Hi cousins, A couple of days ago I was going to copy all the Hitts in Culpeper Co., VA using the 1850 index as a guide. Amazingly there were none listed for that county. I thought it strange as they were there in 1860 and in 1840, so I took a look at the census itself. Guess what? Lots of Hitts. So if you're depending on that printed index, don't. I copied quite a few but didn't have time to finish, but will be glad to share what I have so far, if you're looking for anyone there at that time. Judith
