David and Margaret lived in St. Clair Township in the early years of their marriage and some of their children were baptized at the Old Log Lutheran and Reformed Church in Osterburg. In the 1840s, they moved into the area that was then
Greenfield Township of Bedford County, probably to present-day Juniata Township of Blair County where David's brother Conrad was living. They had one child baptized in the Newry Lutheran Church in the village of Newry, a church Conrad Hite
also attended. In 1850, David and Margaret moved to Iowa and settled in Canton Township of Benton County. David bought eighty acres of land soon after his arrival and eventually became one of the largest landowners in the area. He and
Margaret joined the Grand Prairie United Church of the Brethren. They had twelve children, all of whom were born in Pennsylvania except the youngest.
They were buried in Grand Prairie United Church of the Brethren Cemetery in Benton County
David and Margaret (Stephens) Hite, who came to Iowa and located in Benton Township of this county on May 4, 1850. David Hite bought 80 acres from the government, which he later sold, but remained a resident of Benton Township until his death,
when about 70 years of age.

society were held at their log house. David was a stanch Republican, but never held political office. He was born in PA, but his father, a native of Germany, served through the American Revolution; his mother was a native of PA, and of German descent. David Hite and his wife had
