Magdalena, widow of Christian Neuschwanger, made a marriage contract with Jost Hite, 10 November 1741, "with the knowledge and consent of their Friends, Children and Relations." She promised him "Love and Obedience" and brought with her four heads of cattle, three horses and other personal property. Hite promised her "Christian love and faithfulness" and promised to provide her a home as long as she lived. Hite's sons witnessed the contract. Jacob Neuschwanger, Peter Stephens and Lewis Stephens witnessed Magdalena's list of property (Fred. Co. Deed Book "l," p. 16). Magdalena was apparently deceased by April 1758 when Hite wrote his will, making no mention of a wife (Fred. Co. Will Book "2," p. 487). For Hite's origins and family see Henry Z. Jones, Ralph Conner and Klaus Wust, German Origins of Jost Hite (Edinburg, VA, 1979).
