bullet  Notes:

From "A Hitch Orchard": Elizabeth Hitch was left a widow with five children. After the death of her husband she made her home with her father and mother in Fairhaven, MA. She must also have lived in Pennsylvania for a time as two of her daughters, then young ladies, died there. I have seen a beautiful painting of her shown me by her grandson, Maurice Delano of Martha's Vineyard when I was making him and his family a visit. Her husband died at sea when his vessel, Barque Rajah, was wrecked in the "Ocotak Sea" (probably Okhotah). The compiler copied most of the dates for this family from gravestones in Riverside Cemetery, Fairhaven, MA.
