Elizabeth DeWitt, b, 1813, Ky.d 1882 Pike Co, Ill. Thomas Reddick Susan Dewitt b, 1814, Ky. m Thomas Houston. Emma Jane DeWitt, b,,1817, Ky. m Danial fisher . Sarah Ann DeWitt, b, 1822 Ky. d 1850 Br, Co, Ill. m Jonas W, Houston. the history books say he brought with him another son, William Martin, but we believe this to be a possible grandson. they would have been to old to have a child that young, by the dates on the gravestone. anything you can find on any of these families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Marjorie DeWitt/Bailey
