Calvin B. (Unk Lineage) Hitch

Re: HITCH Family
Mike, John Hitch is my dads Grandfather, my dad and aunts and Goldie trent my mamaw say that people said that Calvin just showed up in this area, they say people asked his name and he hesitated and said awwww I am a Hitch, and the story goes that on Calvins death bed he wanted people to ask a man to come to his death bed because he had something to tell him and only him, but died before the man got there, so we think that Calvin was not a Hitch, may have changed his name, call me if you want to talk about it, 606-738-9880, Wally Hitch

Re: HITCH Family
I'm Delpha Jane Hitch (Ratliff) great granddaughter. My grandma Juanita Ratliff (Easterling)told me her grandfather Calvin Hitch came from Pennsylvania for work. Met Grandma Polly lived with her a few years (they were never married) then went back to Pennsylvania where he had a wife and family(children?)


Got these from an on-line forum discussing the origins of Calvin Hitch as he does not show up in any known Hitch lines - it seems that Calvin Hitch may not have actually originally been a Hitch or, If he "came from Pennsylvania", maybe he descends from the Cambria Co., PA German "Hitch" line. This one is a bit of a mystery as far as ancestry is concerned. 1880 Census does say he was born in Maryland.

Calvin married Mary Jennings about 1869. (Mary Jennings was born in 1850 in KY ².)
