The Hannah who married David Hildebrand has long been identified as Hannah McCourtney. In 1942 (second edition 1950), Anna Satori published a book, Among My Pioneer Ancestors, and it is her book that most people use as the source for David Hildebrand marrying Hannah McCourtney. Anna was wrong in her assumption which she based on oral information provided by one of the relatives. At the time Anna wrote her book, she actually had the correct information available in the form of two bible records but failed to make the connection. The first record is a listing of the children of Francis Bittick and Mary Stanfield which lists their daughter, Hannah Bittick. The second is a record for David Hildebrand and Hannah, his wife. The dates are the same for Hannah Bittick and Hannah Hildebrand and written by the same person, likely at the same time.
There is only one known Hannah McCourtney in the area at the time of David & Hannah's marriage. This Hannah McCourtney married John Bittick, a brother of Hannah Bittick, and a son of Francis and Mary. I think this is where the confusion came from - the relative knew there was a Hannah McCourtney in the family but had her connected to the wrong person. The man who provided the information to Anna Satori never knew either one of the Hannah's in question.

The "Hilderbrands" are mentioned in the 1890 Samuel Guinn Bittick letter. In a previous letter to Samuel Guinn, James Henry Bittick apparently asked a question regarding the Hilderbrand family. Samuel G. confirmed that he had heard of the Hilderbrands. Unfortunately, there is no further information, but it does seem to indicate a relationship between the Bittick and Hilderbrand families [see Heirlooms-1890 Samuel Guinn Bittick Letter, page 6].
