Biography Information for The following article was copied from a Church history book Published in 1986 for the 'Belvidere Congregational United Church of Christ' the former 'Belvidere Methodist Episcopal Church.' Titled 'A Century of Caring and Sharing' Page 6 The M. E. Nebraska Conference Journal, Hastings District said: At Belvidere a new church 30x50, was dedicated August 8th. The debt is all provided for, including what is due the church Extension Society. The building cost $1,400.00.' Jesse Jay of Belvidere is listed as a local preacher in the same conference journal. Page 7 Belvidere a Point on this circuit makes and urgent request to set apart by itself and have a minster live in place; and I believe that the interest of the church demands their request be granted. This request was granted and L.. D. Willard became the first resident clergy of the Belvidere M. E. Church from September 1891 to September 1892, at which time the district Superintendent reported the following in the journal: 'Belvidere is a work cut off from Alexandria last year. It has been supplied by L. D. Willard, a local deacon in our church. Souls have been converted, a new parsonage purchased and the work is in healthy condition.' Jesse Jay was still a local preacher, also Brother Willard received $500 salary plus house rent $72. Page 9. Rev. Jesse Jay, a local preacher in the Belvidere Church for many years, One most Christlike men with whom he has yet formed an acquaintance.' Rev. Jesse Jay was born of Quaker parentage and converted in a Methodist camp meeting and joined the church soon after. He filled the offices of class leader, steward, trustee and local preacher, according to his obituary. He was a useful member in and a strong supporter of the M. E. Church in every way.
Page 207-208 The Clay-Harris and Jay-Hitt Families The Jesse Jay family lived on a farm 2 miles west and half mile north of Belvidere. The family consisted of Jesse's wife Jane, and six daughters, Augusta Jessie, Alazanna Labitha, Euphema Iowa, Julia Virginia, Lydia, Lucy and one son Orville. The household also included Grandmother Able, mother of Mrs Jesse Jay. Jesse, in addition to being a farmer, served as a local Methodist minister, serving the Belvidere Methodist, back before they had a building in which to worship, when they held meetings in the schoolhouse, and someone had to lead the singing without the benefit of an organ. Living on father west, just east of Carlton, Nebraska, on a timber claim was the Joseph Hitt family. Joseph was married to Mary Wolverton on September 25,1851 in Astoria, Illinois and they came west in the latter 1870's settling just east of Carlton. They had eleven children, two dying in infancy, William, Angeline, Francis, James, Thomas, Levi, Barton, Charles, David, Era, and Edgar Albert. The sons of the Hitt family often pitched in and helped Jesse Jay with the farm work, Jesse having only the one son.

Clay family consisted of Herman A. and Lewis, both whom died in infancy, and Edith and Susie. In 1881, when a band of Salvation Army soldiers held revival meetings in Belvidere, Henry's father B. F. Clay, confessed Christ as his personal Savior and joined the Belvidere Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a faithful member until his death on July 07,1928, at he age of 79 years, 4 months and 18 days.

