Paula,
I'm so glad you responded; I'm sorry it's taken me so long to check my e-mail! I had all but given up on responses to that query even though I had posted it on several different boards! I am most interested in hearing what you know about Conrad Crites and Polly Wills, Sarah Crites and David Drum, etc.
My wife and I have in the past month relocated home to Cape Girardeau from St. Louis so I'm able to research the family much more easily. I am descended from one David Crites b. either 1791 or 1795 depending on the source and died May 7, 1866. I cannot find his headstone, and am sure that he was buried on the David "Doc" Drum farm in that family's cemetery.
Any information you have on this early Crites branch and family group, especially that which could lead me to David Crites' (179x - 1866) parents would be extremely valuable to plugging that Crites line into the rest of the Cape County Criteses. This David Crites of whom I speak is the one that other noted Crites researchers (including June Shaull Lutz and Lorena Eaker) have mentioned only casually at best, as there is little information on him. My original research and documentation proves that he was the father of John (Jack) Crites, a connection that had not been made thus far. It is my hope that in discovering David's history and place in the tree that I can make a significant contribution to Crites history.
I know I've gotten wordy here; I'm just excited at the prospect of learning more information about this particular Crites/Drum bunch. David Drum (Drumm)'s father, William Joseph Drum is my 6th great-grandfather through his daugher (David's sister) Mary Magdalena Drum who married Davault Crites.
Thanks, Paula. I look forward to hearing from you and exchanging information. If you need anything looked up here in Cape County, let me know.
