Subj: John Hitt Date: 98-01-17 From: emcraw@azstarnet.com (Ellen M. Crawford) Reply-to: emcraw@azstarnet.com To: HITT-L@rootsweb.com I have proof of my husband's Hitt family back to and including John Hitt born about 1759 VA died 1839 Cape Girardeau MO 1839. He married Frances (Frankie) Banks who was born 1763 VA and died 1852 in Cape Girardeau MO. I have been told he was a son of Henry Hitt and Alice Katherine Holtzclaw. I am fairly new to Hitt research and wonder if anyone has more info on this family? Thanks. Ellen emcraw@azstarnet.com Ellen, My Stanley Hite, and his brother Isaac lived on the Dan River in Halifax Co VA in 1782. Henry Hitt and wife Alice Holtzclaw lived within 2miles, also on the Dan River, along with Harmon Miller wife also Holtzclaw(Elizabeth). About 1805 Isaac Hite moved to MO. Everyone says Henry Hitt moved to Laurens SC and died there about 1790, but no legal will or census record has been found. Do tell me more about Frances Banks, because there was a Richard BLanks 1780 nearby in VA. Also John Lawson sold land to Henry Hitt. The TALLEY family from Halifax VA was also in Cape Girardeau MO, by 1870. Charles Hite Subj: Re: Hitt- Girar. MO Date: 98-01-19 From: emcraw@azstarnet.com (Ellen M. Crawford) To Charles Hite Last Oct I was at the Salt Lake City LDS Library and found a book "The Cox-Bates Family and Related Families" by Ruby Cox Eddleman, 927.273C739e. In it she states that Frances Banks was a daughter of Gerrard Banks and Frances Bruce. I was also given this info by a member of the Randol family. -I don't know where they got that information. Mary Katherine Hitt married John Randol in Cape Girardeau. -Frankie Banks was living with this family in the 1850 Cape Girardeau census. There is a little more on the Banks family. Those are the only clues I have at this time. According to all I find John and Frankie Banks Hitt moved to SC, then GA and then to MO. Mary Katherine Hitt Randol gives her place of birth as GA in the 1850 census. Mainly I am just trying to gather all the info I can. I am very glad to hear from you and hope to hear from you again. How does your family fit in?
