She was born abt 1717 or 1727 at Germantown, Fauqier Co., Virginia, and died 16 Nov 1813 at Grayson County, VA. According to Mrs. Smart's book, "They (Jacob and Mary Ann Rector) are buried about two miles east of the present day Delhart, Virginia." There is some controversy about the Hitt family, surrounding Peter Hitt's lineage and marriage(s). To further complicate matters, Germanna Record, No. 1 has Mary Ann Hitt married to a "Joel Martin". Mrs. Smart claims this is a mistake, and has Jacob Rector marrying Mary Ann Hitt. She offers evidence that in his will, Peter Hitt beqeaths his daughter Mary RECTOR a hundred acres of land. In addition, she says that in 1798, "Jacob and Mary deeded land to their son, Bennit Rector, but they remained on the place as long as Jacob lived." There are a number of other references to deeds drawn on behalf of Jacob and Mary Rector, and she includes a copy of Jacob's 1810 will (probated in 1811). She also references Dr. Holtzclaw's efforts to clear up the accounts of Jacob Rector's children in his "Germanna Record No. 4, which was the sourcebook for her presentation of the material referenced above.
