General Notes: Husband - Peter Hitt
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LISTS:
There is an overabundance of Peter Hitts. Each of the 5 sons of the immigrant Peter named one of his sons Peter. The Fauquier Co. Personal Property Tax Lists allow us to correlate 1) "Peter on the river", 2) wife Hannah, 3) sons Presley and Harrison and 4) death in 1802. Peter III (son of Peter II, who in turn is a son of the immigrant Peter I) appears in the Personal Property Tax List for the first time in 1797 and is always close to his father. He is thus easily identifiable. Peter, son of Joseph, and Peter, son of Henry, left Fauquier Co. with their fathers. Peter on the river is thus the son of John or of Harman. Since Harman appointed two attorneys in 1797 to distribute his property among his children and referred to "Peter or his heirs" in the document, we can deduce that Harman's son Peter had previously left Fauquier Co. and that his father did not know whether he was alive or not. Since Peter on the river died in 1802, he must be John's son.
The following entries in the Personal Property Tax List refer to some Peter Hitt. They are in addition to the entries of Peter II and his son Peter III.
1782 is the first year that a list of men required to pay a tax on personal property is available for Fauquier Co., Virginia. The columns are 1) white males >21 (1783-1787) or white male tithables >16 (1788--), 2) white males 16-21, 3) Negroes (1782) or Negroes >16 (1783--), 4) Negroes <16 (1783-1787) or Negroes <16 and >12 (1788--), 5) horses/mares/colts/mules, 6) cattle, 7) amount of tax, 8) names of tithables >16 in the household other than the person chargeable with the tax. "1TN" means the district of commissioner Travers Nash, arbitrarily assigned the number '1'. "2CP" is the district of commissioner Charles Pickett, arbitrarily assigned the number '2'. Commissioners come and go; the districts are stable.

How do we interpret this sequence of entries? Clearly the latter entries correspond to John's son Peter. Are all of the earlier entries his or do some correspond to Harman's son Peter? Since John's son is a landowner in Fauquier Co. from 1788 onwards, it seems unlikely that he would be absent from the Personal Property Tax List. Moreover, after 1783 he is married. In 1783 and in 1784 there are 2 Peter Hitts in the list. It is instructive to look at a facsimile copy of the original list. The entries marked 'H' in parentheses are positioned in such a way as to suggest that they corresponds to Harman's son and those marked 'J' in parentheses are close to John's widow and sons.
It may be that both Harman's son Peter and John's son Peter were in Fauquier Co. in 1783 and in 1784 and that in about 1786 Harman's son left Fauquier Co. He may have gone with his uncles and cousins to South Carolina. It is also possible that the second Peter Hitt in 1783 and in 1784 is Joseph's son Peter.
In 1798 there are 2 similar entries for Peter Hitt. One is designated "T. Run", which might mean "Turkey Run" or "Thumb Run". Both are associated with this Peter Hitt. I conjecture that he was living close to the boundary between the 2 districts and that he was counted in both. Presumably he did not have to pay the tax twice.
LAND in FAUQUIER CO.:
John Hitt, Peter's father, owned 216 acres. He died in 1782 and in the Fauquier Co. Land Tax List for 1783 John Hitt with 50 acres, Mary Hitt with 141 acres and Elias Hitt with 25 acres are contiguous in the list. 50 + 141 + 25 = 216, and it seems very likely that Mary, John and Elias inherited their land from John Hitt, dec'd. They remain in the list as contiguous entries until 1787, and then in 1788 Mary and Elias vanish and John with 144 acre and Peter with 72 acres are contiguous. 144 + 72 = 216. We assume that Mary is the widow of John Hitt who died in 1782 and that John, Elias and Peter are his sons. Peter continues to be in the list until 1800 as the owner of 72 acres, and John is in the list as the owner of 144 acres until 1810. Peter is always in the same district as his brother John.
In 1809 and in 1810 Hannah is the owner of 100 acres said to be "of Fairfax"; in 1811 and in 1812 (the last year for which I have seen the list) she owns 228 acres said to be "of Marshall".
WAR of INDEPENDENCE:
In 1841 Hannah Hitt, widow of Peter Hitt, applied for and received a pension based on the military service of her husband in the War of Independence. Earl J. Hitt points out that several DAR records incorrectly attribute this service to Peter Hitt II. He lists 7 of them.
