The Hiett and Fichter Families of Brown Co., Ohio in the Nineteenth
Century by Bruce Grimes.

William and Mary came to Brown County about 1806. They came from the
Valley of the Opeckon Creek in northern Virginia; the Opeckon empties into the Potomac River, and is the boundary between Jefferson and Berkeley Counties.
These counties are today the eastern-most part of West Virginia; but in William and Mary's day, they were still part of Virginia.
Mary's father, John Daniel, died about 1800 intestate (without a Will).
In 1805, his children sold the remaining part of 451 acres of their father's
land on both sides of the Opeckon; listed among the children are William Hiett and his wife Mary. It appears as though his estate was finally settled on April 14, 1806; his sons, Samuel and John Daniel, were administrators (Berkeley County Will Book 4, pg 65.

The Trip West:

It looks to me that having settled the Daniel estate in the year (April
1806) they were in a position to set out in the spring or summer for the newly opened up Ohio Country, where it seems many of their neighbors were going.
Many of their neighbors in Huntington Township, Ohio had their roots in
Berkeley or Jefferson County, Virginia.
William and Mary had money in their pocket and several children when they began the trip. Travel being what it was in those days. I don't imagine they ever expected to see again the families they left behind. William and Mary must have been in his twenties, when he loaded their families possessions into a wagon and headed west across the Virginia mountains with perhaps as many as five small children. Eleanor was the oldest and she was probably named after Mary's mother whose name was Eleanor.
I do not know for certain that William and Mary travelled west with other members of her family, but various sources say they all came west about the same time. Once they got to the Ohio River, I imagine they put their wagons on flatboats and floated down the river to Maysville, Kentucky, across the river from what is now Aberdeen, Ohio. It was in Maysville that they would get provisions and buy land from land agents if they didn't have a land claim in Ohio. In HBC on page 151 we are told that William Hiett bought 300 acres in the Hite Survey; the Hite Survey can be seen in the 1876 Atlas of Brown County.
The other folks travelling with them must have bought land nearby, as they remained neighbors in Huntington Township; for some reason, the neighborhood became known as Hiett although other family names were represented.

Last Will of Mary Daniels Hiett

It was written October 10, 1842 and was filed for probate by Samuel Hiett, her son, on July 9, 1857.
