Notes - "Hite (said by many to be a baron) was a wealthy nobleman, born in Strasbourg, Alsace, Germany, who sold his ancestral estates and fled to Holland because of religious persecution. There he married Anna Maria DuBois, daughter of Louis Du Bois, a French Huguenot, and refugee to Holland from Wicres. He was a kinsman of Louis Du Bois (b. 1626, d. 1695), one of the founders of New Paltz, who led an expedition against Indians in 1663; was in Colonial Forces against Indians in 1670; and was a descendant of Macquaire DuBois, Count De Roussy, A.D. 1110. [There is controversy about the identity of Hite's wife. Jones, Connor, & West in their 'German Origins of Jost Hite' state that Hite's wife was Anna Maria Merkle] -- Marian Saunders Bond. Some ancesters.
This information about Hite's orgins and his wife's names would seem to be incorrect in view of recent researches by Henry Z. Jones, Ralph Connor, and ____ West.
"Bonfeld records state Anna Maria Merckle, daughter of Anna Veronica _____ (m. 1684), was born Jan 16, 1687; married Johan Justus Heyd, linenweaver, Nov. 11, 1704. This is documented. Reports that Anna Maria was a Du Bois seem to be undocumented.
"Descendants of the Merckley (Mercklin) family, known in America as Markley, had traced their ancestors to Bonfeld and showed Anna Maria on their; 'Stammtafel der Familie Merckle;' they did not show her married name this was discovered by Jones and his collaborators who also found the following information on Jost Hite's parents."
