I think we're cousins! I haven't done alot on this line and will be out of town the next week (North Carolina-so with a little luck, I might know know more later), but here's what I have: Isaac Hitchcock b. c. 1810 NC m. Salome Clouse b. c. 1815 in NC Children: Samuel Philip Hitchcock b.Apr 1836 IN m. Mariah Henrietta Holder Catherine Christine Hitchcock John M. Hitchcock (<== your line?) Andrew Hitchcock Joseph Marion Hitchcock b. Feb 1845 IN married Elmira Reed ***my line William Francis Hitchcock Sanford Hitchcock b. 12 Jun 1849 IN m. Emma (Anna?) J. Smith and Lillie Francisco Graham (Info - Hope Star Obit 4/20/1916) I am related to about anyone in the Moravian Cemetery or who has Hope ancestors in their lineage. My mother's maiden name was Essex. Diana Moore, Indianapolis IN I don't have that name in my files yet. My lineage is Sarah Jane Hitchcock, her father John Thomas Hitchcock, and his father Isaac. Isaac was born in NC., but all of his children were born in Bartholomew County. Isaac and his wife Sally are buried in Moravian Church grounds called Gods Acre. Does any of this match with your family? CatLvrBBW@aol.com wrote: Hi there-I am also related via Letha Hitchcock Essex. Is this your bunch? Diana Moore
