John Hitt, Sr is the son of the immigrant Peter Hitt and his wife Ellsbeth Cathrina Otterback. He was born about 1715. John was married twice. His first wife's name is unknown.

Mary Ann Hitt who was married 3 times Joel Martin, William George Strange, and Joseph Hall, Peter Hitt who married Hannah James, Martin Hitt who married Mary Molly James, Leanor who married John Proudfoot, Susannah who married Arthur Gladstone, Aaron who married Catherine Holtzclaw, William who married first to Lydia "Liddie" her maiden name is unknown, and second to Malinda Roley, and lastly Martha who married Joshua Kemper.
