On these pages, I present the various lineages of the Hitch family that I have come across to date. All lines are without doubt of British ancestry except for the Peter Hitch (1808-1865) and Conrad Hitch (1849-1936) whose lines come from Germany. So far, there are 15 separate family lines I have been able to identify. Two of these, the Adam Hitch and Christopher Hitch lines probably represent about 80-90% of all the Hitch descendants in the US today. Some of these may even connect to one another via some yet undiscovered linkage. For instance, there is a long-held belief that the Adam Hitch and Christopher Hitch lines might connect further back in time with soem more distant ancestor. With many of Virginia's records being burned in the Civil War, the prospect of ever positively proving this grows dimmer with the years. I'll Keep trying!
