I have Aldridge Hitt in my data base as follows; he is a descendant of Peter Hitt, the 1714 immigrant to Germanna in the Virginia Colony. Aldridge's parents were: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- 1. Peter HITT[1,2,3,4] was born on 1 Apr 1776 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He died about 1806/7 in Fauquier County, Virginia. Peter appears in the 1800 Tax List for Fauquier County, Virginia, listed as Peter Hitt, Jr. In the 1807 personal property tax list for Fauquier County, Peter's widow, Lucy O., is shown with no tithables but with personal property, which establishes Peter's death in 1806 or 1807. On 24 January 1810 after Peter's death, George James (second husband of Lucy (Rosser) Hitt) was appointed guardian of his Peter's children: Lucinda Hitt, Polly Hitt, Aldridge Hitt, Nimrod Hitt, and Elizabeth Hitt. Securitor's were: William James and Reuben Hitt, brother of Peter. On 23 November 1818, John Miller (husband of Nancy Hitt and sister of Peter) was appointed guardian of Peter's children: Lucinda Hitt, Polly Hitt, Aldridge Hitt, Nimrod Hitt, and Betsey (Elizabeth) Hitt. On 28 September 1819, Thomas Smoot (husband of Elizabeth Hitt daughter of Peter and Hannah (James) Hitt and a distant cousin) was appointed guardian of Peter's youngest daughter, Elizabeth Hitt. On 28 December 1819, Asa Hume was appointed guardian of Peter's four youngest children: Mary (Polly) Hitt, Aldridge Hitt, Nimrod Hitt, and Elizabeth Hitt. Peter Hitt died leaving no will. His children are named in Fauquier County, Virginia Deed Book 18, pp.186-187, when the land they received in the in the distribution of the estate of their grandfather, Peter Hitt, Jr., was sold to their uncle, Rueben Hitt. They were also named in the will of their uncle, Nimrod Hitt (Culpeper County, Virginia Will Book K, p. 170), but their relationship was not clear. There is a Chancery Court case, Hitt vs Hitt Heirs, in Augusta County in 1870 that may have new information. Peter was married to Lucinda "Lucy" ROSSER on 23 Aug 1796 in Fauquier County, Virginia.[5,6] Bond was made on 9 July 1796.[7,8] Peter HITT and Lucinda "Lucy" ROSSER had the following children: +2 i. Lucinda HITT. 3 ii. Mary "Polly" HITT [9,2,10] was born on 14 Jul 1800 in Fauquier County, Virginia. She died about 1882 in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Polly was named an heir in the will of her uncle, Nimrod Hitt, probated in Culpeper County on 19 September 1825. Mary was living in a boarding house in Rappahannock County Virginia in 1850. She died unmarried. +4 iii. Aldridge A. HITT. +5 iv. Nimrod Milton HITT MD. +6 v. Elizabeth HITT. SOURCES [1]. Fauquier County, Virginia, Guardian Bonds 1759-1871; by Gott. [2].
