1800 and married James Bridges. She was probably born in either North or South Carolina. I do not know where she died. This is all I know. I only found her surname yesterday. I would certainly appreciate any information you folks may offer. I look forward to working with all of you. Thank you. Bill Bridges Spartanburg,SC
