See > Thomas Dodson Sr in Fauquier VA--see Joseph Hitt in Pr William > White,Sorry, I have no more info than what i already posted. I am so confused about this family name. I also believe sometime when the Hitt/Hittsons came from England they may have used the name Eidson. I found an Alexander Hittson and his father was Boyce Eidson. He was a natural son to Boyce. Have never been able to prove this but myself and a couple other cousins researching believe the same. I hope i havent confused you more. I wish i knew what alexanders fathers name was. I have another cousin that has done research and as soon as she gets time shes going to send me what she has on this family, although i dont think she knows who his father was either. I do not know where alexander was in 1790. I knew Thomas Dodson was Rhodas Father and have about 3 more generations back on them. But i come from his first wife Mackey Royall. I have a couple questions for you, Why was alexander in the Pittsylvania marriage bonds(is this were he married mackey royal, i dont have this info). Also were did you find Thomas Dodson Will and could i get a copy. Also you mention a Joseph Hitt, who was he married to and where does he fit in. I am going to look through my stack of papers and see if i cant place him in 1890. Do keep in touch, maybe both of us can figure this family out. > ==== HITT Mailing List ==== > 2,500 Discussion Lists!!!
