WIFE/WIVES:

The ages of the wife in 1810 and 1820 suggest that Arthur's first wife may have died and that he may have remarried between 1810 and 1820. Thus Susannah Hitt may or may not be the mother of Mahala.

EARL J. HITT:

The following was copied from the database of Earl J. Hitt in WorldConnect (no longer existent):

Arthur was a loyalist and served as a Pvt in the British Army during the Revolutionary War. It is said that he was captured at the battle of Yorktown and imprisioned at Fredericksburg, Vriginia.
One author says that the descendants of Arthur Gladstone changed their name to Gladson. The name Gladson will be used only where it is specifically used by a descendant.
