Hi Sue, Pete's maternal grandmother was a Hitt and we have her line down to Peter. His grandfather has a mother whose maiden name was Hitt. No one of the grandmother's side has any idea where she comes from. She was Sarah James Hitt..born 2 July 1835, married John Fouchee Brown 11 Feb. 1853 and died 25 Dec. 1913. She's buried at Bethel Church just west of Culpepper, Va. I'm trying to find her line. Thanks so much for answering...Pat
