Thomas Stites - Clark County Ohio
Don Stites 11/18/09
My ancestor Charity Corson of Clark county OH was first married to a Captain Stites. She remarried in OH in 1818 to John Wood, so Stites was presumably dead by then. By Unknown Stites, Charity had daughters Julia A Stites (1815-1897) and Doindia Stites. Julia m Henry Charles Fisk. Her step-sister, Araminta D Wood, m Henry's brother Edward Curtis Fisk. (I am descended from this couple.)
Do you think your Thomas Stites and Captain Stites could have been related? Stites were numerous in Cape May NJ where Charity was born.
I have more on Charity Corson at http://ancestraldata.com/ahnentafel/79/http://ancestraldata.com/ahnentafel/79/
I have a transcribed copy of the memoirs of the son of Henry and Julia (Stites) Fisk's son at
