| In the 1700s, many German-speaking immigrants came to the area in Pennsylvania that is now Berks County, and that is where records show Johann Nicolaus Hiteshew, presumed son of immigrant Jacob, acquiring land in 1752. This is part of a pattern indicating that Jacob Hiteshew was part of the [[articles:palatine_migration|Palatine Migration]]. As individual biographies will show, Jacob and his early descendants lived in communities that included many Palatine German immigrants and their descendants. They also were active in the Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed congregations formed in the 1700s by German-speaking immigrants from Protestant areas of Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, and France. | In the 1700s, many German-speaking immigrants came to the area in Pennsylvania that is now Berks County, and that is where records show Johann Nicolaus Hiteshew, presumed son of immigrant Jacob, acquiring land in 1752.

| In tracing Hiteshew ancestry, I began by working backwards from my great grandfather, [[:hiteshew:1804_daniel:daniel_01_susan:1838_james_m:james_01_virginia:1868_william_thomas|William T. Hiteshew]]. His death certificate (available from the Ohio Department of Health) shows Maryland as his birthplace, and also the birthplace of his parents, who are listed as "Jas Hiteshew" and "Virginia Grey." A variety of other records provide confirmation that "Jas Hiteshew" was James M. Hiteshew, born 29.Jan.1838 in Maryland. | In tracing Hiteshew ancestry, I began by working backwards from my great grandfather, [[surname:hiteshew:1804_daniel:daniel_01_susan:1838_james_m:james_01_virginia:1868_william_thomas:start|William T.

| The next steps back rely heavily on biographical information from the book [[sources:start#history_of_frederick_county|History of Frederick County Maryland]], first published in 1910, which states that Daniel Hiteshew and Susan Grinder were the parents of a James M. Hiteshew of Cumberland (Maryland) who was in the Second Maryland Home Brigade (Union Army) during the Civil War. That book also states that Daniel Hiteshew was born in 1804 in Frederick County (Maryland), and that his father was George Hiteshew, farmer and native of Frederick County. Finally, the book notes that George Hiteshew also was the father of sons George and Jacob, both of whom served in the War of 1812. | The next steps back rely heavily on biographical information from the book [[sources:start#history_of_frederick_county|History of Frederick County Maryland]], first published in 1910, which states that Daniel Hiteshew and Susan Grinder were the parents of a James M.

| At this point, tracing ancestry further back became more difficult. I could find no birth, baptism or death records for Daniel Hiteshew, so I turned to Federal Census records for 1800 and 1810 hoping to find Daniel's father. While sites like Ancestry.com provide a way to search such records for names, that method only works if a recognizable version of the name was originally recorded and then correctly transcribed. In fact, there are a lot of errors, so it sometimes becomes necessary to pore over digital images of the original, handwritten (and sometimes faded or stained) census records. Having done this, I can report with confidence that no name resembling George Hiteshew can be found in the 1790, 1800 or 1810 census records for Frederick County, Maryland. In all three census years, however, there were households listed for a Phillip or P Hiteshew. Some of the census records are organized by township, and these have Phillip Hiteshew in the Taney district, which is the area around [[:articles:taneytown|Taneytown]]. Knowing this, we can find dots possibly connecting this Phillip Hiteshew to Daniel Hiteshew by jumping further into the past and then working forward. | At this point, tracing ancestry further back became more difficult.

| In making the jump to the past, it helps to know that the area around [[:articles:taneytown|Taneytown]] in Frederick County, Maryland was heavily populated by German-speaking settlers who came from Pennsylvania. It also helps to know that during the 1700s, Philadelphia was a main port of entry for German-speaking immigrants, many of whom initially moved into what became Berks and Lancaster counties, and then continued to migrate south and west. | In making the jump to the past, it helps to know that the area around [[:articles:taneytown|Taneytown]] in Frederick County, Maryland was heavily populated by German-speaking settlers who came from Pennsylvania.
