PROBATE:

Probate records for William Hitt are in Box 139, Package 5 (image 122/1348) of Laurens Co. Estate Papers. They can be seen online at familysearch.org. Probate records for his wife Milly are in Box 181, Package 9 (image 193/1006).

Milly Hitt died in 1875, and John J. McGowan was granted letters of administration on her estate on November 20, 1875.

On December 8, 1875 there was a sale of the personal property of Mrs. Milly Hitt. Proceeds were $193.18. Mrs. Sallie Hitt bought 1 bedstead and furniture ($20.50). Mrs. Harrison Fuller bought 3 items ($3.30). Mrs. Susan Smith bought 8 items ($9.75).

In 1883 John J. McGowan submits a undated petition to the probate court of Laurens Co. in which he says that in 1875 Milly Hitt died leaving a small personal estate and that in 1875 letters of administration were granted to the petitioner. He then petitions the court to order all distributees and creditors of the estate to appear in court on March 29, 1883 so that he can make an accounting and final settlement of the said estate and be discharged from his duties (image 97).

Reference is made to a lawsuit in which John J. McGowan as the administrator of the estate of Milly Hitt, deceased is the plaintiff and the defendants are Susan Smith, Agnes Hitt, Sallie Andrews, Henry F. Hitt, William Hitt, and M. E. Babb C.C.P. as administrator of Elizabeth Fuller, dec'd. M. E. Babb is further identified as administrator de bonis non of Benjamin Hitt, deceased, but that reference is marked out (image 206). Henry F. Hitt and William Hitt are not identified, but they are in fact sons of the Benjamin Hitt who died in 1862. The plaintiff seeks a citation for final settlement and discharge. The defendants are summoned to appear before the Probate Court of Laurens Co. on June 30, 1883 to show cause, if any, why the estate of the said Milly Hitt, dec'd, should not be settled and the said John J. McGowan as administrator discharged from his trust.
