  1. Just interested in your last name. In my father?s branch of the Landrith family, there are no more by that name, due to his having all girls. He was born in or around Flat Rock Illnois to Enoch Washington Landrith who died when he was 13. He was born in 1903 to Enoch and Mary Jane (Magill), the youngest child. He was a teacher for over 35 years, teaching business. Just wondering if you?ve ever heard of Enoch. Evelyn

  2. No knowledge of Evelyn Landrith.
    My mother’s maiden name was Stella Helen Landrith. She married Arthur R. Hitt. They had 11 children of which I am the youngest. All children except I was born in Oklahoma. I was born in Mayo County, S.C., then we moved back to Ardmore, Oklahoma, where we all grew up. Mother had 1 sister, Velma Landrith and 1 half brother, Paul, of Oklahoma City.
