About the Author

Michael G. Hitch was born in Salisbury, Maryland in 1959, 300 years after his 7x great-grandfather Adam Hitch. Even with the large span of time, Mr. Hitch was born less than five (5) miles from where Adam Hitch held his vast 2,000+ acre estate from the 1680s until his death in 1731. The area that is part of modern-day Wicomico County, Maryland was then contained within old Somerset County that was formed in 1666 and included all or portions of current-day Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties in Maryland and a portion of Sussex County, Delaware. Mr. Hitch acquired his love for history having grown up a son of a history teacher and combined this love with a desire to seek out his family roots. This book is a culmination of many years of research into the past, examining old records including the United States census records, old wills, Bible records, land records, private letters and many other related documents that have revealed treasures related to the history of the Hitch family. It dispels long-standing errors of previous Hitch genealogies and family legends and presents its factual information supported by thousands of source citations that formulate the most accurate account ever produced of the Adam Hitch family lineage. Additionally, Mr. Hitch has included many human interest stories and heart-felt anecdotes from a variety of sources including family members themselves that extends what might have been a simplistic and dry genealogy into a microcosm of American history from it’s earliest years to the present-day. This makes for an informative, factual and extremely fascinating book for the reader.
