bullet  Notes:

"A Hitch Orchard" states that Maxey Lee Hitch was born in Laurens Co., SC. For a time he lived in Greenwood Co. which adjoins Laurens Co. In 1930 he was living in Columbus, Georgia. He was educated in the public schools of South Carolina. Is a Baptist, a Democrat and a Mason both Scottish and York rite. He left the farm when he was about 28 years old and entered textile work. Later he became connected with the post office department as a carrier. He has been for a long time greatly interested in the Hitch history and it is in part due to him I have been able to compile this work. He has been most generous in sending his notes. For a long time covering a period of years he has been gathering data. Has no children of his own but four step-children. His wife Robbie Griggs (Parrott) was a widow when he married her."

In the Federal Census of 1920, M.L. Hitch is listed in Greenwood County, South Carolina in a household as follows: - M.L.
