"Virginia Soldiers of 1776," states that Joseph Witt was born in Halifax County, Va. in 1750, that he marrried Sarah.....(Huguenot and family records show that he married Sarah Kimbrough) and that the couple had nine children, as follows:

Nathaniel, Joseph, Mourning, Mary Martha, Sarah, Silas, James, John, and Elizabeth.

It also states that Joseph Witt served with North Carolina Troops during the Revolutionary War. It does not list the name or designation of the Unit with which he served. It also states that he died in Tennessee in 1824. The exact place of his death has not been definitely established. It is known that many of the Witts of Virginia moved to the states of North Carolina and Tennessee right after the Revolutionary War, having been given grants of land for their Revolutionary War services. Joseph's brother settled on Long's Creek in what is now Hamblen County, Tennessee. Records of the State Land Office of Tennessee show that on Nov. 1, 1786, Joseph Witt was given a grant of land from the state of North carolina, in what was then Greene County. In those days, Greene was a large acreage which was later divided into several counties and boundary adjustments, placing some of it in the state of Tennessee.

A logical conclusion to be drawn from the facts is that Joseph Witt settled in what is know Dandridge, Jefferson County, Tenn. Records found in Dandridge, Tennessee show that on March 25, 1786, Joseph and Sarah Witt were members of a church near Dandridge, Tennessee. County records of Jefferson County, Tenn. also show that in Feb. 1797 Joseph Witt made in Jefferson County a deed by which he transferred land to one William Galbraith. In that same year Joseph Witt and Duke Kimbrough, said to have been a relative of Joseph's wife, Sarah Kimbrough, were among those appointed to organize a church on Dumlin Creek. Those records point to the fact that Joseph Witt lived for a considerable part of his life, after leaving Va., in Jefferson County, Tenn.