Pension Application W7732, Hannah Hitt, widow of Peter Hitt:
On September 7, 1841 Hannah Hitt made the following declaration under oath before J. A. Marshall, a Justice of the Peace for Fauquier Co., for the purpose of obtaining a pension based on the Revolutionary War service of her deceased husband. 'Camden' refers to Camden, South Carolina. Search in Google for 'Camden' + 'Baron de Kalb' for background information.
"that she is a resident of Leeds Manor in the County and State aforesaid; that she is as near as she can state aged about seventy-eight years; that she is the widow of Peter Hitt, who was a private soldier in the army during the revolutionary war; that he, the said Peter Hitt, enlisted for seven years under Captain Elias Edmonds; that his enlistment took place in the year seventeen hundred and seventy-seven; and that he remained either in the army or as a prisoner of war until its close, when he was released by an exchange of prisoners; that at the time of his entering the service he resided in the County of Fauquier; that he was engaged in the battle at Camden in the month of August 1780, where he was taken prisoner, after being badly wounded, and detained as a prisoner until the exchange aforesaid; that she has often heard her husband, in his lifetime, say, that if General Gates had taken Baron De Kalb's advice, and retreated the evening before the battle of Camden to Rugglee's Mills, that he would not have been defeated; that he, Peter Hitt and his comrades fought over Baron De Kalb until the cavalry came on them, when they were compelled to leave the dead body of their commander; that he, the said Hitt, owed his life to the chance of getting under a bending tree when the cavalry charged on them, in which posture he was slashed by sword cuts on each of his arms and sides, when he fell, and was afterwards carried, faint and sick, to the enemy's prison-ship, where it was a long time before he was able to do any thing for himself, but as soon as he got able to do any thing, they set him to picking ropes. And the said Hannah Hitt saith, that she has no documentary evidence in her possession in support of this declaration.
"The said Hannah Hitt further declares, that she was married to the said Peter Hitt, on the day of April, in the year seventeen hundred and eighty three; that her husband, the aforesaid Peter Hitt died on the 31st day of August 1802; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but shortly thereafter; and that the marriage took place previous to the 1st day of January seventeen hundred and ninety-four, viz, at the time above stated; that she was married in Turkey Run Church, in the county of Fauquier, by old Parson Craig, and hath lived in the said County ever since."
Hannah (her X cross) Hitt
On October 26, 1841 Charles Kemper, Sr. of Fauquier Co. made the following declaration under oath:
"that he and Peter Hitt enlisted on the same day in August in the year 1777, at the town of Warrenton, then and now the seat of justice of said County of Fauquier, for the term of three years, under Captain Elias Edmonds, and marched under the said Captain Edmonds to Yorktown, in the same mess, until sometime in the year 1778, when this affiant was discharged by furnishing a substitute, and returned home, leaving Peter Hitt in service, who went with his Regiment to North Carolina, and has no doubt he the said Peter Hitt remained in service the whole term for which he enlisted."
On July 7, 1843 Hannah wrote a letter stating that her husband had served in Col. Marshall's regiment of state artillery rather than in the infantry and on that basis asked that her pension be increased from $80 per year to $100 per year. However, the matter of artillery versus infantry and whether there had been 2 Peter Hitts, one in infantry and another in artillery, had been discussed much earlier. On November 22, 1841 Jas. E. Heath, an auditor in the Auditor's Office in Richmond, issued the following statement:
"This is to Certify That it appears from a List in this Office of such Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia State Line during the Revolutionary War, as settled their Accounts, and received Certificates for the balance of their Full Pay, according to an Act of Assembly, passed the November Session, 1781, that a Certificate issued on the 9th day of July 1783, in the name of Peter Hitt as a Soldier of Infantry for £59.4.0, which Certificate appears to have been delivered to Geo. Pickett and was given for services prior to the 1st January, 1782."
On December 2, 1841 the clerk of the Fauquier County Clerk made the following statement concerning whether or not Hannah Hitt was the wife of Peter Hitt:
"I, Alexander J. Marshall, clerk of Fauquier County Court, in the State of Virginia, hereby certify that I have searched diligently for the marriage bond of Peter Hitt, and cannot find it, and that it is probable from the size of the bundle of marriage bonds for the year 1783, and from the deranged condition of paper in the Office prior to 1804, that a part of the marriage bonds for the year 1783, is lost."
A neighbor stated under oath that he had known Peter and Hannah Hitt for many years and that they were in fact married.
