Notes for Martha Patsy Hite:
1782 ,Halifax Co.,VA, tax/census of 1782, p.24,Stanly Hite-5 white souls.
Since Stanley's oldest son Vincent wasn't born until about 1787, who were these five people?
Probably Isaac Hite was included because he was living beside Stanley Hite on the next 1785 tax
list.Were the other members siblings of Isaac and Stanley?Maybe Stanley was the oldest son
of a deceased father?The adjoining neighbors were--
Will Wilson, Rich Arrington, John Arrington, Reuben Jones, Bart Elliott, Ann Elliott
{grandparent}, Stanly Hite-5 white souls, Tom Wilson, Will Pettypool, Robert Jones, Archibald
Loftis, John Williams, Hampton Wade, David Wall, Joseph Fontain, Peyton Talley, John Griffin,
