After comments from Earl Hitt I have reviewed census data for 1820, 1830 and 1840 for James Hitt in Pickens County SC. The 1830 census shows 14 children--6 boys and 8 girls in the family. The census lists 2 males under 5, 1 male 5 to 10, 1male 10-15, 1male 15-20, 1male 20-30, and 1 male 40-50 (James) and 1 female under 5, 2 females 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 2 females 15-20, 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 40-50 (Mary?). According to my other information the children with their age in 1830 were. 23 James, Jr. b. October 13, 1807 21 Sarah Hitt b. January 18, 1809 20 Susannah Hitt b. December 25, 1810 18 Thomas Hitt b. September 10 , 1812 16 Huldah Hitt b. June 1, 1814 14 Jane Hitt b. April 26, 1816 12 Leonard Hitt b. April 19, 1818 10 Nancy Hitt b. April 28, 1820 8 Rebecca Hitt b. March 31, 1822 7 Elender Hitt b. July 2, 1823 5 George Hitt, b. September 14, 1825 3 Benjamin C. Hitt b. April 15, 1827 2 Martha Hitt b. September 11 1828 <1David Hitt b. September 24, 1830 These ages fit almost exactly the the 1830 census data. This is also true for the 1820 census data for James in Pickens county SC when the youngest child would have been Nancy. By the 1840 Census only the 3 younger males are still at home are still at home and the 5 of the girls. Since Hulda(Mahulda), Jane, Nancy, Rebecca, and Martha appear in a family unit in Cherokee County Ga in 1850, I must assume that they are the girls in the 1840 census. Sarah, Susannah, and Elender are either married, living in another family, or deceased by 1840. The ages given for James and his wife (Mary) also agree with the birth dates of 1784 for James and 1789 for Mary. At this time I have found no trace of James after the 1840 census. Mary appears in the 1870 census of Cherokee county GA as head of house with daughters Nancy and Martha. Again the ages fit with previous data. None of this says anything about the father of James although I still suspect that he is the son Peter b. 1763. As I continue my search I appreciate any help or comments.
