MILITARY SERVICE:

According to Confederate State Roster -- South Carolina, Vol. II (Unit Roster), Robert Hitt, Peter Hitt, Patrick Hitt, and Henry L. Hitt were in Inf. 3rd Bn. Co. B along with Abraham Hollingsworth, Robert T. Hollingsworth, Isaac G. Lowe, and other men from Laurens District.

I haven't found this Robert Hitt in 1870 or in 1880.
