Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1279 Surname: ------------------------- First of all, there are so many Jonathan & Margaret Hiett's that one must be sure of which one is speaking of. I have a history of the Hiett's of Old Frederick (and Hampshire) County by Wilmer Kerns. To work down to the Jonathan that I believe you are referring to, it goes thus: John Hiett,Jr.>Evan Hiett>Jeremiah Hiett>Jonathan Hiett. Kerns has the following to say about this Jonathan: "Jonathan Hiett was born April 5, 1808, and died Sept. 16, 1887. He first married a Miss Parks and then, on Jan 24 1837, married Margaret McKee, who was a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Reid) McKee. Margaret was born in 1814 and died Aug 15, 1872, in Hampshire County. Her brother Robinson Joseph McKee, who married Maria Sommerville, was a major character in "Early History of Bloomery, W.Va.: A Pioneer's Perspective," published in the Dec 14, 1987 issue of The West Virginia Advocate." Kerns further notes that he is interested in corresponding with descendants, or with knowledgeable persons, of this Jonathan Hiett. I'm sure he would like to hear from you. Evan Hiett was my ggg-grandfather, and I am descended through his son Jonathan, brother to the above Jeremiah.
