At this time, the ONLY wife listed for Peter Hitt, b. 1763, d. 1836, Greenville, South Carolina is Lucy and only a son 1. Henry Hitt, b. Abt 1799, Edgefield District, South Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location, d. Alabama is attached to the profile on their database.
Private you may want to get ahold of somewhere there and ask if there is anything in their records that has not been added yet.
Also, if you did DNA, that can help you pinpoint who you are sharing cousin relationship possibilities.
The only wife that I see for Peter Hitt b. 1763 is Lucy and one son for them named Henry. The source for the marriage to Lucy Hitt on 23 Aug 1796 is:
They Followed the Sun: Ancestors and Descendants of Zachary Taylor Coxand Elizabeth Jane Hitt, Lorena W. Bush and Mary Cox, (Name: Hot Springs, Arkansas, 1983;), 256.
We'll have to search for records for another wife for this Peter Hitt if, in fact, he had one.
We're never bored, Cynthia!!!

Are we sure this Lucy (son Henry) married Peter Hitt of Greenville County, South Carolina? Because the marriage record is for Fauquier. Wasn't he in SC by then?
