Thanks George - Yeah - those Hitches come from a collateral line of mine Ezekiel and George Hitch of Hebron/Mardela I believe and maybe Philip Hitch of Laurel, DE. Actually, I think they are the latter but I do not have my files here with me at the moment.

If you think |some of them stopped off in Norfolk, VA you may be interested |in looking at the Norfolk History web site: |_http://www.usgwarchives.org/va/norfolkcity/norfolkcitycem.html_ |(http://www.usgwarchives.org/va/norfolkcity/norfolkcitycem.html |) which has a new look. All of the cemeteries in Norfolk are |listed on this site with the names of those buried in each. |Unfortunately, there is no master list of names across all |cemeteries. In my case I focused on Elmwood/Cedar Grove |Cemetery and Forest Lawn where generations of the maternal |side of my family are buried. I noticed over forty CANNON |surnames and some HITCH names in these three cemeteries. |There may be other Delmarva names there as well. | |And on a note of civic pride I encourage you to explore other |features on Norfolk history at this site. | |George Bacon | |For Mike Hitch: Mike, Last year I found out that a Hitch |family whom I have known must of my life here in Norfolk has |Eastern Shore roots. | | | |**************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in |your budget? |Read reviews on AOL Autos. |(http://autos.aol.com/cars-BMW-128-2008/expert-review?ncid=aola |ut00050000000017 ) |*************************************** |QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING? |Visit The Lower DelMarVa Roots Mailing List FAQ: |http://www.tyaskin.com/handley/ldrfaq.htm |------------------------------- |To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to |LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word |'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body |of the message |
