HITES, MADISON, MERCKLE posted by Beverly A. Harbourt on Sunday, June 15, 1997

I am doing research on the Hites (also spelled Heydt). There is a linkage with Long Meadows, Middletown, Frederick County, Virginia for Hans Jost Hite and his wife Anna Maria Merckle and their ten children,including Isaac Hite Jr. who married Nellie Conway Madison. I have found conflicting information on some of the family as generations moved from Long Meadows to Belle Grove Plantation to Rockingham, Augusta, and Bath Counties. I would like to meld this conflicting data into a complete entry that my daughters can give to their paternal grandparents. As I am fairly new to the genealogy field, any guidance on acquiring source documents and information would be appreciated.

VA, as his second wife, to Elliott RUTHERFORD (c.1770-c.1816). Bondsman for this marriage was Mark NEWLAND, guardian, suggesting that she was in 1807 a minor orphan.

Following her husband's death, Rachel moved to southern IL where she m.(2) 10 Oct 1821 in Alton, Madison Co. IL, as his second wife, Rev.
