Earl please your comments on the following information. I think that the James Hitt that Barb is looking for is James b1784 s/o of Peter b 1763. Descendants of Peter Hitt Generation No. 1 1. PETER1 HITT was born 1763 in VA, and died 1836 in Greenville Co., SC. He married (1) UNKNOWN Bef. 1780. He married (2) MARY (HITT) Abt. 1818. Notes for PETER HITT: Names of children taken from will of Peter Hitt probated April 25, 1836 in Greenville Co., SC Children of PETER HITT and UNKNOWN are: 2. i. JAMES2 HITT, b. October 1784. ii. ELIZABETH HITT. iii. WILLIAM HITT. iv. NANCY HITT. v. JOHN HITT. vi. HENRY HITT. vii. ROBERT HITT. viii. SUSANNAH HITT. ix. THOMAS HITT. Children of PETER HITT and MARY (HITT) are: x. JOSEPH2 HITT, b. Abt. 1820. xi. ELISHA P. HITT, b. Abt. 1822. xii. JANE HITT, b. Abt. 1824. Generation No. 2 2. JAMES2 HITT (PETER1) was born October 1784. He married MARY MITCHEL. Notes for JAMES HITT: James Hitt appears in the 1840 census of Pickens County, SC with 1male 5-10, 1male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1male 50-60, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, 3 females 20-30, and 1 female 50-60. Most of the children of James and Mary appear in the 1850 Census of Cherokee County GA. There appears to be an error in the ages of the Hitt household headed by Mahulda Hitt. The ages of Mahulda, Jane, Nancy, and Rebecca appear to be off by 5 years when compared to data collected from Hitt family members by my Aunt Essie Rogers who is now near 90 years of age. Also they do not fit with ages of George and Benjamin C. Hitt listed as heads of household in the same census. B. C. Hitt's birthdate established from Biblical records.
