EV. JOHN N. HIETT was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, in 1812, and died in Missouri, in 1845. He was converted and united with the Christian Church about the year 1835. He was ordained an Elder by Revs. Sine and Ferguson. He was at the first regular session of "The Christian Conference in the Valley in Virginia," at Antioch chapel, in Rockingham county, which met on the 8th of November, 1838. The churches were divided into two circuits, and Elder Hiett agreed to ride in the South circuit. He was appointed on a committee to correspond with the churches in Alleghany county, Maryland, and Bedford county, Pennsylvania, to effect a union of those churches with this Conference.

      Soon after his ordination, he married a Miss Emma Parks, and, in 1844, moved to Missouri, where a year later he died of fever. His wife died a month later, leaving two small children.
