Hi all,
The book is coming along nicely and I am shooting for having it done by Memorial Day 2010.
In order to make it the best it can be, I am looking for pictures of all Scites and related family members for the first five generations.
you can email me directly at scottielu at hotmail.com. I would be happy to send along what I have on your family.
Below is an example of one of the biographies for the book.
18. Christopher Adam Scites was born 4 January 1841. He was named for his grandfather, which was an old German family name. Also in the German tradition, he generally went by his middle name, Adam. After growing up in what would be Lincoln County, WV. Adam left West Virginia. In June 1860, Adam was living near Florissant, St. Louis County, MO. He was a farmhand working for Matthias V. Stiegers. M.V. was a prominent farmer, dairyman, and distiller from Maryland, who had moved to St. Louis with his family. By 1864, Adam was back in West Virginia and had joined his Scites and Porter uncles and cousins in Company “G”, 3rd West Virginia Cavalry (see Chapter 9). Following the war, Adam married Julia Ann Bills on 3 January 1867 in Cabell County, WV. Julia Ann was born 25 September 1845 in Wood County, Virginia (West Virginia). She was the daughter of Alfred Newton and Margaret Tate (Taitt) Bills. They lived their lives on Two Mile creek. There is a source that states they did live off of Four Mile for a while. Christopher Adam was a farmer and like the rest of his family a large man, reportedly to be six and half feet tall. Julia Ann was a local midwife and surely helped deliver many of the babies in the Two Mile area. Adam and Julia owned many acres in the Two Mile area. In addition to their homestead, they built a log cabin that would serve as both the community school and the local church. The cabin would stand and was used well into the twentieth century. Julia Ann died 19 April 1911. Christopher died December 1921, while living with his nephew Doliver in Two Mile. The story goes that they had to take the windows out of the house to get his coffin off out because he was such a large man. The couple are buried at the Scites Cemetery, Two Mile.
The couple had nine children, six of which survived.
