Admittedly, I have not looked at this family in several years. Celia Sites, born ca. 1871 and probably prior to 23 April 1872, per her marriage and guardianship record. She has not been located in the 1880 census by any last name. Celia undoubtedly was born after Job Sites' death in 1870, and does not appear in any record as his child. On 1 August 1884 in Pendleton County, James P. Sites was appointed guardian of Celia Sites, aged 12, infant daughter of Mary A. Sites, deceased. [Pendleton County, WV, County Court Record 1881-1886:238. This record would suggest a later birthdate for Celia than that shown in her marriage record. If this date is accurate, her paternity is unknown.] James P. Sites, guardian of Celia Moyers, nee Sites, infant daughter of Polly Ann Sites, deceased, resigned as her guardian on 23 April 1891, and Aaron I. Moyers was appointed, she being 19 years of age. [Pendleton County, WV, County Court Record 1890-1897:20.] Celie Sites, aged 20, married Aaron I. Moyers, aged 22, on 28 October 1890 in Grant County, West Vir! ginia. [Grant County, WV, Register of Marriages 1:40.] On 1 October 1891 Isaac and Celia Moyers of Grant County conveyed to Martin H. Harper their undivided interest in the lands of Jesse W. Harper, deceased. ["Deed of Sale from Isaac and Celia Moyers to Martin H. Harper," 1 October 1891 (recorded 13 April 1892), Pendleton County, WV, Deed Book 31:78-79.] Celia was the granddaughter of Jesse W. Harper of Pendleton County. Perhaps we should look for a marriage of Celia or Clara Moyers to Peter Pennington. Nedra ndbrill@comcast.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
