Need photo ID of "Mrs. Fite", probably Warren Co, TN

montanapets — 2012-04-15 06:18:52Z

In my mother's things was this pic.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/montanapets/6932663622/in/set-7...
On the back it says "Mrs. Fite, Ma Evans closest friend." Ma Evans would be GGM,Nancy Jane (Evans) Reynolds (1860-1934) married to Thomas Monroe Reynolds (1851-1920). Nancy is found in the Warren Co census every year except 1900 she and Thomas appear in DeKalb. I found this one findagrave that sure looks like her: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Fi...;
I emailed the person who posted it but he didn't reply. It's interesting that she's an Evans too which intrigues me even more to know if she's also a relative. There's a huge age diff in the two women but the pics look an awful lot alike. Can you ID this person?

danshelton01 — 2011-05-26 02:45:37Z

Hi. I'm looking for info on my great grandfather. He only appears in the 1920 census for McAlester, OK. He married my ggma (Masel Shelton) at the age of 18 and he lived with her parents in McAlester, OK. They had one child (my grandfather) and split up soon after. He then married Laura P Young abt 1922 and they had 2 children BH and Marjorie. I was told he died in 1938 in Kiowa County, OK. According to the 1920 census, he was born in Louisiana and worked on the Railroad

From the informatin I have gathered my husband's ancestors were from Tennessee and then came to Arkansas.

Re: Ancestor seach

danshelton01 — 2011-05-15 05:24:16Z

Thomas Fite is my great grand father. Laura was his 2nd wife. My grand father James Shelton and B.H. are step brothers. Do you have an aunt named Marjorie? Thomas Fite at the age of 18 was first married to Masel Shelton and they had my grandpa. Somehow they split and my grandpa was adopted by Masel's parents, hence the last name Shelton. The trail has gone cold as far as info on Thomas Fite. I believe he died 1938 in Kiowa County, OK. Have you found any additional info?

Re: CSA Captain John Wesley Fite - Jackson MS

kbroadribb — 2011-04-09 17:48:16Z

Hallo there,

I've been researching the life of Captain John Wesley Fite's great-grandson, the noted character actor Logan Ramsey (Logan Carlisle Ramsey Jr, 1921-2000), as part of a creative writing assignment which has steadily grown into a quest.

I would be very grateful if you are able to share the photo and biographical material with me - e-mail scans would be fine. This is purely for my private study.

Incidentally, Captain Fite's burial details are now listed on Find A Grave but no photo has yet been added. I'm hoping a Fite descendant will see this message and perhaps be able to contribute to that.

Re: FITE FAMILY

yarnovaj — 2011-04-05 00:43:05Z

I am also researching this family. My husband is Parlee's ggg grandson. Do you know anything about her daughter Harriet Matilda? She married William Ray and is buried in Round Hill Cemetary, but I cannot figure out what happened to her and why she is buried there alone? Any info you have I would appreciate and will give you any I might have.

Re: Fites Family History

PatDFite — 2010-09-21 19:31:16Z

Hi Mary, I do not have much information on your Fite line.
I do not believe that you are descended from Johannes and Catherine Fite. I do not believe that Gilbert is a son of Johannes. He is not listed in Johannes will, though that does not prove he is or isn't a son.
Your descent is:
Gilbert Fite m Miss Earlywine
Jacob Fite and Margaret (Peggy) Cotterill
Jacob Fite Jr. m Minerva B. Ralston
Nancy Ann Fite m (?) Page
Josephine Page
This is not my husband's line, but I have done a lot of research on all Fite families.

Send me an email and I will give you the address of someone that I have corresponded with on this family. I do not want to post his email address without permission.

I am a decendant of Johannes Fite and Catherine Fite, Gilbert and ?Earlywine, Jacob and Mary, Jacob Jr and Minerva. I am looking for information about Nancy Ann Fite (daughter of Jacob Jr. and Minerva) and her children Josephine Page and Sanford Mason Fite.

I have records of Josephine and Sanford being placed in Wilson Children's home in 1885. Josephine was my Great-Grandmother. We never knew of Sanford Mason until recently. I would appreciate any information concerning any of my Fite relatives.