Hannah Hitt, widow of Peter Hitt deceased, who died August 31, 1802 in Fauquier Co., Virginia and who was a private in the company commanded by Captain Edmonds of the regiment commanded by De Kalb in the Virginia line for 2 years, was inscribed on the Roll of Virginia at the rate of $80 per annum to commence March 4, 1836. A Certificate of Pension was issued July 5, 1842. Arrears to March 1841 amounted to $400.

EARL J. HITT:
The following was copied from the database of Earl J. Hitt in WorldConnect (no longer existent):
Birth: AFT 23 AUG 1756 in Fauquier County, Virginia
Death: 31 AUG 1802 in Fauquier County, Virginia
Burial: Peter Hitt Cemetery, Fauquier County, Virginia
The cemetery where both Peter Hitt and his wife Hannah are buried is located on a knoll on this property. A head stone is visible in this cemetery which is inscribed with: "PH AG. 31 1802." Next to Peter's grave is the grave of Hannah which is marked with a headstone inscribed with: "H. Hitt AG. 1846". These graves were discovered in 1993 using information found in the Chancery suit contesting the will of Hannah Hitt, wife of Peter.
On 15 July 1994, the Culpeper Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution placed a Revolutionary War Soldier Marker on the grave of Peter Hitt. In July 1998, a group of Hitt descendants met to install a U.S. Government tombstone at Peter's grave in the small family plot on land where Peter raised his family. The new stone was placed next to the original grave stone which still has an incription on it. The farm, on which the family plot is located, is located on the north side of the Rappahanock River where it is crossed by Route 645.
Southwest of the Peter Hitt cemetery, in the direction of the River, is a dilapidated log cabin. Because of its proximity to the cemetery, it is believed that this was the home of Peter and Hannah Hitt. Two professionals examined the cabin and they stated that it is their opinion that the building pre-dates 1850 and could possibly have been build as early as 1800 (Report on the Peter Hitt cabin; Tom Thorpe and Edward Ashby; filed at the Fauquier Heritage Society, P.O. Box 548, Marshall, Virginia 22115)
Peter's will bequeathed to his wife certain leased land on which both he and Hannah lived and died [not overtly]. The lease was originally issued to John Hopper (and later Peter Hitt) by Lord Fairfax in 1757. The location of the property is described as being at the mouth of Thumb Run and running northwest up the meanders of the Rappahannock River. Thumb Run enters the Rappahannock River in the northwestern section of Fauquier County south of the area of Crest Hill. The property consists of 200 acres of land situated in the flood plain in Rappahannock County.

AGE and DEATH DATE:
In her application for a pension based on the service of her husband in the War of Independence, Hannah said on September 7, 1841 that she was about 78 years old. The final payment voucher received from the General Accounting Office states that her date of death was August 26, 1847.
EARL J. HITT:
The following was copied from the database of Earl J. Hitt in WorldConnect (no longer existent):
Hannah was living at Leeds Manor, Fauquier County, Virginia, in 1841 on land left to her by her husband. She received a revolutionary war pension in 1843 granted for Peter Hitt's service. When she made her affidavit for the pension, she stated: ". . . that she was married in Turkey Run Church, in the County of Fauquier, by old Parson Craig, and hath lived in the said county ever since."
Hannah's will names her grandson, Thaddeus Smoot as the sole heir to her estate including the tract of land on which she lived. (Will - Fauquier County, Virginia, Will Book 20, page 221, dated in 1846).
A suit was filed June 22, 1847 in Fauquier County Circuit Court; Presley Hitt etal. vs Thaddeous N. Smoot et. al. This was a dispute over the inheritance of a tract of lease land belonging to the estate of Hannah Hitt, wife of Peter, filed because Hannah's will named her grandson, Thaddeus Smoot, as sole heir to her estate. Hannah's children contested the will, noting that the property was for her use only during her lifetime as bequeathed by their father, Peter Hitt. Therefore, the children claimed Hannah could not legally convey the land upon her death. A copy of the Peter Hitt lease is included in the court papers.
Also included in the case documents are several depositions in which persons acquainted with the Hitt family testify as to their knowledge of the ownership of the land. One deposition, that of Daniel Gladstone, stated that he rented from "the old lady" and that she died in the same house that her husband Peter had lived and died in. A second deposition, that of Foracher Edge, stated that Peter Hitt died and was buried on his leased land.