FIRST REGIMENT
Wabasha county was well represented in the war of the rebellion, and responded nobly to the call for men. Although so young prior to these stirring events (the grandest in the history of the world), it furnished its full quota of heroes, who fought and bled for their country, returning in honor to their homes, or laid down their lives as martyrs in a glorious cause. It would not have seemed strange if many beheld the approach of that terrible conflict with indifference, and felt a want of patriotic ardor, that characterized older and more favored sections. But if all the facts could be set forth of public and personal sacrifice, of heroic devotion and persistent efforts by the people of this country, it would not only compare favorably with the most loyal communities of the land, but make a valuable contribution to the history of the state; and a careful and just recognition of the claims of each locality reflects great honor upon each neighborhood. In the beginning of the war, when no bounties were offered, and patriotism was the sole incentive to enlistments, many volunteers went from their homes to the villages which received credit for the names enrolled, so that when it was found necessary to order a draft, the claims of such localities were ignored, consequently the draft fell upon some communities already decimated by voluntary contributions. Next to our religion, the claims of country should undoubtedly receive our ardent attention, and it was this interest that caused the American people, irrespective of party or party interests, to respond so promptly, and sacrifice so mush in such a cause. But as citizens of the world, caring nothing for country or locality, or the welfare and prosperity of one state or section more than another, men would cease to be regarded as patriotic; and no matter how philanthropic they might regard themselves, without some special consideration for the country of our birth or adoption, and of its success and happiness, we should scarcely be considered good citizens.
The 1st regt. Minn. Vols. was mustered into service April 29, 1861, and it is a noteworthy fact that it was the first one tendered to President Lincoln upon his calls for troops after the attack upon Fort Sumter, April 19, 1861.
It was ordered to Washington, June 14, and participated in the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. In that memorable battle the regiment lost one hundred and eighty-nine men. The bravery of its officers and men in that engagement filled the whole country with admiration. Charge after charge was made, and still the Minnesota First stood its ground, every man proving himself a hero. The regiment participated also in the skirmish at Edward's Ferry, Maryland, October 22, 1861, guarding six miles of the Potomac in the battle of Yorktown, May 7, 1862; was in two engagements at Fair Oaks, May 31 and June 1; in battles of White Oak Swamp and Nelson's Farm, June 30, 1862; in the battle of Malvern Hill, July 31, 1862. In these last engagements the regiment lost, in killed, wounded and missing, ninety-one men. October 7, 1862, it took part in a heavy reconnaissance to Malvern Hill, also several severe skirmishes. August 30, 1862, it reached Centreville, Virginia, and acted as rear guard of Gen. Pope's retreat from Fairfax Court House to Chain Bridge; had several severe skirmishes; participated in battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862; the first siege of Fredericksburg, December 11, 12, and 13, 1862; the second Fredericksburg, May 3, 1863; also the fearful struggle of Gettysburg, July 2 and 3, 1863, and was at Bristow Station, October 14, 1863. There is probably no regiment of the whole war that shows a better record than that of the heroic Minnesota First. He appeared on the census of 1880; Thaddeus Hitt is found in Shible,Swift Co., Minnesota. age 47 head of household, married.

The 1850 Federal Census for Green County, Alabama lists Solomons children as: Jasper W., Samuel J., Edmund P., Sarah H., and John S (Jasper W. is believed to be Jasper David Hitt). 2. Solomon Jasper joined the Elington Baptist Church at Clinton, Alabama in 1851 and was ordained by this church on 19 April 1852; with the Rev. E. B. Teague, pastor of Providence Church, Sumter County, Alabama and Rev. William L. Boyd, pastor of Memphis Church, Pickens County, Alabama, officiating. 3. Solomon and his family were living in Rankin County in 1860 where he was the pastor of several churches. 4. Solomon lived in Clinton for about four years. In about 1856 he moved to Dallas County, Alabama. In 1865 to Rankin County, Mississippi. The following is from the Minutes of the Springfield Association which traces the career of Solomon:210 S. J. Hitt. The subject of this sketch was born in Laurens District, South Carolina, June 2, 1811, where he lived with his parents, David and Jane Hitt, until his 11th year, when, with his parents he moved to Greene County, Alabama, where he grew to manhood, enjoying the benefits of a common English education. He was fourth from the oldest of a family of ten children, who grew to man and womanhood, all of whom he survived except the two youngest; one of whom is still living. He passed the early years of his manhood in teaching and farming until 25 years of age, when he was married to Eliza Strother Everett, November 10, 1836. To this union, there were nine children born, seven boys and two girls, all of whom, (save one who died in infancy) lived to man and womanhood, and six are still living, three of whom are members of the Baptist Church. Rev. S. J. Hitt joined the Baptist church of Christ at Clinton, Greene County, Ala., early in the year 1851, and was ordained to the full work of the gospel ministry by the same church on the 18th of April, 1852, Rev. E. B. Teague, pastor of Providence Church, Sumter County, Ala., and Rev. Wm. L. Boyd, pastor of Memphis Church, Pickens County, Ala., officiating. He was actively engaged in the ministry in Alabama during the four years he lived there until 1856. During those years he served the churches, viz: Clinton, Beulah, Buck Creek, Cooksville, State Line and others not remembered. In 1865 he moved with his family to Rankin County, Ms., where he soon arose toeminence as a Baptist minister, receiving more calls than he could possibly fill. He has supplied churches in four or five different counties, viz: Polkville, Mt. Carmel, Shiloh and White Oak, in Smith County; Mountain Hill and Zion Hill, in Simpson County, Line Creek, in Scott county, and others not remembered. Some of the above churches he werved fifteen or twenty years successfully in the Master's cause until about three years before his death, when declining health and old age put on the brakes and placed on his hitherto active life; however, he continued t preach occasionally until two months before he died, and never seemed satisfied to give up serving churches. On the 17th of July, 1868, he lost the companion of his early life, death severing the tie, and on the 22nd of July 1869, he was married to Miss Malvina McLehany. To this union there were two children born, both girls, and both are living at this time - one married and the other single; both are members of the Baptist church. On the 3rd of February, 1892, he passed peacefully and gently fromthis life to enter that reward which Christ, the Lord, has reserved for them that love Him and keep His commandments, aged eight years eight months and one day, having been actively engaged in the ministry nearly forty years.

