    3. Hi Carol Berens Thanks so much for the Hites information. Elizabeth "Betsy" Bowers Hites is the one you listed in the Old Church Cemetery, Roundhead, Hardin County, Ohio. She is my GGG-Grandmother. My records are as follows: Elizabeth "Betsy" Bowers b: Abt. 1784 in Virginia d: July 15, 1840 in McDonald Twp,., Hardin County, Ohio. I don't know what twp. Roundhead might be in. John Hites, her husband, of course then is my GGG-Grandfather. You show: "Born 02-18-1790 Died 12-06-1876. See Vet Listing) Old Church Cemetery-Main Section- row 8- number 07". I don't know what the note "See Vet Listing" means. My records are: John Hites III (since I have several John Hites I have given them numbers) b: February 18, 1791 in Virginia d: December 06, 1876 in Hardin County, Ohio. Would you have a map showing the location of the rows and numbers for this cemetery? It was a rainy day when we were there and went to two cemeteries near Roundhead. They were just a short distance from each other and on opposite sides of the road. The one nearest town was the older one, looking back I don't think I saw any Hites headstones. We visited 20 cemeteries during Memorial week and some 65 gravesites. So I am having trouble remembering just what was where. I was born near Belle Center, but over the border in Hardin county. I still have an elderly Aunt living near there. My cousin, her son, is trustee of the Fairview-McDonald cemetery. He gave me a book on the "McDonald Twp. Cemetery inscriptions." I found an interesting site on cemeteries; www.interment.net/us/oh/index.htm . Some of the listings are detailed and of course some not. The other listing you supplied was of Caty A. Hites; and she is in my file. I did not have the exact dates for her. With what you supplied then she must have been born Mar 6, 1840. Then her family is: Descendants of George Hites 1 George Hites b: July 14, 1815 in Jefferson County, Ohio d: May 15, 1898 in Hardin County, Ohio . +Elizabeth Hatfield b: March 20, 1815 in Maryland d: November 10, 1896 in Hardin County, Ohio m: December 27, 1836 in Carrol County, Ohio ... 2 William Hites b: 1838 d: 1912 ....... +Caroline Spencer b: 1844 d: 1919 ... 2 Cathy Ann Hites b: March 06, 1840 d: August 15, 1842 ... 2 Alfred Hites b: 1848 d: April 18, 1914 ....... +Alice Woolard b: 1858 d: 1921 ... 2 Marianna Hites b: 1849 d: 1849 ... 2 Nancy Jane Hites b: 1852 d: 1874 ....... +P.
