    1. [VAMECKLE] Hite-Hyde-Roberts
    2. Anyone researching these folks?-----In Mecklenburg Co VA, Rachel Hite Roberts(widow) wrote her will on 29 April 1799 (processed 12 Oct 1801). In the will Rachel leaves items to her Granddaughter Susannah Hyde and Susannah's daughter Elizabeth Sangford Hyde(Sanford?-grear grand). All items lent to Susannah for her life time were to go to Elizabeth at Susannah's death. Francis Hester and Charles Hester witnessed the writing of the will. When the will was processed in 1801, Stephen Pettypool made oath with Howel Graves, his security, to replace Francis Hester who relinquisted his rights as adminstrator of the will. On 16 Nov 1801 an inventory of Rachel's estate (7 items) was filed by Daniel Durham(Duncan?of Caswell Co NC?), James Hester and James Williams. The index to Rachel's husband's(John Roberts) will (early 1790's) listing her as his heir. No reference to Joseph Hite in any of the documents I saw. It appears the legatee (Elizabeth "Hyde") was Rachel's great- granddaughter. Rachel Hite Roberts husband was John Roberts whose will was dated 11/23/1792 and recorded 9/10/1798. He names his wife (Rachel Hite Roberts) as his executor and left his entire estate to her. The will was witnessed by Francis Hester, James Kendrick and Hezekiah Tabor.
