 Philip L. Hiteshew was forced to begin to earn his own livelihood early in life, his father dying when he was but a mere lad. For the five years that his mother survived her husband, he labored dutifully to assist in her support, being employed much of his time on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal.  Philip L.

-After the death of his father Daniel, Philip's mother and younger sisters most likely stayed with or near family in Middletown or Frederick.  However, the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, which ran along the border between Maryland and Virginia, did not go past Middletown or the town of Frederick.  I think it most likely that young Philip went with one or both of his older brothers to find employment at some distance from Frederick. The nearest places for likely employment on the canal (Point of Rocks, Norland Ferry) were about twenty miles distance, but there may have been more opportunities in Cumberland, where records show that Philip's older brother James M. married and was living before the Civil War.  +After the death of his father Daniel, Philip's mother and younger sisters most likely stayed with or near family in Middletown or Frederick.  However, the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, which ran along the border between Maryland and Virginia, did not go past Middletown or the town of Frederick.  So young Philip may have gone with one or both of his older brothers to find employment somewhere along the canal.
