Andrew Hite Genealogy
Record modified: 2022-06-23
This is my ancestor 8 generations back.
Born: 1758-02-24 Pennsylvania USA
Died: 1819-02-24 Fairfield Co, Ohio USA
Marriages:
1. Anna Taylor
Children of Andrew Hite and Anna Taylor:
Notes:
Married Magdalena Taylor in 1815 (after Anna died)
--
I originally found this Andrew as son of Abraham Hite and Magdalena (unknown). It seems this is incorrect, and his father is really Andreas. My original source also has him born in Fairfield Co OH, but it seems fairly well documented that Andrew and his three brothers were born in PA. I'm still not convinced that his sister is Catherine.
--
This page has Andrew as son of Andreas Hite born before 1737, Germany. It does not list Catherine as his sister. His siblings are shown as Daniel, John, and Abraham Sr.
--
A RootsWeb entry says that Andreas immigrated to Philadelphia on the Ship "Saint Andrew Galley" on September 26, 1737, sailing from Rotterdam via Cowes, England. He was born in Germany.
--
from DAR records:
He served in the Revolutionary War as a Private under CAPT Michael Reader.
In the DAR database he is number A055667.

[The Jr normally indicates just a younger man with the same name, not necessarily a father-son relationship. This Andrew didn't have a son Andrew. Maybe he is the Andrew Jr and the other is his father, but more likely the Jr is a nephew. I don't know the children of all his brothers. The John is probably his son, but might be a nephew.]
