Nathan Sites b. 1830 - Epic of the East
I am looking for information about my ancestor Robert Sites and his son Rev. Nathan Sites.
Robert was born about 1793, either in Pennsylvania or Virginia.His family is supposed to be of German ancestry and therefore probably spelled their name Seitz.In 1827 he married Sarah Fidler, daughter of Nathan, who was born in Bedford, VA, in 1799.In 1830 he acquired two land grant patents in Richland Cty., Ohio.

His China journals were organized into a book by his wife, Sarah Moore Sites, called 'Epic of the East.'
