Bless you !! Although I know the information you sent...at least you answered my query. Sometimes I wonder if any one reads queries. I have done quite a bit of research on Christian Sites & Elizabeth Reimel, back to a little in Baden-Wurtemberg in Germany (Johann Peter Seitz). It took me a long time to figure out the surname for Elizabeth, the wife of Christian Sites I am inclined to think the father of William B. Smith may have been David. Wm B and Christina Smith's oldest child , a son, was named David R. Smith. I think the R. was for his mothers maiden name which was Reimel. All the speculations we do to search for one hard fact! Thank you again Linda.

I am not related to the SMITH line but through the SITES line that you mentioned. Just thought that perhaps you would like to know how the VANCE line fits in. Benjamin VANCE m.
