More on Elizabeth Buckner Stith 1700-1756
o Section maintained by David Hupp
o Will of Major John Stith, Sr. who died in 1694.
This was the earliest Stith found in Virginia. Most records give only John, Drury and Ann
Bolling as his children and don't know about Jane Luellin or Agnes Wynn because the
records were burned or lost. This John Stith is the ancestor of Richard Stith,
above. This provided by Harriet Fast Scott.
o THE CASE FOR JANE DRURY by Harriet Fast
Scott. (Jane was Maj. John's wife)

oNotes on Richard Stith, Sr. (b. 1727)
family from Kenneth Stith, December 2009.
o Origin of the Stith name: note from: Richard Taylor Stith III
Shakespeare refers (in Hamlet, as I recall) to a "vulcan stithy", seeming to
refer to an iron smith, rather than a farmer. This would accord with some dictionary I saw
(check the Oxford English Dictionary, 20 volume version) which refers to an origin in the
Old Norse word "stethy", meaning "anvil" (=clearly related to our word
"steady", so that could also be looked up in the OED).
