  Notes	Jacob Santmyers was the miller at Bell Grove Plantation in Middletown, Virginia. He was a very important person to the Hite family. Upon Ann Maury Hite's death, the family asked if Jacob wanted to buy anything before the property was auctioned. Jacob bought a pair of mares and some linens. A store ledger has recently surfaced in which Jacob's name appears around 1840, apparently for the purpose of buying and selling goods on behalf of Belle Grove Plantation. Cattle, horses, hogs, and wheat were sold, and supplies were purchased on behalf of the Plantation. So he was an early business agent for the Hite family. This was just before he headed out for Missouri. He did have a problem with Henry Trout, a wagon maker here in Front Royal, as he had to sue him to get the wagon he had paid for. - Ron Santmyers Jacob and Harriet moved their family to Davis Twp., LaFayette Co., Missouri in November 1856. They remained here until 1875 and then moved Tarant Co., Texas. Jacob served six months in the Confederate Army in the Sixth Regiment Missouri State Guards under Captain Trent. Jacob spent his life farming and was a miller by trade. He was a Democrat in politics and he and his wife were members of the regular Baptist Church. After Jacob's death, Harriet moved back to Missouri. Information contributed by Gerilee Santmyers
