Frances Rencher?
The Rencher surname is given for Frances because John Hitch's inventory names Thomas Rencher as next-of-kin - maybe father-in-law? Additionally, in the will of Thomas Rencher written November 1, 1764 and probated in Somerset County on April 28, 1772 (MdW-38pt2), it mentions Sarah Beard and Frances Hitch, strengthening the case that Thomas Rencher was perhaps father-in-law of John Hitch. On November 11, 1767, Frances Hitch is named as administratrix of the estate of John Hitch, deceased, valued at £211.12.7½ (MdPrA-58:5). Frances married John Hitch, son of John Hitch and Elizabeth (Baty) (?). (John Hitch was born on 11 Jul 1732 in Somerset Co., MD and died in 1765-1766 in Somerset Co., MD.) |
