Bringing family and history together.
Jesse Hittson, the father of William, was a Virginian by birth, but drifted through several of the Southern States before finally locating in Texas. He was married in Tennessee to Miss Polly Beck, and after his marriage moved to Mississippi, then to Rusk County, and in 1855 to Palo Pinto County, where he died six years later. He had followed farming in the older States, but upon his arrival in Texas he purchased a stock of cattle and adopted the J E - S brand, which afterward became quite well known along the Brazos. After Jesse Hittson's death his stock was managed in the interest of his widow by his son, John. Mrs. Hittson's death occurred in 1883.