Thank you,

Hi,
I would love to know any info you have on Andrew Clendenning & Elizabeth Bell; birth, death & the like. Did they also have a son who ran a store in Miami county, IN? I seem to recall having found a John Clendenning in the same area. I could be wrong on the name & will have to check. Thanks Lisa & Marilyn

Re: Fites Family History

Go to Google Book Search and put in The Fite Family. Click on that and put in page 106. This tells about the Maryland family of Heinrich Vogt. On page 113, it mentions a Andrew Fite who died in Indiana. Maybe this is your Andrew. I have not really researched this branch of the family. Let me know if you have problems finding this information.

Re: Fites Family History

It is Andrew M Fites. born 12-17-1802, Maryland and died 10-14-1873 in Miami county Indiana. I am unable to proceed any further.

Re: Fites Family History

PatDFite — 2010-07-17 14:38:10Z

Give me a little more information. Is the last name of your Andrew M Fite or Fites. There is not any Fites listed in the book. What are the dates and places of his birth and death. The book has many errors as Elizabeth S. Fite mixed the children of two Peter Fite's. If you go to Google Books, at least part of the book is listed online.

Also, to clarify, my inquiry was in regards to the circumstances of John Benjamin Fite's death. I will have to look up the death certificate for the details, but he is listed as a widower and a pauper, and apparently buried in potter's field; my records indicate that Sarah Ellen Havens Fite was still alive at the time of John's death.

Re: Looking for relatives Fite are you kin

Jonathan_Fauth — 2010-07-08 13:39:27Z

Hi Dennis, I was actually finishing up an email to your yahoo address when I received an alert that a response had been posted to this thread. Check your inbox (it will be coming from jefauth@gmail.com) for a more detailed explanation of my research thus far.

I was aware that Benjamin Franklin Fite was killed during the civil war, but I do not have his death certificate. I do have Bathsheba's petition for a widower's pension though, which also lists John Benjamin as a dependent.

I also have two deeds that record John Benjamin Fite Sr.'s land purchases in Lewis County, Kentucky, in 1879 and 1897.

I will check my records and post these if I've transcribed them.

Re: Looking for relatives Fite are you kin

dennisfite1 — 2010-07-08 13:25:26Z

Yes, Benjamin Franklin Fite died in Tennessee in the civel war. On my file for Ancestory is a death certificate. He was born in Brown--correct.

Re: Looking for relatives Fite are you kin

Jonathan_Fauth — 2010-07-08 10:08:23Z

Hi, Thomas Bruce Fite and Mary Magdalene Kiser are my great-grandparents. The circumstances surrounding John Benjamin Fite's death are a bit puzzling, perhaps you have some information. Also, I have Benjamin Franklin Fite's place of birth as Ohio, not Germany.

Death of Mrs. Sallie T. Fite - 1891

maryachtrh — 2010-04-27 22:28:48Z

Taken from the Cherokee Advocate, Oklahoma, 15 April 1891

Died - At Sherman, Texas, April 12th inst., Mrs. Sallie T. Fite. Mrs. Fite was born in Franklin County,Georgia, September 3rd, 1823 and moved with her father, Felix G. Denmon, to old Cass County in that State, when she was quite young, where she has lived ever since only when visiting her children in this country. In about the year 1846 she was married to Mathew Thompson, a brother of Capt. Johnson Thompson of this place. By this union there are now living two sons, Dr. J. A. Thompson of Tahleuah and Parson Gilbert Thompson of Sherman, Texas. She subsequently married Dr. Henderson Fite, who has been here a short time. By this marriage six children are now living,three of them, Dr. Richard Fite of this place also Mrs. Dr. Treadwell, and Dr. Bartow Fite of Muskogee, all of whom, are well known to the citizens of this community. We have known the deceased for fifty years as we were raised near each other in the "Old Nation" North Georgia. Although brought up in the lap of wealth she possessed from childhood remarkable business and industrial habits supplemented by a strong and vigorous mind which have eminently qualified her to meet the reversal of fortune though she had reached middle age. Her great ambition was to educate her children and bring them up in ways of respectability, and to this end she has, not only to her children direct, but to her numerous grandchildren, spent the remnant of her days. In recording the demise of Mrs. Fite we are touched with a sense not ordinarily felt in records of this character. We went to school together, played together when children, and in maturer years associated together at socials and festivals such as were common at that day and time in Old Pine Log Valley Peace to her ashes.
