the Stites of the Upper and Part of the Middle Township have decended, lived on
the places now occupied by his grandsons, John and Townsend Stites.  at
Beesley's point.  The Middle Township Stites, below the court house are
descendants of Benjamin Stites, who was possably a brother of Henry and was in
the county in 1705."  Stevens p. 55
