Leanor's two uncles, John and her grandfather Peter Hitt, were American soldiers in the Revolution."
So she's not a daughter of John Hitt, Sr.
That's a garbled sentence. John Hitt, Jr., of Fauquier County may have served in the Revolution, and Pvt. Peter Hitt certainly did.
Was she really born 1762?
The older brothers of Pvt. Peter were Elias & Charles.
This is what the phrase actually is from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/40501184/leanor-proudfoot
Leanor Hitt, a native of Fauquier County, Va. and of German descent, married John Proudfoot of Scotland. Leanor's two uncles, John and Peter Hitt, were American soldiers in the Revolution.
So that comment re "John and her grandfather Peter Hitt, were American soldiers in the Revolution" may be incorrect and only added due to their confusion over who she is.
Thank you, Erica Howton
