Mary Nelson [Nelson-2309] was recently (July 19, 2020) added as a child of Peter Heite/Hitt [Heite-11] without any evidence. It is highly unlikely that a person with surname Nelson at birth would be a child of a man with surname Heite or Hitt. The Hitt family has been extensively studied, and one of the children is Mary, who married Jacob Rector. She inherited the plantation of which her father lived. The following is from Peter Hitt's will:

I give & bequeath to my daughter Mary Rector one hundred acres of Land being the plantition [sic] Whereon I now live & my Negroe boy named Moses.

In 1773 Mary and her husband Jacob Rector sold the lot to Jeremiah Darnall. (GERMANNA RECORD NO. 2 Germantown Revisted, pg 40)

It is very unlikely that Peter Hitt would give the same name (Mary) to two of his children. That Mary Nelson married to Harmon Rector is a child of Peter Hitt is implausible, and in any event no one has offered any evidence to support that claim.

Hitt-35 and Nelson-2309 do not represent the same person because: The last name at birth do not match.
