I am pleased to be joining this list and look forward to learning more about the Hitt family. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. My ggrandmother Cassie Isabella Hitt was born in Greenville, Co. SC about 1880 to J.R. (G.R.) and M.A. Hitt (nee Alice Holcomb?, family legend has it that M.A. was at least part Cherokee). By 1896 Cassie was in Danville (Pittsylvania County) in Southern Virginia where she married William R. Neathery 23 years her senior. Supposedly, Cassie had 12 siblings all girls (one who may have been named Katie) except a boy who died young. J.R. and M.A. are also supposed to have been born in South Carolina. I know nothing more about this line. It is an important line for me but has been a big dead end in my researches. Is there any connection to any of your research? I would love to be able to share anything I have. Best Regards, Eric Rodenburg Arlington, VA
