[I apologize if this comes through twice, I didn't get it back the first time I tried to post...] I had always wondered about the Proudfoot line, now in the process of searching the net for a source for the book you mentioned, I ran across this interesting URL: Barbour County Families - HITT FAMILY -- Descendants of Bathalsar Heite, six generations in Barbour Co. , by David Kuhl at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvbarbou/hittdk.htm Also, I found a source for the book at: http://wvweb.com/www/MPC/ ---------- From: HITT-L-request To: HITT-L Subject: Leonor HITT (d. 1829) & John PROUDFOOT (d. 1823) Date: Tuesday, June 09, 1998 11:49AM When researching another matter, I came across the following description in the "Family History" section of a book called "History of Barbour County, West Virginia - From its Earliest Exploration and Settlement to the Present Time" by Hu Maxwell (1899 - Acme Publishing Co., Morgantown, WV - reprinted in 1997 by McClain Publishing Co., Parsons, WV). I am posting it to the list in the event that it may be of interest to someone researching this line. [.. clipped ...]