Hitt son of John G. Hitt purchased 49 36/100 acres of land in Page 272 Randolph County, Arkansas. John must have been heir to his son's land after the son died because on 22 October 1894, John G. Hitt and his wife Elizabeth Hitt deeded to F. C. Hulen of Ripley County, Missouri, 49 36/100 acres of land for the sum of $200.00. This land described as West fractional one half of SE quarter, Section 4, Township 21, Range 3E. Deed filed 10 May 1897, after the deaths of both Charles and John G. Hitt.

When John died he still owned 160 acres of land which was the homestead where he and his wife lived until their deaths. 16. In the Probate Court of Clay County, Arkansas, the application for Letters of Administration were filed on 8 February 1897; A. J. Whitehead, Adm. Many of John's children, both dead and alive, were listed under heirs: Jim Hitt - Texas; Wm Hitt - (dead) children in Stoddard County, Mo; Jno Hitt - (dead); Charles Hitt - (dead); Columbus Hitt - Palatka, Clay County, Arkansas; D. M. Hitt - (Dead, Donna Marie wife of A. J. Whitehead); Nancy J. Hitt - (mother, dead), one child in Texas; Sarah Francis Hitt - Palatka, Clay County, Ark; Missouri Hitt - (Beavers, Dead); and Mollie Hitt - Dead (Clay County Arkansas, County Clerks Office). In the probate court settlement of John's estate, the 160 acres of land on which John and Elizabeth were living when he died, was awarded to his widow. John's personal property was divided between his widow and his three living children: Jim M. who was living in Texas, Columbus L. of Palatka, Arkansas, and W. R. McNabb who was the husband of Sarah Frances. 17. The probate record for John Hitt shows that (brother) Samuel Hitt, of Cape Girardeau County, filed an appeal to the Circuit Court from the judgement of the Probate Court. Samuel sued the Hitt estate for $1940.87 which had been disallowed by the Probate Court. Also with the Probate record for John was a note for $950 dated 3 April 1878 and signed by both John G. Hitt, Sr., John G. Hitt, Jr. (both signed with an X) and C. Hitt. The note was witnessed by Charley Hitt and T. J. Hitt. Samuel's suit was thrown out because of the statute of limitations with no award. 18. There is a community cemetery named the Hitt Cemetery located at Success, Clay County, Arkansas. It is located on land donated by John Green Hitt for the Hitt Baptist Church, school and cemetery. The Church was destroyed by a storm, re-organized and relocated in Success. John Green Hitt is believed to be buried in the Hitt Cemetery. John’s first wife, Eunice Fidilla MILTON, was born on 12 July 1820 in New York. 1. The name Fidilla has been written as Phidilla, Venis F., Eunice F. and Fidilla. Fidilla is used here because it appears this way on the marriage record. 2. Land sales and the divorce suit records give Fidilla's name as Eunice F. Hitt, therefore, Fidilla must have been her middle name. 3. It is believed that Fidilla retained custody of her youngest son, John Franklin, after her divorce from John Green Hitt.
