Oh, boy, I will need some time to conduct some in depth research on this one! We will need sources other than trees, whether they're Wiki trees, or My Heritage or Family Search, we will look for actual records for James Abner Hitt and his parents.

I will probably have to do this on the weekend as I'm traveling for work the rest of the week, BUT I will try to get some research done while I'm away, I'm pretty sure we can find the right families.

The only references to the name "Whitfield" that I see in the Database are:

Peter Whitfield Hitt b. abt. 1818 in SC, the son of Lazarus Hitt and Edna Fachie
m. Amelia Easley
James Whitfield Hitt b. 1855 in MS with no wife, but a son named John Henry Hitt b. abt.
1871 in TX.

I'll do some digging and see what I can find about the Whitfields and about James Abner Hitt!

Thank you, Barb

James Abner Hitt is my line, He was married to Joanna Morgan. His parents were Peter Whitfield Hitt and Sarah Jane Mitchell. Peter Whitfield Parents were John Hitt and Catherine Tucker. John Parents were Peter Hitt and Jane Stanfield (this is from marriage Abbevlle South Carolina and my DNA matches to the Stanfield family) Peter Hitt parents were Henry Hitt and and Alice Catherine Holtzclaw.. I am pretty sure Henry Hitt and Catherine is not buried in Jackson Mo. Peter Whitfield Hitt and Whitfield Hitt are two different persons. I don't who came up with Peter Whitfield Hitt
parents as being part Indian named Peter Hitt and Sarah Whitfield.
I have a tree on Ancestry.com that list all the info on my Hitt family please feel free to look at it. It is listed under dubois family tree
