Does anyone know of a John H. Hittinger, born about July 1853 from Germany? He married Caroline LUTZ about 1875, and they had 7 children that I know of: (1) Harry, born May 1876, PA; died May 1909 and buried in Maple Hill Cemetery, Wilkes-Berre; (2) Clara L., born Jul 1877, PA, married Fred Gross, I believe; (3) Bessie, born Aug 1881, PA, never married; (4) Edgar Stark Hittinger, born Dec 1883, PA, don't think he ever married; (5) Caroline J, born 8 Jul 1889, Ashley, Luzerne, PA, died 16 Apr 1968, Ashley; married William Henry SWARTWOOD 18 Jun 1914, Ashley; (6) John L., born Sep 1891, PA, died 16 Dec 1980, married Rachel (surname ?) about Sep 1915; and (7) Elva, born Oct 1894, died Jan 1979 as per the SSDI, family records had 27 Dec 1982, married Harry Aten about 1920.

Do any of these names and families sound familiar?

Most of the information I have on this family came from census records, except for some information from a person from the LUTZ line--John H's wife, Caroline Lutz--who had some information on the Hittinger's.
